  • I have a gut feeling that Pope Francis will come out and say that contraception is not a sin. Do you think I am crazy for having this feeling?
    R.I.P.
    Please pray for the repose of my soul.

  • Maybe he'll just come  out and say "Who am I to judge contraception"?

  • Maybe he'll play the "overpopulation" card.

    I think something like this is much more likely than an outright blessing on contraception.
    Stir up within Thy Church, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the Spirit with which blessed Josaphat, Thy Martyr and Bishop, was filled, when he laid down his life for his sheep: so that, through his intercession, we too may be moved and strengthen by the same Spir

    I think not.  If the Holy Spirit got Paul VI to pen HV against enormous pressure to allow contraception then why quit now?

    It would make no practical difference anyway. 90 percent of Catholics are using contraception already and have been since the 1970s.

  • I think this is nothing more than mindless speculation, which accomplishes nothing.
