Much like a politician, you've found your talking point and are pushing it to the hilt throughout this thread. I don't know how anyone can equate using artificial contraceptives like the pill or condoms can equate to NFP. In the former, the act of sex is prevented from being completed naturally. In the latter, it is not, though the probability of impregnation is minimized (though not eliminated).

And I think you criticize the Catholic view because the Orthodox view is not entirely defensible.
