June 5, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Using contraception is an “intrinsic evil” in all circumstances because it “cuts off one of the goals of marriage which is an openness to life,” Kansas City Archbishop Joseph Naumann told LifeSiteNews.

Any question on this issue lies on the level of moral culpability for those who do use it, he added.

“Circumstances can affect the culpability, [but] it doesn’t affect the rightness or wrongness of the act,” he said. . . .

'Good confessors can help and guide people through this,' he said.

Thank you Archbishop Naumann for the succinct and very clear catechesis!

God bless.

The wording he uses is problematic: marriage, conjugal. Is he saying, as some persons have claimed, that contraception is only immoral in marriage?

ABC is immoral in marriage. Sex outside of marriage is already immoral in itself.

 

[Ron_Conte]

Contraception outside of marriage is an additional sin. If the person repents, he would have to confess pre-marital sex and contraception as two distinct mortal sins.
