the so called rhythm method is in reality another form of contraception

Any intentional and planned act that prevents contraception in a conjugal relationionship contraception. It takes a special mind to deny this.

But that is how the Catholic Church approaches the isse of divorce as well -- a denial. Officially, there is no divorce, but there is "annullment" -- the Church says that the marriage never took place (in a sense that it was an invalid Sacramanet). But, there is no limit to the number of annullments! The Orthodox Church, on the other hand, recognizes that we are human and fallible, and will grants us two chances to marry and divorce and no more.

Sorry. You're still wrong. NFP is apples and oranges compared to using condoms, IUDs, pills, etc.

In the former, all you are doing is having completely natural sex at a time when a woman is least fertile, with the knowledge that a pregnancy is still possible and welcome. In the latter, you're using some artifical means to prevent the act of sex from being completed (stopping the sperm from getting inside the woman's body, killing the sperm once they're in, fooling the woman's body into thinking it's already pregnant).

NFP sex is no different than regular sex, as condoned by the Church.

(Genuine curiosity. Thought that it was up to an outside maximum of Four chances in the case of Laymen, but only Once in the case of a Priest -- "husband of one wife", etc).
