Saint Caesar of Arles: “As often as he knows his wife without a desire for children… without a doubt he commits sin.”(7)

Errors Condemned by Pope Innocent XI: “9.  The act of marriage exercised for pleasure only is entirely free of all fault and venial defect.”–Condemned (8)

Tobias 6:17 – “The holy youth Tobias approaches his bride Sara after three days of prayer, not for fleshly lust but only for the love of posterity.  Having been instructed by the Archangel Saint Rapheal that to engage  in the marital act he must be moved rather for love of children than for lust.  For they who in such manner receive matrimony, as to shut out God from themselves, and from their mind, and to give themselves to their lust, as the horse and mule, which have not understanding, over them the devil hath power.”

“But no reason, however grave, may be put forward by which anything intrinsically against nature may become conformable to nature and morally good.  Since, therefore, the conjugal act is destined primarily by nature for the begetting of children, those who in exercising it deliberately frustrate its natural powers and purpose sin against nature and commit a deed which is shameful and intrinsically vicious.

“Small wonder, therefore, if Holy Writ bears witness that the Divine Majesty regards with greatest detestation this horrible crime and at times has punished it with death.  As St. Augustine notes, ‘Intercourse even with one’s legitimate wife is unlawful and wicked where the conception of offspring is prevented.’  Onan, the son of Judah, did this and the Lord killed him for it (Gen. 38:8-10).

~ Pope Pius XI: Casti Connubii



Those lukewarm "Catholics" who haven't even considered that NFP might be sinful and researched the issue will be repaid for all the pleasures they partook in this life unlawfully.

I fixed the font. It makes it VERY hard to read.

Me. Also excuse the gigantic font I don't know what causes it.

Not gonna lie... having reference to the Dimond Brothers does NOT help your case any.

Aside from Creation and a few other basics ("a broken clock is right twice a day", plus we Catholics agree with Mormons, Baptists, and many other heretics on countless elements of the Natural Law), they get just about everything else wrong. They are the modern-day Pharisees, with all the same faults Our Lord condemned the Pharisees for: Making up laws, condemning others unjustly, rash judgment, cutting themselves off from God, forgetting Charity, etc.

If you want to make your point, I would avoid bringing the Dimond Brothers into it. Unless you want to have the opposite effect :)

I'm not kidding. The Dimond Brothers are SO bad, that if a Catholic immediately dismissed your criticism of NFP as "Oh, that's more Dimond Brothers extremist nonsense" THEY WOULD BE JUSTIFIED BEFORE GOD IN DOING SO. Even if that was their only reason.

If I dismissed something being pushed by (((Red Sea Pedestrians))) and God wouldn't hold it against me for failing to look into it, the same would apply to other villains like the Dimond Brothers.

After all, when a mouthpiece has been proven vile and wrong 100 times, you can be at least MORALLY certain (maybe not metaphysically or scientifically certain) that they are wrong the 101st time. It's about moral certainty -- enough to base one's actions on.

I've read some posts this morning where the author clearly forget to sign his lay Papal Bull with the customary, "Signed with the Ring of the Fisherman, Pope (username)". Please be more mindful of Catholic tradition in the future.
