Yes, and this is fertile field for the enemy, seems one of his special preoccupations. I believe St. Terea's experience was real and from above.
I'm glad we had a meeting of the minds over it. I throw things out that that I've ruminated on for years. The bible backs it up, too, in Jesus' own words, but some won't accept it. Of couse it doesn't say anything about birth control except possibly in an oblique way.
Look, I learned some of this the hard way which is not the best way to go. I resisted hormones because something instinctively told me why mess with it if it ain't broke? Later it turns out they got new data and took them away from the very person apart from my personal physician that urged them on me.
Just because they are legal and the church allows menopausal hormones doesn't mean they are a good thing for every woman. I'm having an awful problem with these sexual stimulants. Why not just accept it as God's will and a normal part of aging?
For younger men who want to procreate, they might be all right so long as it isn't overdone.
