I’ve said for a long time that the Catholic church should drop it’s ban on contraception and many U.S. Catholics disregard it. I am opposed to abortion.
We greatly value your opinion /sarc
It's not that the Catholic church has a "ban" on contraception which it could possibly "drop". It's that the Catholic Church recognizes the goodness of natural sex, and the moral wrongness of intentionally unnatural sex.
Look: Trannies make themselves sexually unnatural with hormones, devices and surgery.
Contraceptors make themselves sexually unnatural with hormones, devices and surgery.
They have a lot in common, not only in practice, but also in attitude, in that they don't like their natural sexual design as it was created: normal, healthy, and complete in every detail.
They sabotage their own sexual wholeness.
Plus: even from a pragmatic point of view: contraception does not eliminate or reduce abortions. In every society in which they have been introduced, they go up in tandem.
You honestly think The Catholic Church is going to change its value system to embrace sin because of sinners in the church? You don’t understand Catholicism!
