Contraception: whose sin is it?

[dochawk]

No, you (and by “you” I mean all of us who are random people on the internet rather than canon lawyers and pastors) cannot say this unilaterally .

No, we can (and must) say that for the specific statement “attempt marriage with the intent of avoiding children” does not meet the requirements of marriage int he Catholic Churches.

This is distinct from “attempt marriage with no realistic chance of children” . . .

Thank you for your reply. The couple have chosen to work through the issue, they consider their relationship worth it. They have not yet begun their preparation courses but would appreciate prayers, personally I’ve offered them Mass and will continue to do so as I also consider their relationship is worth it and I pray that Our Blessed Mother will give them many graces.
