This is for all you struggling parents, burdened with too many children, who have not enough money or time, and who feel your internal resources are increasingly inadequate to deal with your many daily responsibilities. In other words, this is for those of you who are going quite mad trying to be good mothers and fathers.
"Contraception contradicts the full truth of the sexual act as the proper expression of conjugal love." -- Pope John Paul II
Isn't it wonderful when a celibate priest who's older than the hills, who's never had children, who has no money problems, who has servants to meet his every demand, tells you that if you are to have sex properly, you must risk pregnancy?
Why would he say something so inane or insane? Can you find anything in the Gospels of the New Testament where Jesus the Jew speaks of "the full truth of the sexual act," or forbids his followers to use contraceptive measures?
It's all so silly. And what is "the full truth of the sexual act"? Orgasm? If so, any sexually active person knows the "full truth of the sexual act" is much more likely to be realized when contraceptive measures are in place!
Maybe by 2108, the Roman Church will have arrived in the 21st century! But don't count on it!
