[Conservative til I die]

Perhaps the light bulb will go on when you read Pope Pius XII's beautiful "Address to Large Families." Given in 1958, the final year of his pontificate, it contains not even a whiff of legalistic hair-splitting. Instead it describes in beatifully poetic language the joys of obeying God's law by "being fruitful and multiplying and filling the earth."

The Catholic Church has endorsed NFP. Do you take issue with the Church on this? Or is only Pius's teaching legitimate because it took place before the dreaded V2?

[Maximilian]

The Catholic Church has endorsed NFP.

Pope Pius XII authoritatively taught that "engaging in sexual intercourse while avoiding the will to fecundity without a sufficiently grave reason is a sin against the very nature of married life." Do you object to the Church's teaching on this issue because it took place before "V2"?
