Today’s Boston Globe’s editorial page was somewhat frightening to a faithful Catholic. The top billing editorial was an attack on President Bush’s appointee for deputy assistant secretary for population affairs, Dr. Eric Keroack. This editorial skewers Keroack’s ideas about family planning and makes them sound so fringe as to be laughable - maybe to a secular progressive society (and especially a place like Massachusetts) they are fringe but when you read what Keroack advocates, you realize that he is endorsing Catholic principles such as natural family planning, chastity, abstinence before marriage, and counseling for pregnant mothers that tries to convince them to save the life of their child rather than destroy it. It makes me sick to death that a paper like the Globe has demonized the truth.

On the same editorial page, columnist Derek Jackson takes a shot at the Catholic church and others for their stand on traditional marriage. He states that “the bishops passed a bizarre set of guidelines” at the latest conference that purports to welcome gays and lesbians but at the same time encourage them to be chaste. This is long-standing Catholic teaching and it strikes a beautiful balance between support and standing firm in the truth - for Jackson and the Globe, however, it’s ridiculed as “bizarre”

Finally, on still the same editorial page, a series of letters to the editor are unanimous in their bashing of anyone who disagrees with the gay agenda in terms of same-sex marriage or the origins and treatment of homosexuality. One writer even goes after Gov. Mitt Romney for his Mormon beliefs and says “don’t all Mormon guys have, like, 50 wives each?” and concludes his ramblings by inadvertantly confirming the dangers of changing the traditional definition of marriage by opening it up to what would be the logical extention of this idea: polygamy and other alternative arrangement between adults. Today this paper gave me the chills.

Natural family planning is a fringe idea in a society where only 4% of Catholic women between ages 14 and 44 practice it. And these are members of the church that actively promotes it.

What you’re saying is sad but true…but, that doesn’t make the idea of natural family planning any less consenant with the truth that the Church teaches.

Many fine ideas started as fringe ideas. Many horrible ideas started as fringe ideas. But NFP is still a fringe idea today.
 
Considering the billions that is marketed to have women on artificial birth control from a young age prior achieving full maturity, and the misrepresentation that NFP doesn’t work it is hard to teach.

We should find the irony that Massachusetts is the only state to LOSE population, despite an a large immigration population!
 
Derek Jackson . . . states that “the bishops passed a bizarre set of guidelines” at the latest conference that purports to welcome gays and lesbians but at the same time encourage them to be chaste.

Bizarre only to someone who knows nothing of Christianity. Or who pretends not to.
 
NFP being a ‘fringe’ idea for secularists is mainstream for God and should be for Catholics, priests and bishops had some gumption to require for engaged and married couples and would preach about it being wrong.

So NFP is God’s idea? Now that’s a new one!
