I agree. There is undoubtedly a feminizing agent in today’s young men which is causing this marked difference. I don’t know if it is behavioral, psychological or chemical, but males don’t look like men anymore.

"Revised"? You may have been misinformed.

The Catholic Church has never had a doctrine or dogma against having marital intercourse at times of natural infertility, e.g. during the infertile periods of the female cycle, during pregnancy, during the post-lactation anovulatory period, after menopause, or when one or both of the married couple are naturally infertile.

Yes, I remember the Yaz commercials and those who bought into their ridiculous advertising. Remember GARDASIL, the first vaccine against human papillomavirus, or HPV (spread through sexual intercourse), which causes cervical cancer? Kids who barely understood the process of sexual intercourse were subjected by their parents to receive a vaccine, regardless that many may not have understood its purpose. The vaccine requires three doses to ensure the virus is fully introduced to the immune system. If one stage is not completed, the series must start over. Over 15,000 girls have reported side effects from Gardasil including paralysis which can last years or even be permanent, as well as lupus, seizures, blood clots and brain inflammation. Moreover, 44 deaths are attributed to the vaccine. If the HPV vaccine does not prove to be effective for more than 15 years, it will mark the failure of the most costly public health experiment in cancer control.

All of this is preventable!

BTW does anyone know if talking to the TV is a problem?

Perhaps there is a vaccine for that as well. Until then, you may want to consider practicing tv celibacy ; - )

You’ll hate the source but
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_teachings_on_sexual_morality

Intercourse was for procreative reasons. Various rules also forbade intercourse between sterile or older partners but no penalty was mentioned.

My experience as a school nurse is that the kids with ADD, ADHD, autism, Aspergers Syndrome, etc....if you ask mothers if they took the pill prior to that child’s birth, they all did. I took the pill (tried to) for the first 3 months after marriage, so I would not get pregnant and could get fitted for a diaphragm, but I could not tolerate the pill and vomited them every morning. SO, I got pregnant the next month. Our daughter had OCD, ADD, etc. but our boys were not afflicted with anything like that. I took nothing before they were conceived. Taking the pill is so common that people don’t think to associate it with anything. However, I always told my students in Sex. Ed. classes what the pill does and how it works, that is increases the risk of breast, uterine and cervical cancers, not to mention that the risk of STDs is greater because most women take the pill to prevent pregnancy and don’t think about STDs. The pill doesn’t prevent STDs, nor do condoms, if the truth would be told. Only prevents HIV 85% of the time, and the rest? Less than 1% protection, although the kids would NOT know that according to the ads the CDC puts out. They are lying through their teeth to these kids! We wonder why society is falling apart? Sexual sin destroys the body, soul and spirit, unlike other sin. We are seeing it come to full fruition.

I see where you got your information, but your mistake here is that sources like penitential handbooks and feminist ex-Catholics are not the same as magisterial teachings.(And I can hardly blame you, since it can be confusing.)

The penitentials were guidelines for confessors to assess the severity of a sin and to find the proper corrective penance to be given. They varied in different times and places, depening on who issued them: it could have been the abbot of a monastery, or a bishop. or a local synod: it was not "defined doctrine."

Some of these would raise your eyebrows clear past your hairline today: the Irish penitentials of the medieval period were particularly severe, and very much expressed the "ethic of the day" --- but this was not simply another name for the de fide "doctrine of the Church."

Many of the ethical values found in the penitentials come down to 3 considerations:

For instance, since a woman who is still experiencing bleeding and discharges in the weeks after childbirth may likely be exhausted as well as vulnerable to infection, a demand by the husband for intercourse would be interpreted as his excessive appetite for sex when his wife still needed to recuperate.

It was likewise thought that intercourse during pregnancy could lead to miscarriage (as we now know it can, but nowadays rather rarely: for instance if the wife suffers from cervical incompetence)--- therefore, the confessors sought to protect wives from selfish and inconsiderate demands from their husbands.

However the begetting of children also entails the long-term duties of raising those children, and the Church also saw the maintaining of marital satisfaction as a way to keep husbands and wives together and faithful in view of their long-term bonding and their responsibilities. So the "unitive" aspect of sexuality also was respected from the very beginning, and of course pleasure is a unique element of this pair-bonding.

Looking through the history, you can see these values --- unitive and procreative --- becoming more clearly understood and receiving various accents of greater or lesser pastoral emphasis, even to the present day.

None of this indicates that it was a "dogma" of the church that infertile married people should not have intercourse.

I noticed that the only source Wikipedia had for Catholicism in the medieval period was one woman: Uta Ranke-Heinemann (LINK), who is an excommunicated former Catholic, who labels herself a feminist who has "departed from Christianity." She denies most of the doctrines of the Catholic faith: the authority of the Bible, the existence of the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, the redemptive value of His death on the cross, etc.

I would not consider her an authoritative interpreter of Catholicism, and rather wonder that the Wiki authors chose her as their principal source on the medieval period.

Wow, I did not know that about GARDASIL. Of course I don't have kids. If I did I would not allow her to have that vaccine. I admire the teaching of abstinence and courting.

I would not like a vaccine for talking to the TV, but celibacy might be the best way to go. :)

God bless you, Shery, for delivering the truth to your students! I grew up in the 50s and 60s. I don't recall any of these problems with other children. Breast cancer? The major fundraisers back then were MS and the March of Dimes. Today, breast cancer is right up there at the top. What changed? It doesn't take rocket science to recognize that once the pill became acceptable and was widely distributed, the dynamics changed. It is the same with AIDS. The emphasis is improperly placed on finding a cure rather than focusing on prevention.

Beginning early in the day, tv viewers are subjected to a plethora of advertisements from pharmaceutical companies promoting their sexual enhancement products. Not surprisingly, these are interspersed with other advertisements from law firms, addressing the rights of consumers on failed products. Sex has become a parlor game rather than a means to reproduction.

You are referring to Dr. Lanfranchi, who heads up the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute, and has been outspoken about the health risks associated with the use of contraceptives, such as blood clots, cancer, lethal injection, and violent death. The "lethal" injection she is referring to is Depo-Provera, an injectable contraceptive that prevents pregnancy for up to 3 months with each injection.

According to their web site:

Who should not use Depo-Provera?
Women who have any of the following should not use Depo-Provera: liver disease, a history of blood clots (phlebitis) or stroke, vaginal bleeding without a known reason, cancer of the breast or reproductive organs, known or suspected pregnancy, or allergy to the drug in Depo-Provera.

Violent death has resulted from another contraceptive, Lybrel, which suppresses a woman's menstrual cycle to 3 times per year.

It’s the same with the kids I tutor. They talk about ‘when I am at my dad’s house, my bedroom there...’ or ‘my birthday at my dad’s.’ Also — ‘I am going to have a new baby brother.” “Oh, your mom is pregnant?” “No, my dad’s new wife.’ And “then we fly to the islands where my dad and his girlfriend are getting married - on MY birthday’ (one said).

These kids are way too young to have to negotiate these shoals/ caused by selfish adult adolescents. I’m starting to think that some of the kids that are on meds are just acting out their anger at dad moving out, etc. One little girl’s eval said, “When asked to complete the sentence, ‘What I am most afraid of ...’ she put, ‘that my mom and dad will never stop fighting.’” She is 5, flunked Kindergarten!!! On meds!!
