why is that? What the CC dislikes is the contraceptive mentality that has hurt a lot of people.
why is that? What the CC dislikes is the contraceptive mentality that has hurt a lot of people. The contraceptive mentality cheapens the sacred union between man and woman, cheapens and degrades procreation, objectifies ones partner as a sexual object and sex as just something for sexual pleasure. It also creates a mentality that says children are a problem and nuisance and creates an animosity towards the unborn and procreation in general. An attitude that children are a nuisance and a pest to ones life that must be suppressed by using contraception.
That's why many women who get abortions have used contraception. Since they have the contraceptive mentality that children are a pest and hindrance to their lives and thus they can justify killing their own children all the more when they are pregnant.
That is why adultery and illegitimacy rates rose so significantly. As many women on contraception eventually did get pregnant and because of their mentality they became abusive towards their own children and families. It also makes people more likely to commit adultery because they don't have to worry about their mistresses getting pregnant.
... and yet, what is the largest, most focal religious proponent of contraceptive sex in all the world? What is the only denomination in all the world to teach such right there at the parish hall? It may even require such instruction for all couples (at least getting married there)?
SO ironic.

Hmm, I dont know anyone who thinks kids are pests and they have used contraception. This is a dramitization that distracts from the real life social reasons for contraception. Are there people that despise kids and go out and have affiars and one night stands, sure. But there are alot of people that benifit from contraception so they can time having a kid when they are emotionally and finanically ready for it while still being able to be intimate with their spouse/partner/etc.
It takes on average 22-23 year at a MINIMUM to get trained up in a skill that can bring in a living wage and thats if you are really smart and highly motivated. Most people cant afford what is nessicary for a kid until they are late 20's or 30 and there are alot of high sex drive years between. To suggest one shoudl be celibate until they are 30 is abusurd and your credibility will go down the toilet if you suggested it.
Sometimes its like the CC totally ignores reality. Just because there are people that do wrong things does not mean the pill is inherently sinful, its the going out and having the affiar that is sinful. This argument is like saying guns kill people instead of holding the shooter accountable.
And yet after contraception, young teenage girls had MORE unplanned and unprepared pregnancies than before. With your argument, it seems with all these young "well prepared" people who use contraception, that the illegitimacy rates and underage birth rates would be going down. Yet it is just the opposite. It seems you do not want to look at the trickle down effect contraception has caused. Just look at the stats, they don't lie.
It does not matter, guns have made it more efficient to kill people but the gun itself is not evil its the people executing the crime. Just like the pill, the pill is not evil its the actions of having affairs and abortions.
The pill has very possitive effects for thoes that use it responsibly.
Then why do couples who use contraception have a much higher rate of marital failure than those who do not? Couples who use contraception have a 50% divorce rate. Couples who abstain from contraception have only a 2% divorce rate. Could it be that couples who reject contraception are less likely to see children as a burden. Because of their generous spirit and self sacrifice. And because of that are less likely to treat their own marriages as a burden?
The mother who doesn't use contraception tends to have a generous spirit and a self sacrificing maternal nature toward her children. She views motherhood as a God given gift to her vocation as a woman. The mother who uses contraception tends to be more selfish and more centered around on her own ambitions and goals rather than the wellbeing of her children and family. The first is willing is sacrifice because of her charity, while the other will not because of worldly reasons and a centered attitude. Which woman do you think is going to be more successful in her marriage? One is humble and leaves it in God's hands, the other is stubborn and thinks she can do it all by herself for her own self.
Yea, I'm sure mustard gas and napalm are not evil by themselves either. But used they do no good for society. Contraception has done nothing good for society. Its just a product of the 60s sexual revolution like abortion and no-fault divorce that later crippled the moral backbone of society later on.

But what does that matter to most Lutherans who think contraception, divorce and abortion is ok?
I think it's more likely to be because couples who reject contraception are also likely to be religious zealots who also believe God will barbecue them until they're crispy if their marriage breaks down. If your statistic is true at all.Then why do couples who use contraception have a much higher rate of marital failure than those who do not? Couples who use contraception have a 50% divorce rate.

I think it's more likely to be because couples who reject contraception are also likely to be religious loons who also believe God will barbecue them until they're crispy if their marriage breaks down.

You too?Gishin, I'd like to sincerely thank you for linking to TV Tropes. I've wasted most of my afternoon testing the very limits of tabbed browsing. Again!
