And I highly doubt you'll ever answer my question.
The source was a Roman Catholic one...you did see that...right??
I guess there's another Roman Catholic institution you disagree with.
I really wonder if there is anything, or anyone, in Roman Catholicism that meets your approval.
I guess if it doesn't fit into your very narrow worldview then it is wrong.
The very first commandment is:
“Be fruitful and multiply” aka “have sex and make babies”
this is not an option. it was the very first command given mankind.
Any attempt to NOT have sex, or NOT have babies and legitimize it by church policy, edict, doctrine, magisterial citation, catechism or law, is a violation of God’s prime directive.
And virtually all are guilty to some degree or another of it, if we are post pubescent... and pre-menopausal.
There may be some exceptions, but by and large... it is a unconditional command by God to man, that speaks to the plan of God for mankind.
He did NOT stutter, or change his mind.
Death impacted our capacity to continue in obedience, as a human ages... but the plan, the means and the intent of God on this matter, is clear. Crystal.
