The moral difference between contraception and Natural Family Planning (NFP)
By Doug McManaman

For the past twenty years I have had to find ways to make the Church’s teaching on contraception intelligible and convincing for young people, and I believe that I have done so - at the price, mind you, of a very dry presentation. It is much easier to teach adolescents about the immoral nature of contraception than it is adults—especially after 100 hours of philosophy. Adolescents do not have a decade or more of contraceptive choices behind them that they feel they must defend, and so they tend to be more open to the truth about this issue - but certainly not so open as to forgo a good fight. That is why I am convinced that the best time to begin teaching people about the moral difference between contraception and NFP is adolescence.

Thanks so much for your post. I found it very helpful. I went to Catholic Answers specifically to find info on contraception vs NFP to teach my senior students and came across your article. I’m going to go to the website you listed to see if there is anything more I can read. Thanks again!

The USAID is a good report as it can be used to educate children that may not “trust” pro-life information sources. This report shows that abstinence prevents aids… one can then question why? and with reason conclude that contraception does not work…that it is truly the doorway to a life of death… starting with actively trying to prevent life as a means of "Contra"ception, which when the fail leads to some pregnancies that end up in abortions as well as some failures which end up causing aids… The Holy Father was right in condemning the condom.
