No, I was distinguishing between contraception and non-contraception. Natural family planning does not contracept. The difference between it and condoms or the Pill is that they do contracept, NFP does not.

The “natural” in NFP misleads some people to think that the distinction is that one is natural and the other is not.

It’s true that the one is natural and the other is not.

But that’s secondary. The real difference is that one contras something and the other does not contra anything. The latter’s naturalness consists in not contra-ing.

NFP is NOT natural contraception whereas the Pill is artificial contraception. One is contraception and the other is not.
