Your religious beliefs may condemn it, but that is not reason enough for me not to engage in it if I wish, since I do not follow your religion.

Okay, but are my religious beliefs sufficient for you not to make snide comments implying that Catholics don't actually follow Catholic beliefs, when there are a number of living, breathing exceptions to that alleged rule right here on FR?

Near as I can tell, I have not been harmed, nor has any partner.

And if you're mistaken, your so-called "objective moral principle" just went out the window in the name of pleasure.

Many Catholics do not follow those restrictions, although you have misstated them a little. That you do follow them does not mean that all Catholics do. I never said that all Catholics disobey them. Many Catholics also use birth control, but that does not mean that all do so. I won't get into a discussion about whether they're really Catholics or not.
