I think the Catholics, who are wrong on just about everything, are actually quite correct on the evils of contraception. We should support this and promote it amongst Protestants. This easy access to contraception, or at least this view that contraception is “a-ok,” has contributed to a break down of the family and of society as a whole. It isn’t the ONLY cause, but it’s one of many.

I’m Baptist. I’ve NEVER heard a baptist church encouraging contraceptives for singles. Not saying they don’t exist, but I’ve never heard of it in 40 years...

I probably would have agreed with you 10 or more years ago when I was ignorant of Catholic Theology (and narcissistic and filled with hubris)-—but with intense study and now with much humility—I realize the absolute brilliance of Catholic Theology. Not only with the Pope’s encyclicals of today-—the most solidly intellectual thinking in today’s world, but in the content of the early Church Fathers and those in the Scholastic period and beyond.

There is very little—if anything-—more profound, or brilliant than Catholic Theology. Every thing they predicted-—happened. They knew the Protestant religions were committing suicide with their irrational thinking and ignorance and outright rejection of Natural Law Theory.

You see, Catholic Theology—much like the brilliant Founding Documents of the USA—was based on Natural Law Theory—which is the origins of Common Sense. Now Catholics also have Revelation-—but in their Wisdom—they know that God’s Creation was designed to work in teleological ways which create harmony and happiness, so St. Thomas Aquinas aligned Catholic Theology with Natural Laws. It is why Christianity is the most rational of all religions.

In addition to her unchanging teachings on artificial contraception and abortion, the Catholic Church also gave the world the list of "Books" to be included in the New Testament, the same list which all Protestants use too.    (The list of books to include was not specified anywhere within Scripture itself.)    Was the Catholic Church right about that too?

The Catholic Church also gave the world the doctrine of the "Trinity".    Were they right about that?

I’ll stick with the sure word of the Bible, thank you very much. The words and traditions of men often fail us.    (post 17)

Then do you agree or disagree with this text from the Bible?

So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter. - (2 Thessalonians 2:15)
