When you post on this forum, claiming to be an ordained deacon of the Diocese of Fort Worth, you are publicly teaching, in the capacity of an ordained minister, in the name of your bishop.

No, I'm not. Contraception is contrary to the teaching of the Church. It doesn't matter whether I agree with it or not.

I don't practice contraception, don't teach it, and don't advocate it.

Nothing could be clearer.

[St. Johann Tetzel]

don't teach it

Yes, you do, publicly, while claiming to be an ordained clergy member of the Diocese of Fort Worth, when you continue to draw a moral equivalency between barrier methods and NFP.

[St. Johann Tetzel]

Nothing could be clearer.

Actually, yes it could.

You repeatedly draw a moral equivalency between barrier methods and NFP.

Do you now repudiate that publicly expressed opinion? Do you now publicly state that barrier methods and all artificial methods of contraception are inherently evil, and that there is no moral equivalence between NFP and barrier methods, and that while barrier method use is intrinsically sinful, NFP is not?

Until you state this, it is only perfectly clear that you are a publicly dissenting (and, since it is a grave matter of morals, therefore mortally sinning) AmChurch "deacon."
