Are you serious? Do you really mean to start a fight with the Orthodox freepers by posting two articles and telling me to refute them...? No... I won’t. I also won’t post articles quoting Catholic hierarchy and using them to make broad sweeping declarations about what the Roman Catholic Church has “caved” to. I have too much respect for my Catholic brethren (that’s you) who are faithful to our common Holy tradition to do so... So please doctor extend us that same respect.
Honestly yes, I was serious. I was left with the impression from prior exchanges with Orthodox FReepers that yes, indeed, the majority of Orthodox bodies now condone contraception, at least barrier methods. I have been hoping that was not the case but if you’re not willing to point me to evidence to the contrary, I don’t know how I can be disabused of this notion if indeed it is false if the only Orthodox I’ve run across on this forum who insists it is false is unwilling to provide some assistance in substantiating that assertion.
