Catholics insist upon both procreative and unitive aspects in each sexual act, while others would seem to find the procreative aspect optional, or optional at times anyway.
This is a true difference between us.
It is baloney statements such as this that I jump all over you for. You do not speak for the Catholics on this issue.
You speak for, at the most, a small group of Catholics.

Reggie, as you know, no one speaks for all members of their Church (except you, as you are "a non denominational denomination of one") - Dave was explaining the Church's teaching on this subject. The number of adherents to the practice has nothing to do with the Church's teaching of NFP.
