Good observation!
Obviously the two hours spent on the toilet due to eating such fake/substitutes these fats is not nearly as much fun as one can have while wearing the condom.

St. Augustine had a lot to do with shaping the Catholic Church’s teachings on sexuality. And while he had a lot of hang-ups about sex, he didn’t have any problems with bubble gum.

Condoms allow a person to enjoy the pleasure of sex while avoiding the consequences, i.e., getting pregnant. Chewing gum allows a person to enjoy the pleasure of chewing while avoiding the consequences, i.e., weight gain.I know this is a joke but…
Condoms prevent conception. Chewing gum does not prevent nourishment.

The problem you have here is that the Church does not teach what you claim about eating and the natural moral law.Condoms are forbidden because their use separates the sex act from it’s intended purpose and are said to be in violation of the Natural Law. Why isn’t bubble gum banned for the same reason? This is not a laughing matter!
The enjoyment derived from eating encourages us to nourish the body and sustains life. Without the eating act, human life would cease to exist so this is not a trivial issue. If ever there was grave matter, this is it. Human existence depends entirely on the sex act and the eating act.
To engage in the eating act outside of it’s intended purpose is also a violation of the Natural Law. Can someone explain why chewing bubble gum is not a mortal sin?
She does teach that the gift of fertility:

Actually, no. NFP is information. Not having sex (ie abstaining) prevents conception–works every time.So what? Natural Family Planning prevents conception too.
Without the “eating act” there will be no “marital act”. Bubble gum separated
the “eating act” from it’s intended purpose according to Natural Law. There is nothing
funny about this!
This is a silly comparison. Chewing gum doesn’t prevent you from eating and NFP doesn’t prevent you from having sex. Contraception, however, lets you have sex anytime of the fertility cycle without the consequences of conception. Contraception alters the act. NFP keeps the act intact. I’m truly sorry you are having trouble seeing the difference. Maybe take a break from the topic. Pray on it. Meditate on it. Do some serious reading about it. Pray some more…

Actually if one wants to blow large bubbles, a condom results in a much bigger bubble and it doesn’t stick to ones face when it bursts. Condoms used in this manner seldom fail by bursting.

In that case, I must be a saint.It only becomes a grave sin when chewing continues after the sugar and flavoring is extracted.** Only by swallowing the wad can one be redeemed.
