No, it's not that 99.9% of Catholics are bad.

The number is 100%.

That's what we mean when we say, right out loud where others can hear us,

"I have gravely sinned,
In my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do,
THrough my fault, through my fault,
Through my most grievous fault."

We have all fallen short of moral good; that only heightens the need for repentance.

Just as some of the most effective and convincing people in the prolife movement are post-abortive women, some of the most convincing people in the the --- call it Sexual Restoration --- movement are post-contraceptive women. We make up the growing cadre who used the barriers, the endocrine disruptors, the jellies & jams, foams and sprays, the coils and patches, implantables and injectables, realized what a crock it all is, and finally said "Goodbye to All That."

The trouble with Melinda Gates and many like her, is not that she is morally depraved (not knowingly), but that she is --- as yet --- so ignorant.

She could have gotten a clue early on, had she read "Humanae Vitae" 45 years ago --- and realized that the whole 2,000 year Christian consensus against contraception, sterilization and abortion is based on moral, psychological, and social realism.

But even without the advantage of papal teaching, it would be wonderful if she would do some serious research about the Sexual Revolution and find out what the negatives are of contraception. Why? Because contraception is the necessary and sufficient cause, the #1 enabling technology and ideology of the Sexual Revolution.

And I mean soul-destroying, marriage-destroying and civilization-destroying negatives. There are nations that will nor survive it.

Few, even here, understand the point of your first and second sentences. They are absolutely true nonetheless.

All too few people have been as willing to place trust in their spouses but, above all, in God the Creator and His plans (which just HAVE to be better than any of ours) as you obviously have since whenever you said "Goodbye to all of that."
