OK I am sorry I had to point out that you LIED about me. There are plenty of things you could productively CLOSE.
They are not the same, but they are both serious enough to warrant the decision by a priest to withhold communion in certain circumstances.
Many forms of "contraception" are actually abortive. IUDs, Norplant, and Birth Control Pills all kill babys AFTER they have been conceived.
Just heard about this actually. Did you notice how Sean started arguing like a liberal?
He was being accused on promoting contreception but he responded by throwing in the priest molestation scandal. He was essentially saying "you can't accuse of me of doing something wrong because some people in the same organization as you did something bad several years ago."
Talk about a classic red herring.
Using that ugly justification that people should be taught about contraception as a way of preventing unwanted pregnancies.
That is, if they're not catholics.
Then he says he teaches his children the church's way. But of course, he discusses sexual behaviour with a 6 and 8 yr. old........
Sean is just not that bright . . .
Sometimes called "Vatican roulette".
Sheltering homosexual pedophile priests is apparently insufficient grounds for denying communion.
All hormonal contraceptives have at least the potential to prevent implantation. (That's according to the package inserts that come with the drug; i.e., according to the manufacturer.) If you believe that life begins at conception (as you should), that means they can, sometimes, work by causing an early abortion.And how does the morality of using these drugs differ if they are taken before intercourse (when there is no possibility of anything inside to implant) versus after intercourse (when there is a possibility that there is something to implant)?
Why are you reviving all these old friends? You’re behaving like an anti-Catholic troll.
I think this whole issue was created by people who were not getting any and are jealous that everyone else that they knew is getting some.
threads, not friends.
. (Unless you count abstinence, and the Church has no objection to that one.)Lesbianism is also 100% effective (although the Church opposes that).
For the same reason that we don't hear much about denying communion to combat soldiers (many of whom are Catholic), or to folks who have used lethal force in individual self-defense.So then termination of a pregnancy that is a threat to the mother's life constitutes self-defense.
"Like" an anti-Catholic troll? He is the very definition of an anti-Catholic troll.
pregnancy that is a threat to the mother's life
Please be specific. Feel free to use actual standard medical terms. I'll know what you're talking about.
Answer: you stop having sexual relations with your wife.Sadly, this is all too common in too many marriages.
You're right - when it all came to light, some incidents happened in the 70's!It does not change a fact that there was a cover-up.
Seriously. Your comment about "not getting any" leads me to suspect that you're just attempting to inflict your mental problems on this forum. If so, seek help.
I love Sean Hannity. I am going to go out on a wild limb and say that probably he and his wife only wanted two children, which they have, and there has not been a conception since then. Many of my Catholic friends also felt “done” after two children and did something about it. Not everyone relies on natural family planning. They feel guilty but they still do it.
My friend who recently had a vasectomy went to confession about it, and was told to have it undone. He will not. Their family is complete, and one of their children has special needs.
I am not Catholic so I should not even be commenting but I am only standing up for Sean — he is probably deeply religious and faithful, like my friends, but simply feels he has had enough kids.
