Sorry it took me so long to get back, busy. I just don’t have the time to go in depth on all these issues and don’t know that it would do much good. We’ll just have to disagree. Maybe I misunderstood you, but I would like to ask one thing. Are you defending the use of artificial contraception or condemning it? Artificial contraception was basically universally condemned within Christianity until the Lambeth Conference in 1930. Even from olden times these drugs haven’t always prevented conception but have and still act as abortifacients, which is the killing of a newborn life already conceived. Contraception isn’t immoral because the Pope says so, but the Popes say it is so because it violates the natural law engraved on conscience.
No, which i thought i clearly stated, and have said before in other threads. And besides the more serious possibly of these being abortifacients, it likely cost conservatives the last election as well as contributed to the decline of Christians in the US. But a majority of Catholics also use them.
