    Less good?  Hardly.  Intending to separate copulation from procreation is the principle involved.  That's pretty cut and dry here.  Question you need to argue is whether and to what extent NFP does this.  You've turned completely about-face from the article in our OP.  NFP is NOT a good by any stretch of the imagination.



    Then you're left with it being intrinsically evil.  It may be "separated" logically, but not in the real order.  The integrity of the act is exactly the same as during "fertile" periods.  The real question you need to deal with is whether an reason would justify NFP, because the matter is of positive law.  If there is no grave reason, then such an act would not be justified and therefore sinful.  The same holds for things like missing Mass on Sunday.  If there is a sufficient reason, then one is excused from sin, if there is no good reason, then one sins.  

    When when I refer to the licit practice of this "NFP" I am referring to the licit practice, not its abuse or perversion, so your grandstanding sensational remarks are useless.

    It's been judged there is no sin involved, all else being equal.


    Now you're getting ridiculous.  So there's no sin involved in practicing NFP for years at a time simply because you don't feel like having children?  That's an absurd statement to make without clarifying the CONDITIONS under which there is and is not sin involved, and therefore clarifying the principles behind your statement.  "all else being equal" -- to what?

    Clearly the Father in your OP would state that in 99.9% of cases NFP is being used sinfully.


    Legitimate conditions are assumed for the sake of discussing the essence of the issue.  Why do I need to say this?
