There IS a difference between legal and illegal immigration, and I made it plain that I am hammer-and-tongs against illegal, my position being full enforcement and no amnesty.
I also made it clear that there are considerations that have to be made to restrict legal immigration; I actually listed them in that same paragraph.
Again, thank you for reading paragraphs, and have a nice day.
LOL, Yep, I was reading it correctly.
Excellent comments.
Just having some fun. I probably should not have jumped in on this conversation. But you catholics do seem to like really large families.
Pure selfishness.
We live in ehte Age of Selfishness.
Catholic women are not immune to the siren call of narcissism.
Me, too!
The whole lemon?

Why do so many Catholics finger point to justify Catholic failings when they are exposed?
NFP is Church sanctioned contraception just as annulment is church sanctioned divorce.
Preventing conception is preventing conception regardless of how it's labeled.
On what planet?
In exactly how many families do parents discuss the details of their sex lives with their children?
In how many families to children *see* their parents using birth control?
How would a child know whether or not it's being used?
In a big family, yeah, you could assume not. But a smaller family proves nothing. Some women don't get pregnant easily or often. It's wrong to presume that a small family by default means contraceptive use.
Absolutely, which is why the hypocrisy of supporting NFP over other forms of barrier methods of contraception is so amusing to watch. The contortions Catholic go through to condemn sex without risk of pregnancy when it's barrier and to defend sex without the risk of pregnancy when it's NFP is breathtaking.
God blessed Adam and Eve and blessed the one flesh union before any mention of children.
Sex is for far more in a marriage than simply procreation, but as is typical for the Catholic church, they have issues with sex.
Baloney because NFP is not about sex it's about avoiding pregnancy.
The entire focus of it is on pregnancy, not the sex act itself.
Then NFP is the same thing as the point of it is to avoid pregnancy, to enjoy sex without the risk of conception.
It's called *hypocrisy*.
Depending on one’s point of view regarding matters, so-called NFP is, at the least, a venial sin because it still involves acting with so-called “contraceptive intent,” the intent to frustrate the point of intercourse, namely, children.
On the contrary. It is not at all wrong to enjoy sex without the risk of conception. We women do this three weeks out of every month; and when we are pregnant; and when we are enjoying (yes, enjoying) our lactational anovulatory rest, and enjoying (yes, enjoying) postmonopausal infertility.
Surely you don't think it's wrong to enjoy sex without the risk of conception, do you?
And by doing so -- which is not wrong in itself --- a couple can responsibly space their pregnancies, especially when there is a serious reason for doing so.
Let me ask you this: do you think a woman who faces severe medical complications -- for instance--- should feel obliged to engage in sex precisely in her fertile phase, just because her husband wants it?
Just as an example: remember Andrea Yates, the mother who, while undergoing psychotic episodes, heard voices telling he to kill her children, who was in fact diagnosed as suffering psychotic schizophrenia, and been repeatedly hospitalized for it, and was prescribed antipsychotic medications, the one who ended up drowning her five children in the bathtub --- that Andrea Yates --- should have been repeatedly impregnated by her dear husband Rusty, who knew all that and yet insisted on having intercourse whenever he wanted?
What kind of husband would not abstain a little, to protect his wife's and his family's health?
No, actually God designed the female cycles to alternate times of fertility with (lots of) times of infertility. Having intercourse accordingly, to responsibly achieve or avoid pregnancy, is protecting health and family well-being while gratefully cooperating with God's design.
Charging "hypocrisy" is making a rash judgment of unworthy motive or evil method, which is not something you have established, or can establish.
What an idiot.
Next time, read the thread first, before spouting such a collection of idiotic things.
I have to hand it to you, for taking on such a collection of weirdo, bad intentioned, know nothings -
Hopefully, all your good information will be helpful to the good-intentioned and knowledge seekers.
Best Wishes
” It’s called *hypocrisy*. “
It looks to me like the *hypocrisy* belongs to you. You cant be that dumb. Or ~ ~ ~
Ahh yes, holier-than-thou from the purity squad.
