Some of these quotes I have read...some are new to me.

I will be upfront and say I am struggling with this issue.

Many of these quotes will contradict current teaching in the sense that they are saying that sex is ONLY for procreation....or sex may only be performed for the intention of procreation.
For that reason..the Church's stance on NFP or the unitive/procreative elements would have gone against the Early Fathers...yes?

Also...while someone helpfully inserted the (oral contraceptive) description in some of these quotes...the truth is that some of these potions could actually have been abortive mixtures meant to induce labor.
Afterall...they didn't have EPT urine test sticks back then.
