This reminds me of another problematic aspect of NFP -- it deliberately acts to destroy the qualities of modesty and delicacy. Not long ago a famous NFP promoter was recommending that teenage brothers and sisters chart together.
Awareness of your own fertility levels can't be a bad thing - how you use the knowledge might.
Remember that Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Knowledge is not always a good thing, and it nearly always brings temptation with it.
Dear Maximilian,
"Not long ago a famous NFP promoter was recommending that teenage brothers and sisters chart together."
Now, that isn't exactly the case, as I recall, and you're failing to provide any context, as well.
The gentleman in question went out of his way to state that he did NOT endorse the idea, but rather that he knew of a family where this had been done, and that he could not say that it was an inherently bad thing. Nonetheless, he specifically and explicitly refused to endorse the practice.
I know because I personally e-mailed the gentleman and had a correspondence about it with him.
However, even that's only half the story.
The other half is that every single poster here at FreeRepublic, without exception, including every Catholic who thinks NFP is a good thing, thought that even SUGGESTING this might not be inherently evil was plain old wacko.
EVERYONE found the suggestion abhorrent.
This is a poor example to show that NFP acts to destroy the qualities of modesty and delicacy.
