“contraception”
THAT makes a bad Catholic? Well, then, the author had better be prepared to label 99.9% of all Catholics as bad. My wife is Catholic and used contraception. So did her sisters and every female family member. I have never met a Catholic woman that didn’t.
Birds of a feather flock together. Hang out with actual Catholics.
You've personally met all Catholic women?
My wife and I NEVER have. Nice to meet you.
The number is 100%.
That's what we mean when we say, right out loud where others can hear us,
We have all fallen short of moral good; that only heightens the need for repentance.
Just as some of the most effective and convincing people in the prolife movement are post-abortive women, some of the most convincing people in the the --- call it Sexual Restoration --- movement are post-contraceptive women. We make up the growing cadre who used the barriers, the endocrine disruptors, the jellies & jams, foams and sprays, the coils and patches, implantables and injectables, realized what a crock it all is, and finally said "Goodbye to All That."
The trouble with Melinda Gates and many like her, is not that she is morally depraved (not knowingly), but that she is --- as yet --- so ignorant.
She could have gotten a clue early on, had she read "Humanae Vitae" 45 years ago --- and realized that the whole 2,000 year Christian consensus against contraception, sterilization and abortion is based on moral, psychological, and social realism.
But even without the advantage of papal teaching, it would be wonderful if she would do some serious research about the Sexual Revolution and find out what the negatives are of contraception. Why? Because contraception is the necessary and sufficient cause, the #1 enabling technology and ideology of the Sexual Revolution.
And I mean soul-destroying, marriage-destroying and civilization-destroying negatives. There are nations that will nor survive it.
Catholic women using contraception are CINO’s catholic in name only. If they think they are anything else they are mistaken and are risking losing heaven. Every single one of them needs a serious wake up call from the Lord God Almighty Himself, because at this point that is what it will take to get through their denial. BTW you have officially met a Catholic woman not using contraception. All it takes is faith in God. Been married 18 years. I have one child here on earth and 3 in heaven. I had to come to terms with the fact that God is in control cuz I sure would have loved to have all 4 of my kids here with me. Birth control is a delusion.
