Onan deliberately prevented himself from creating new life in his act.
This is a far cry from a married couple using a condom when the wife is sterile.

Summa Contra Gentiles said:[E]very emission of sperm, in such a way that generation cannot follow, is contrary to the good for man. And if this be done deliberately, it must be a sin. Now, I am speaking of a way from which, in itself, generation could not result: such would be any emission of sperm apart from the natural union of male and female. For which reason, sins of this type are called contrary to nature. But, if by accident generation cannot result from the emission of sperm, then this is not a reason for it being against nature, or a sin; as for instance, if the woman happens to be sterile.
My wife and I argued one year over who would cook and how we would cook it.
LOL, I'm still thinking "Hmm.. what should I make?" I mean I got a bunch of food, I'm just throwing stuff together out of what I bought.

B4 U laugh, I would suggest reading the full text of what the Pope actually said instead of something that is taken out of context.This truly cracks me up! So now, good Catholic male prostitutes can use condoms.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha................
Although the Mosaic Law was not written at the time, the later Mosaic Law only subjects someone who refuses to marry his brother's widow to humiliation
Onan's sin was not refusing to marry Tamar, but rather he married her and then committed an unnatural sin. He was fine with having sex with her, maybe he had always been jealous of his brother and wanted her, but he didn't want to get her pregnant so he pulled out.
His crime was spilling his seed on the ground, not disobedience.
Think about the high place of blood in the Old Testament, how precious it was as a symbol of life. How much more precious then is that which generates life? It is not to be spilled wantonly.

I would imagine Judah would have wished he wore one when he "knew" TamarThis truly cracks me up! So now, good Catholic male prostitutes can use condoms.

This would make NFP sinful.
The intention of NFP is to avoid procreation, without violating the dogma's of the Church.
The intent is the same either way.
Jim
what Fated said, NFP needs to be done as a natural thing and not as a stand-in for the PillNFP CAN be sinful.
if anything this is an argument agianst NFP then it is an argument for condoms, are you agianst NFP? this is not be being a brat and trying to trick up your words, I have heard people argue for Condoms saying the same thing and the argument never clicked with me....

When is one's intent to use NFP to be open to life? (I'm not talking about using NFP in order to conceive, because in that case it's obvious.) I have difficulty distinguishing NFP use that is open to life (not sinful) and NFP use that is not open to life (sinful because of sinful intention).Using NFP does not make it non sinful if your intent is to not be open to life.
But that's what this thread is about, it is two sins, but still, in case of promiscuity (prostitution for example) it may be even worse not to wear a condom than to wear one, because the condom can prevent the spreading of HIV.And if a person is fornicating that is one sin.
if they are fornicating and they use contraceptive of any kid, that is two sins.

Bad example if you are trying to argue for the use of condoms since Tamar played an important role in the lineage of Jesus.I would imagine Judah would have wished he wore one when he "knew" Tamar
When one isn't thinking "if this NFP doesn't work, I'm going to get an abortion."When is one's intent to use NFP to be open to life?
