Very interesting. I appreciate the language used in describing why contraception is contrary to God's supremacy in the matters of life and death.

If only more people understood this. It's another way - and a very important way - of letting God "be God", of giving up trying to usurp His position of Lordship.

The culture in general has accepted that the use of contraceptives is standard normalcy, and all this does is degrade womanhood, manhood, motherhood, fatherhood, and the value of children. It has caused broken families, illegitimacy, turned girls into sluts and boys into exploiters. Sex without the touch of the divine is merely mutual masturbation techniques, and since by its very nature cannot satisfy the longing of the soul, has to be continually "spiced up" with every degradation and perversion people can think up. And that's called "freedom". Very sad.

That is one reason why I have a great deal of respect for sincere Catholics and the fact that the Catholic Church hasn't (and I pray it won't) budge on this important moral absolute.

Precisely!

It has caused broken families, illegitimacy, turned girls into sluts and boys into exploiters. Sex without the touch of the divine is merely mutual masturbation techniques, and since by its very nature cannot satisfy the longing of the soul, has to be continually "spiced up" with every degradation and perversion people can think up.

Well said.
