It’s a simple question Dutchboy.

Do you, or do you not support contraception?

Why is that relevant? Roman Catholics **practice** contraception (e.g., Natural Family Planning). In theory, they aren’t supposed to use NFP to prevent pregnancy, but in reality they do.

So whether people support contraception is kinda irrelevant in this conversation, no, since Roman Catholics and Protestants differ very little in practice?

That said, some of what JPII wrote on this topic in his Theology of the Body is very insightful. Too often we (both RCs and Protestants) forget that children are a gift ...

"Do you, or do you not support contraception?"

Can you help me find the passage that makes this an important question? And, I'm still waiting on the donut question.
