I’m stewing right now over a blog post I read at Natural Family Planning International, but I can’t fully comment on it right now because I have three really busy days ahead of me, and this reply will [...]

If NFP is the natural and supernatural in family planning, then IVF is the opposite of that, the bastard child of modern science and the avaricious attitude that one is owed a child.

DC Area Contraception-Free Pharmacy Closes

By On March 6, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Many people would consider the phrase “contraception-free pharmacy” an oxymoron, but I think it’s a badge of honor. It shows a pro-fertility, pro-family mentality that is well aware that not only is the Pill (and other contraceptives) not a [...]

Nourishment for your Marriage Prep Program

…and we’re back. Over the last couple weeks, unemployment malaise has taken its toll, and I’ve just not had the desire to write, neither on the blog nor any of my freelance work.

Isn’t NFP Just “Catholic Birth Control”?

By On January 31, 2010 · 9 Comments

If you’re an NFP fan (as opposed to FAM–fertility awareness method), you probably get this question from your skeptical friends:

What’s the difference between NFP & Contraception? They can achieve the same end–postponing pregnancy–so what’s the difference? Isn’t NFP just “Catholic Birth Control”?

Although Providentialists & reactionary Catholics [...]

By On January 23, 2010 · 11 Comments

It is [was] National Vocation Awareness week January 10-16.

Infertility Sermon: Vague, Pastoral or both?

By On January 10, 2010 · 2 Comments

I found a sermon on infertility on an NFP forum, and decided to take a listen, though I knew it might not be as thorough in the morality department as I prefer. I really enjoyed it, with a big exception. My comments from the forum (no replies [...]

Contraceptive Users, You May Not Know This

By On December 16, 2009 · 3 Comments

Because I have a variety of readers from across the religious/ political spectrum, I rarely–if ever–touch on the “A” word. Being pro-life is important to me, and I want other people to be pro life, but I never want to hit people over the head with it. Far more people come to understand my position [...]
