Remember that the function of medications that thin the lining is life saving for some women and they don’t need to be made to feel guilty and deny themselves a functioning existence because of a remote possibility. And what then of nfp users who KNOW they have a short lutal phase that can’t sustain a pregnancy, they aren’t required to abstain as far as I know.

In such cases, I would defer to the confessor of a penitent in those circumstances. “How remote does ‘remote’ have to be?” isn’t a question I can answer.

I know you know this, but a woman’s body loses pregnancies all the time, almost always unknown to her. Yet to say “couples must abstain because of this possibility” would be both absolute lunacy and would call for the extinction of the human race. Surely God does not will this. That would be beyond anything the Cathari, the Albigensians, or the Shakers ever called for.

They can’t control the length of their luteal phase! How are they responsible for that?!

The Pope Paul VI Institute says they can customize a healthcare plan in such a way that babies will never be lost. Anyone taking a medication Iike this can reach out to them for help finding a safe alternative!

Rather, ponder why the Creator of the universe gave you a reproductive system and why He gave you the power of self-restraint.
This so desperately needed to be said by someone.

So on the money. “Why did God give you a reproductive system to begin with?”.

If I were teaching a class on any sort of fertility awareness, sexual ethics, or the conjugal side of marriage, I would write this on the chalkboard (dating myself here… just like Joe Biden and his record player…) within about the first three minutes of the first session.
