Where is the discussion among Protestant Freepers on this thread? The silence is deafening ((((((((((*))))))))))
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
You've not been reading any of the other threads on this subject? Seeing that you posted your sarcasm on Saturday, January 11, 2014 1:04:19 AM, I'd say be patient. It will come.
Catholics are amazing sometimes. They are utterly mystified when different religions do not share their thinking and worries on every issue.
They really cannot grasp the concept of “not catholic”, and yet fully, happily, Christian.
And no, birth control does not always mean fornication. Many Christian married couples are happy to plan their family size and timing with contraception.
And last, Catholics are very hypocritical on the issue of birth control. What is Natural family planning” Well it’s a method to try to have sex and ***avoid pregnancy*** as much as possible. Hello??? Is this supposed to trick God?
But that Catholic belief is fine and I don’t begrudge followers of that Christian faith from observing it. Protestants are not always peeking in and analyzing the Catholic teaching and belief on the issue. Why are you so obsessed with the protestant viewpoint?
It makes us feel like the hot girl in school. You have our photo all over your walls, know our class schedule, and spy on us with binoculars,,,,, and we really don’t even know your name. It’s kinda weird.
RCs even think JWs are Prots, though they operate more according to the RC sola ecclesia model for authority, but its a bit early yet, and if it were not for evangelical types most RCs threads would never make it past 12 comments.
As re this, while being much more conservative overall than Catholics, evangelicals did miss it on this one, partly because the link btwn abortion was and still is little known.
Apart from that, I believe self control is the means by which reproduction is controlled, and not by synthetic means. And if married, conservative Christians should be the ones with the largest families. The use of the Pill has had an unseen by profound effect on society, besides conservatives costing elections.
HUH?
A thread is started at 11:06pm and at 1:00am you are accusing Protestants of being absent on a subject?
Can’t speak for other churches, but I will say the following:
-Reformed families are against chemical contraception
-I have had countless Roman Catholic women come into my office asking for oral contraceptives. These are not Christmas Catholics. They are all active in their local house of worship.
-I don’t prescribe oral contraceptives
Any religion that calls a mere man Holy Father has no business commenting on anything biblical...The Holy Father is God and they can't tell the difference between a man and God...
Peter would have puked all over every one of of them that called him Holy Father...
The least of what you should be worrying about is what Protestants do or don't do...
