Something I find quite disturbing

[PolarGuy]

Funny how I got trashed, told I didn’t know doctrine, told I was being uncharitable, called names, etc…

…yet no one ever actually answered any of my questions.

I think I’ll go tell some OCD sufferers that their nonsinful actions are, in fact, not sins.

Bye.

I know a husband & wife with 1 child. They wanted more and had several miscarriages. Then they learned that the wife suffers from a blood clotting disorder where getting pregnant could kill her. However, the Church – whose leaders will never have to worry about getting pregnant, dying and leaving a baby without a mom, etc. – tell them they have 2 options:

1. Never have sex again; or
2. Be open to life (or death).

Both of those options are just very unfulfilling and unrealistic. Plus, these are happily married, churchgoing Catholics, mind you, in Mass every Sunday. It’s bad enough that the Church offers them option 1 & 2, without option 3 – use ABC to avoid getting pregnant. It’s even worse that using option 3 – and these are married folks, not kids fooling around – gets these folks condemned as being in mortal sin and hence hellbound by others. Plus, look around at the posters on this board. That appears to include a wide spectrum of folks including nice people; good Christians; devout Churchgoers; antisocial weirdos; and…a really large number of the OCD sufferers… and a few people who appear to have no concept of interpersonal relationships, let alone married life, childbirth, etc., juding by their statements, their admissions as to their own lives, etc.

–Just my 2 cents.

PopularGuy,
I saw that you said that you were leaving this thread, but I hope for your friend’s sake that you do read this. Someone who has a clotting condition should NOT be on articifial birth control pills. They cause death for those with clotting problems. I saw a post by someone whose 16 year old daughter died from a blood clot caused by birth control pills. Please, do the research yourself to verify this and let your friends know. Most doctors do not share the side effects of artificial birthcontrol with their patients.
