Knitting a Conundrum

Neat discussion on Catholic teaching about sexuality from Touchstone Magazine.

Thirty years of sad experience demonstrate that Humanae Vitae [correctly] sounded the alarm, warning of a contraceptive mentality that would set loose immeasurable evil as modern birth control methods allowed seemingly risk-free sex outside the integrity of the marital bond. At the same time, it allowed married couples to completely sever the sex act from procreation, and God’s design for the marital bond. . . .

Further, we must affirm that marriage falls short of God’s design when husband and wife are not open to the gift and stewardship of children.

Read the whole piece here. Think about it. Think about how much this attitude and approach to life and touched your life, the lives of those around you, the lives of your children, your friends, your associates.

Then you might want to ask yourself, how can my life be a witness for the truth of life, instead of the truth of death?
