My main objection is the accusations of Jerome being a sɛҳuąƖ pervert and that it was his sɛҳuąƖ perversion that led to his heresy. For all we know Jerome could have led a perfectly chaste life but he just felt too much pity for the souls of the damned and wished that everyone would be saved. Also I don't think the descriptor "Catholic views of sɛҳuąƖity" means much because of varying views. I do not think you are a heretic, Lad, for rejecting NFP, but only pointed out that you (and others) have been accused of that because you reject the teaching in that allocution of Pius XII (and I think this also shows that Catholics can have differing views on sɛҳuąƖity).
I admit that before I was an observant Catholic I indulged in lust, and yes of course this has a great effect on me. But that was a long time ago and I try to be reasonable and not emotional. Should we reject the writings of Saint Jerome and Saint Augustine because they lived immoral lives before their conversion? Or should we respect their viewpoints because they have experience with sin and overcame it and knew all about its effects on the soul firsthand?
My views are not near Hietnan, as described by Matthew, but Jerome from my interactions with him on the forums and reading his blog seemed more reasonable and not a pervert. And I like hearing such opposing viewpoints even if they are trolls, and I bet a lot of them are trolls.
