To: little jeremiah; Dr. Brian Kopp
The analogies fail. The only real justification that holds water is that the Pope says NFP is OK for Catholics, and therefore it is.

In the other, no act is performed (simple abstinence during fertile times) so there IS no act, therefore the practice is morally neutral.

I spend money every day: to support my family, pay my taxes, give to charities, etc. Suppose in the future, I choose to abstain from spending on any charity. Is this action morally neutral because no act is performed?

Still rolling around a rebuttal to an abstract analogy that compares sex and vomiting... See the first paragraph of my first comment.

Instead, I think I'll log off, go home, light a fire and enjoy my family.
