“FWIW, I oppose contraception.”

Good for you. It will be conducive to your faith. I understand your frustration with Catholics who do not follow the teachings of their church, but you must understand that the churches that lead their flock astray are a problem too.

I wish this were not so on both sides, but the process has been underway for a long time, before we were here.

I never said it wasn’t. And there are Catholic priests who lead their congregations astray as well. All I was doing was pointing out there are problems on both sides, whereas you seemed to be claiming that it was a Protestant problem, while the Catholics had ‘clean hands’.

Neither side has clean hands on this. Both are guilty of promoting unbiblical things.

Also, I do not support any mainline Protestant groups, I think “Churchianity” has taken too much of a hold and as an Ex-Mormon, I am not in favor of any group that puts an organization above Christ.

I am an Evangelical who doesn’t believe in denominations but rather the Church Universal - the Body of Christ which is ALL true believers in Christ.

One last thing, don’t assume that people who don’t have children practice contraception. My husband and I have two children (both deceased - miscarriage) and have been battling infertility. I am constantly amazed at how many think I don’t want kids or believe in birth control.
