Whatever...you don't seem to accept the common theological opinions regarding Natural Family Planning, so I'm obviously not going to be able to convince you.
I'm not a great fan of NFP, as I do believe it can be misused. But it is not inherently bad as you seem to be claiming.
I didn't see the interview, so I don't know exactly what happened. But, Fr. is right in what he says in his column. Sean is simply wrong about artificial birth control, and I hope he eventually realizes that.
"common theological opinions"? what the heck is that? Is it similar to the common scientific opinions on Global Warming ala. Algore?
Has the Pope spoken "ex cathedra" on "Natural Family Planning" as a system ? uh, NO. So it is all opinion isn't it.
FATHER is a coward. He doesn't need to waste ink on the likes of Sean Hannity until he's covered the vast myriad of overtly pagan, syncretist, blaspheming so-called catholics in the public square like Kennedy-Durbin-Leahy-Kerry-Matthews-Begala- ad infinitum..... We don't need a column warning us about Sean Hannity's so called inconsistency on birth control from a COWARD that proposes so-called "Natural Family Planning" that has a GOAL OF THE SAME RESULT as the mechanical supported means.
