And you never see them seeking the company of sexually available women, right? Or using condoms? Of passing along STIs?

The gates swing both ways, my friend.

Amen!

Not to mention the men who encourage their pregnant girlfriends to abort because they don’t want to be responsible for a baby…

If there was a pill that rendered men temporarily infertile just while they were on it ad the Pill works on women, I am sure there would be plenty of men on it. The only reason this is a gender issue is that only women can actually become pregnant, and the only male forms of contraception are condoms and sterilization.
 
Reading about this woman talking about contraception and her sexual partner’s, it’s quite difficult to understand that in her conscience she doesn’t see anything wrong with what she is doing. I mean it’s in the 10 commandment’s “thou shall not fornicate” and the Church goes into great detail to explain why. How many Catholic’s do people know that actually do know and agree with Church teaching on these fundamental thing’s?? When you have clergy, R.E teacher’s at Catholic school’s etc leading people away from the truth then the Church’s FIRST task should be to educate the Faithful and make sure that those teaching and educating Catholic’s whether it be clergy or school’s are actually doing so
 
As a “devout” Catholic mom, I have to say if one of my four daughters (two of whom are college aged) were to write a blog like this lady has and associated herself with me, I would feel very sorry and disappointed.

I was very fortunate to meet a family who was living a life in line with the magisterium when I was early in my marriage and my children were too young to mess up with all the anti Catholic teachings I had learned from other Catholics.

I could have been this girl! I really did not have a clue. I was very protestant in my understanding of Church teaching. I thought the magisterium was made up of a bunch of frustrated men who wanted to suppress women. I didn’t understand that they were trying to uphold the TRUTH taught to us by Jesus Christ and the Apostles. I was sad and misinformed.

It has been a battle with the world to teach my children this Truth. I am very thankful for all the help and support I have gotten in teaching them over the years. Our current parish priest is a gift to us. He is 35 years old and seriously traditional. He has made being Catholic cool. He speaks the Truth to the parish and especially the youth. He has taken the heat off of me. My daughters, and sons. I believe, “get it” and I am grateful to God for that.

I pray that the blogster “gets it” before it is too late.

👍 I agree!

On the subject of men ‘not taking the pill’ - one of the most scary things about the pill is that in a secular society, it erodes the strength of a woman’s argument to say ‘no’.
When I was taught about contraception at school, it was with the message that it’s positively okay to have sex and a part of ‘growing up’ because we have contraception to protect us.

This sends out the wrong message - especially to teenagers who are somewhat hormonally-driven and lacking judgement (:D) because it takes away any reason - other than one of personal belief - for waiting until marriage because the risk of getting pregnant is seen as ‘the problem’ and contraception - ‘the solution’.

😦 One of the saddest expressions I see used in the media over here is the term, “I fell pregnant” Seriously, I know pregnancy is not without risks, but it is not a disease that one can catch like a cold! You don’t ‘fall’ pregnant - you become pregnant because you have had sexual intercourse: either unprotected or because the method of contraception you have chosen hasn’t worked. Once again, it’s eroding the validity and importance of human life and also eroding the responsibility of the individual for his / her actions.

The only way I know to fall pregnant is to land very awkwardly, by chance, on a man and somehow lose your knickers in the process:p
You are spot on. The following is a good video on thist topic by Dr. Janet Smith:

I’m embarrassed for Catholic U. It would be awesome if a truly devout CU senior would write in and get published as a counterpoint to this sad, ridiculous piece.
 
Hasn’t she excommunicated herself?

Why is she allowed to tell Jesuit High School students to use condoms and contraception? :eek:

Why is she paraded as a ‘Catholic’ voice on CNN, when she is in violation of Church Teaching. She is a heretic, is she not?

Are CNN going to have an article written by a Catholic entitled": Why I’m Catholic and against contraception.’’ ?
IMHO-
A lot of the why’s are due to the bishops thinking they could kind of look the other way with politicians, avowedly catholic, on some issues if they were supportive of other issues.

So instead of standing for truth and publicly correcting them keeping things clear they allowed things to get muddled. Allowed high profile politicians to confuse others over the Church’s teaching.

Seems so.

Unfortunately, it’s been my experience that some Jesuit institutions promote heretical ideas in the name of a ‘liberal education’.

CNN leans left, so this piece fits with their agenda.

Don’t know, but they certainly should.
