[Update: Two new events posted below.] Debate|Contraception: Is it harmful to women? (Thomas Center, Boulder, Colorado) January 26th, 7pm Flyer Is the Pill Necessary [...]
Holy Smokes! If ya’ll are going to be near Northern Colorado in late January, save the friggin’ date, because this is going to be an interesting dialogue of wits. Janet Smith, the the Father Michael J. McGivney Chair of Life Ethics at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit and consultor to the [...]
[I have used the term "contraceptive mentality," but I must say that Fr. Erlenbush's piece made me give pause to how I use my words. Words and phrases mean so much, and lead people closer to understanding or further away.]
by Fr Ryan Erlenbush
This coming Sunday [retro post--1st Sunday in [...]
I love dance.
How is dance related to the plague of contraceptive culture? Allow me to explain where this idea started.
My mother was a dancer. I got the genes as well, although I didn’t train nearly as long or hard as my mother, and some of my gymnastics and drill team compatriots. But [...]
Think Again Thursdays return! Oh, man, I’m way behind. I should have posted this a couple weeks ago. But good news: there’s still time–tonight!
Please take just one minute to write Health & Human Services (pre-filled out online forms) [...]
I just saw on Twitter (H/T to Living the Sacrament) that this week’s The Catholic View Episode is entitled, “The Contraception Deception.” IT airs Friday, July 8th at 6:30pm EST. Boom. Can’t wait to see what they roll out. By the way, [...]
Just in case you didn’t see this great piece by fertility super advocate and one time One More Soul Exec Director, Jenn Giroux, check it it out: “Giving a Pass to the Pill.”

I’ll be giving my version of Janet Smith’s “Contraception: Why Not” called “Family Planning: Thinking Outside the Pill” at the Denver Cathedral CLAY Group, April 11th at 7:45pm (after 6:30pm Mass) in the parish rectory basement.
The talk will cover contraception, its false promises, what the Church really teaches on marriage, [...]
This is not breaking news, but a oldie but goodie article link I didn’t get a chance to post before.
Contraceptives May Double Risk of Stroke.
My favorite line: “benefits [of contraception] still outweigh the risks for most users.” Growing numbers of “most users” would [...]
The surprising part of this article isn’t that it gets that the Pill isn’t a panacea. Nope, it’s a frank article that questions the health benefits and one size fits all approach to women’s wellness that currently passes as health care. The surprising thing is that [...]
Because I have a variety of readers from across the religious/ political spectrum, I rarely–if ever–touch on the “A” word.
