Catholic Relief Services dispensed millions of condoms, abortifacients in the Congo: new

Both artificial contraception and abortion are mortal sins. I don’t quite understand your point.

[HiTech RedNeck]

What is needed is an honestly Christian belief system, that can make good use of God’s grace to transcend poverty. But if someone won’t believe it’s there, he or she can’t use it.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Far better to exercise the power to decide when and whether to become pregnant by using a moral and healthy method like Natural Family Planning (NFP). Advantages of NFP over condoms:

• more effective than condoms (NFP 98%, condoms 85% at best -- both only when used correctly and consistently)
• more respectful of sex as a unitive act
• more conducive to male/female cooperation (method's effectiveness is based on husband/wife cooperation)
• highly more conducive to marital communication
• costs absolutely nothing
• does not violate marital privacy (nobody has to know if your are "accepting" or "not accepting" this form of family planning)
• morally acceptable to all religions
• can be used to achieve as well as to postpone pregnancy
• cannot be used coercively by the State.

Can't get any better than that.

Condoms, on the other hand, encourage promiscuity rather than comprehensive husband/wife communication, cooperation, and mutual respect. Condoms foster vice (sex with anyone, anytime) rather than virtue (wise and loving self-control). Condoms foster an attitude of working against the body, rather than working with the body.

That last one has profound implications because it condoms,m being basically sabotage against human sexual design, lays a profound attitudinal groundwork for abortion.

Don't take my word for it. Check out the history. Condoms have never reliably enough prevented pregnancy (would you use a parachute that was only 85% reliable??) but very effectively habituates people to the sluttification of sex and contempt for its natural consequences.

[HiTech RedNeck]

“Condoms” are wrong for other reasons than the (false) charge of being abortifacients.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Sluttification... with one or two t’s (slutification) but still it’s separating sex from family considerations.

What is needed in the Congo is evangelism, not excuses.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Thanks.

[HiTech RedNeck]

If I were to play the part of a “Christian Sigmund Freud” here, I would pin warped sex addictions on what the bible calls the boastful pride of life.

Look at what a sex pot he (or she) is... without consideration as to what it might ultimately mean.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Disordered sex connected to "pride of life" --- very interesting.

Sex that doesn't profoundly unite, ultimately divides. Sex that isn't connected to what sex ultimately means (marital union, belonging to each other exclusively, respecting each others' bodies, childbearing) ends up tearing people apart.

Compare divorce rates of condom-couple vs NFP couples. No question. Condoms make for minimal connection on many levels. They were designed, historically, for use with prostitutes.

BTW, I think you're right about "slutification" having only one "t". My spelllling has always been a littttle dicey.

[NorthMountain]

Dictionary dot com would seem to support the use of two "t"s in "sluttification".

They offer "sluttish", "sluttishly" and "sluttishness" as variants of the base word.

[Mrs. Don-o]

You may be right. I didn't go to a dictionary, I just googled "slut(t)ification" with both spellings, found roughly 3x more results with one "t" than with two.

So I suppose it's down to whether you think orthography should be descriptive or prescriptive.

To pour equal opprobrium on the unchaste gents, I suppose it could be called the "horn-doggification" of sex.

[NorthMountain]

A project I worked on involved a piece of embedded software that intercepted commands from one electronic device, translated them into a different command language, and passed them on to another electronic device. Translation went in both directions. We called it the System Link Universal Translator (SLUT). Early implementations worked poorly; we got to complain about that < expletive > SLUT crashing again. Or going down on us. Or something.

What is needed is an honestly Christian belief system, that can make good use of God’s grace to transcend poverty.

We already have one and it's the only One that Jesus Christ established: the Catholic Church. And Jesus Christ, Himself, said the poor will always be amongst us.

This socialist talk, of "transcending poverty" is getting tiresome, whether it's from Bergoglio, Obama, Hillary on down.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Yeah, it's always the women get blamed & shamed.
