The Anglican positions on marriage and sexuality are nonsensical. Would not God's true Church be more consistent? If Anglicans really want to "secure a better education for the clergy in moral theology" (Resolution 12 of the 1930 LC), then they should tell them to become Catholic.

If Roman Catholicism is being presented as "God's true church" and superior to any other denomination of Christianity based on this one area, then shouldn't this church actually demonstrate that moral superiority better? Without even dwelling on the abysmal child sexual abuses of the past BY clergy and the cover-ups, stonewalling and perjury by the hierarchy, explain how the "contraception" rules are intrinsically different when the "rhythm method" and "natural family planning" are recommended for married couples to avoid conception? The result is basically the same whether a couple uses NFP or a condom. All the Catholic Church is doing is piously asserting "their" way is the only way God's church should act in the area of what a husband and wife do in the planning of their families between themselves and God. It sounds more than a little hypocritical to me.

I sincerely HOPE nobody decides to join the Catholic Church solely on the basis of this issue.

You are a "member" of the "True Church", yes?

You are a “member” of the “True Church”, yes?

You have been told this before. NFP leaves it up to God, period. All other methods seek to leave it up to man. You have been told the truth now for at least the third time (by me), If you choose to disregard it you have no one to blame but yourself.

I will pray that the Holy Spirit shows you the truth and bring you home to His Church.
