This whole thing is actually heartbreaking. Imagine a recent convert-mom with teenage kids reading through this after seeing Popcak on EWTN or hearing him on the radio. She stumbles upon this passage:

"You will have to decide whether having boys record their sister's or mother's temperatures is an option for your family, but as long as the person whose chart it is (the mother or sister) is not terribly opposed to the idea (you really have to respect her opinion on this), I feel favorably toward the idea because it decreases the chances that your young teens will eroticize their sexuality."

The poor woman is liable to think that this craziness actually represents Catholicism. You will have to decide whether having boys record their sister's or mother's temperatures is an option for your family... Popcak actually makes it sound as if it is an issue all Catholic families address.

"Well, Martha, Patrick turns 14 this year. Do you think we should have him chart Margaret this year?"

This is NOT a conversation Catholic families I know HAVE EVER HAD. This bizzarre S*** will scare potential converts off permanently.

This guy is nuts. Nuts. Like you., i read it to my wife and she said "creepy." If this guys was just a DRE in Toledo, we could ignore it. But he is on EWTN and constantly engaged in self-promotion. Scary.

No, Diago, what's HEART BREAKING is nearly half of the Catholics who receive Our Lord in Holy Communion are C-O-N-T-R-A-C-E-P-T-I-N-G!!!!

If you want to go back to a key slippery slope in our history, the Episcopalian conference (forgot the name of it) in 1928-29 that decided contraception was okay in extreme circumstances was the beginning of what we have today. Up until that point, every Christian denomination had condemned ANY form of birth control as Onanism. So, while all the Christians were being "good, modest and upright", by not going into all the gory details, their children and grandchildren were learning all about contracepting from the enemies of life.
