Sure.
And the Russians got to the moon first, too.
Until the 1920s or 30s, all Christian denominations believed that contraception was evil. Then the Episcopal church voted to allow contraception and the floodgate opened.
I did my master’s thesis on this point 20 years ago. The SCOTUS supported the birth control lobby at every turn, from 1964 onward. The irony is that the proliferation of artificial contraception has done nothing to stop the rate of unwanted pregnancy; all it has done is foster the illusion that society will “make every child a wanted child.” Before, even the unwanted pregnancies often resulted in the formation of a family with a father and a mother in the home. Now, unwanted pregnancies most often result either in abortion or an impoverished single-parent upbringing and accompanying pathologies. Progress?
And now the LGBT crowd wants control of sex education in the public schools.
The stated goal is to discard what they call “binary” or “heteronormative” distinctions. They demand that any notion that there are two sexes, male and female, must be thrown out.
Building on that, they demand sex education classes must disallow any focus on the connection between the sex act and procreation, and focus instead on the “varieties of sexual expression.”
Back in the olden days, when I was in school, boys and girls were separated to minimize embarrassment during sex ed.
Then we watched a film showing a sperm swimming into an ovum, and the cells dividing and multiplying and becoming a tiny fetus. Then we watched the baby develop thru the stages of gestation, and then the child being born. We saw everything, as it is in life.
We even had a plastic model of a pregnant lady. You could swing the front of her belly open and see the plastic baby inside.
The LGBT agenda demands this information must be withheld, replaced by lessons on oral and anal, B&D and S&M.
In. The. Public. Schools.
Planned Parenthood fights tooth and nail to prevent women from viewing sonograms, because when they do, they choose life.
Lambeth Conference. First the Anglicans caved then the rest followed.
Then I have some protestant at a Crisis Pregnancy Center here in Charleston, tearing my head off because I refuse to donate pregnancy books that talk about contraception. I’m told that I want “women to just push out babies every 9 months that they can’t afford” Yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep. Yet she she’s “pro life”.
God will provide for big families.
It's good that Protestant theologians are starting to come around.
It’s a war on Nature and Nature’s God.
I didn’t think most would get it.
Kind of like the old chicken/egg conundrum - which came first, the tools that make it easier for society to go downhill or did society go downhill and drive the desire for the tools.
It's all in His Plan for us - He has spoken and just as His promise of Christ the Savior came true, His edict that we will slide into the depths of the sewers before He comes back to set things right will ensue.

Growing up, the two churches where families of more than two children were common were the LCMS and the Catholics.
As an adult, I have often wondered why the LCMS was that way.
The author is right. Once sex becomes just about fun, marriage doesn’t seem that strong of a bond.
The people of Sodom disagree.
I’m not Catholic, as you may know, but I agree with you. Birth control is sinful, when it is artificial.
So did some of us evangelicals.
Unfortunately for Christians of any kind, too many of them either do not know, or fail to apply in their lives, the commands of God.
I know that I have failed on many occasions to keep
God’s word in my own life, but at least I don’t try to petend it wasn’t wrong.
Actually, it started with all those GIs returning home from WW2 having been exposed to European morays.
Yeah, damn all those foreign eels...
Hey! Moray is in Scotland, but I think there’s only one.
...'igh 'eels too!
The Soviets crashed an unmanned spacecraft on the moon. America put men on the moon. So...Catholic teaching on BC is unmanned? I assume you’re dissing NFP somehow, but either way whatever analogy you’re trying to draw is so convoluted, it’s no surprise that “most don’t get it.”
