Vatican I vs. Vatican II

[TheLittleLady]

Again, not true.

God designed the female body so that in an average, healthy woman she is fertile for a short period at regular intervals (28 - 32 days ish). God designed the body to give specific signals when she is fertile. God also gave us rational minds to be able to observe and interpret those signals.

As medical knowledge and technology have advanced, the ways we may interpret those signs have become more advanced, however, this is all original design.

Vatican II did not change the design that God gave us

 

[Arkansan]

Relief from concupiscence (granted, in recent decades this one is not often discussed)

That’s only an end in an analogous sense, since it is venially sinful to act for that purpose.

I’m reading Catholic Sexual Ethics 3rd edition book now. Its pretty good so far.

Sorry, but are you claiming that it is sinful to want to have sex with your spouse because having sex with your spouse is fun and feels good?

 

[acanonlawyer]

The “remedy for concupiscence” doesn’t mean that marriage is somehow a legitimate way to act concupiscently or is a legitimate outlet for concupiscence. Marriage is a “remedy for concupiscence” in that it is supposed to eliminate or at least aid in overcoming concupiscence.

Catholic Sexual Ethics 3rd edition

Just remember, while the book may quote doctrine/dogma, it is the authors presenting their opinions of that doctrine/dogma.
