Catholics have NO Apostolic tradition they can point to that proves them right on their prohibition of ALL methods of contraception. You're wrong.

You quote the church "fathers" instead of the Apostles (AKA Apostolic traditions) which I asked for and you quote snippets where these fathers condemn sex with prostitutes - which the Apostles DID say was wrong, anyway - and one where the guy was under the mistaken early thinking that the "seed" (semen) contained a miniature human baby (they thought man "planted" his seed in the woman and the baby grew from it). You also quote a guy who thinks ANY sex between a husband and wife when it is not specifically for conceiving a child is wrong - something even Catholicism has backed away from. So, I ask again, show me where the Apostles spoke against all contraception. What some of the Catholic-approved fathers thought at the time doesn't count as Divinely inspired.

Many good, thoughtful points throughout this topic. These low-Scripture-information types obviously are soon run to the boards and run out of excuses. Keep it up. Stay on point.
