What causes you to imagine I don't understand what is behind NFP? To claim it "leaves it up to God, PERIOD" is showing your OWN ignorance. If this method is so successful in preventing an unplanned pregnancy (which is the real reason it is promoted by your church), then explain how man's interaction in the processes is leaving it all up to God? Why not insist that a couple forget about Natural Family Planning altogether and leave it ALL up to God - which would be the logical result???

Tell me, do you ever use antibiotics when you get an infection? Do you keep some type of defensive weapon in your home in case someone breaks in and threatens your family? Why not leave THAT all up to God?

I fully understand WHY Catholics make a big deal out of this issue. It's not all that different than the big deal they make over the "Eucharist". It is all an attempt to assert superiority of rules concerning faith and morals and to presume the Roman Catholic Church - because it claims this superior position (according to it) - must be the only, true church of Jesus Christ. All the foibles, atrocities, abuses, crimes, perversion of the Gospel and demands for full and complete obedience in ALL things gets swept under the rug like some side show in a carnival.

It's quite telling the attacks coming from you people when the basic question about hypocrisy in this one area CANNOT be answered honestly. Quite telling indeed!

NFP verses other forms of birth control is simply another example of the double mindedness of Catholic teaching. It’s a carnal explanation to somehow get around what the church has added to scripture as a rule. The hypocrisy is obvious to anyone willing to be honest with themselves.

It was answered honestly. I will pray that the Holy Spirit comes into your heart and opens your eyes.
