Ok then. What about this? Is the church willing too carry this passage out to it's fullest by ordering a single man including a Priest to marry his deceased brothers widow? The man died because he specifically refused to do what GOD told him to do which was marry and make pregnant his brothers widowed wife who did not have a male child. It was under the Law of Moses. No church today follows that law not even the RCC as far as I know. Laws we could not endure and for such we were sent a Savior. Think about it.
How many Catholic males and females in here would carry that out should their spouses childless sibling die. BTW the so called natural methods do nothing but avoid pregnancy. It is simply another method of birth control. Nothing more nothing less.
Do I believe in birth control? Yes. As long as it is a safe method not placing a woman in medical danger. The article in question seems to indicate there is a sizable risk.
Also it simply is not medically wise for some woman to get pregnant to start with because it can kill her and the maybe likely not make it to term. The safest thing to do IMO? Man up and see Dr Snip. But the verse from which birth control prohibition came from in some churches has had it's context twisted to the point of manipulation of the masses. If GOD tells you marry your brothers widow and have a child then do it. That was the lesson.
I suppose if you were single and lost your brother, it might be good to marry his widow. At least you have a good idea of what type of person she is. If you were already married, that would be polygamy which the Catholic Church, and US law forbids.
If your brother’s widow attacks you, I would not hesitate.
