"Catholic" SIL asking for help on NFP

[Hellisreal]

I understand Monicad, thanks for the clarity and taking the time to explain your point.

I think I am going to check the search feature and see what pops up, I really think I read about this before, somewhere- might have been in ask the apologist I think. Where someone else was in a similar situation, and asked if they were committing a sin helping someone in this kind of case…

Thanks for clearing that up for me though.

I have read Thelogy of the Body…I am sorry that I have been misunderstood here. Of course it is not okay to encourage someone to fornicate and I sincerely hope that everyone here beleives the same.

Here is where we differ: I beleive that reading about NFP (because of the way it is presented in the books I have read) may actually draw here sister-in-law closer to Christ and away from her boyfriend.

You beleive that reading about NFP will encourage her to engage in fornication.

I respect your point of view. Please though, read other’s testimonies here…reading about NFP brought many closer to God (including myself) and so that is why I think so many of us are encouraging her to give her sister-in-law information about it. We are all hoping that learning about it and the true purpose of sex will open her eyes to what she is doing. Hope this helps clarify.

The CCC talks about NFP - CCC 2368 and I note the words “just reasons” allow its use.

I’ll let everyone here decide if in this case Just Reasons are being used.

Human Vitae n. 14 says contraception is wrong, but my understanding of that, has always been that it was in relation to fornication.

In any event, to do something bad, with hopes good will come of it is also in the CCC. And, its wrong. I just have to find the citation.

So, I again, am going to urge caution here. Unless, someone can show me there is error in my line of thought.
