@SteveSkojec I started this weight loss journey about 6 months ago. Nothing too sophisticated, i eat significantly higher ratio of protein than carbs. Intermittent fast. Don’t eat late at least 3-4 hours before bed. Oh ya, OILS. Beware of OILS (they’re so calorie dense)
@FeserEdward This picture reminds me of a pic of my dad, except he was on a camel. I lost him this last october. Hard adjustment, as I’m sure you are fully aware of. Happy Father’s day Ed.
@SteveSkojec Is this a sloppy or dishonest post? Stop begging the question and first present evidence that V2 has contradicted prior doctrine. Thats the SSPX claim, and I’m assuming yours too.
@davidgmac9@FeserEdward On the contrary, @FeserEdward is showing that the Church is not contradicting itself on a faith and morals issue. If it were, people would be led astray and reject its authority. I assume you don’t want that, right?
@ferrumadducere@CraigOnan@BaritusCatholic Again, NFP works with the act as it actually is. Contraception redefines the act into something it’s not.
With NFP, you’re respecting the built in rhythm God designed times of fertility and times of infertility without altering the act itself with latex or hormonal changes, etc.
@ferrumadducere@CraigOnan@BaritusCatholic NFP respects what the act is, contraception changes what the act is meant to be. one approach respects the act’s natural ordering and Gods natural design (cycles of fertility/infertilty), the other intentionally breaks it
@ferrumadducere@CraigOnan@BaritusCatholic You can intend pleasure/bonding within the natural ordering that God designed (cycles of fertility). NFP respects what the act is but contraception changes what the act is meant to be.
@ferrumadducere@CraigOnan@BaritusCatholic When you use NFP, you’re doing nothing to the act. You’re just choosing not to have the act during the time your wife’s body is actually fertile. During infertile periods, the act is 100 % intact every biological power is there, nothing is blocked, nothing added, nothing broken.
