I would never paint protestants with a broad brush. I will paint the underlying principles of protestantism, namely, sola scriptura, rejection of the authority Christ ordained for His Church, and private interpretation of scripture, as being the roots from which sprung the apostacy of protestantism on contraception, and the cultural embrace of the contraceptive mentality, and thus of legalized abortion, and the failure to effectively fight homosexuality.

Thank you very much for that explanation. I deeply appreciate your taking time to respond so clearly to my question.
Isn't the only sola we should embrace Soli Deo gloriam!

I want to be sure I understand from you post. Forgive me if I'm a bit slow on this. It is a very serious subject. If I read you right then the contraceptive mentality has rendered Christian denominations incapable of speaking morally on any aspect of sexuality. And if they have no moral authority in sexuality, they lose moral authority in other areas of human life. So it is like dominos so that all that is left is an inward focused church incapable of speaking to society, obsessed with internal matters, and failing to reach out beyond itself.
Am I off track? putting words in your mouth? Please advise!
