In case there are still people out there who don’t know that the Christian marriage is about making babies, and indifferent to the happiness of the parties.
A couple of days ago Archbishop Naumann made an insightful comment regarding contraception that is in many ways as prophetic as Pope Paul VI’s Humanae Vitae. LifeSiteNews reports that Naumann said that, in all cases, the use of contraception is an “intrinsic evil” because it “cuts off one of the goals of marriage which is an openness to life.” We must understand that, once we deny the two goals of marriage (unity and fecundity/fruitfulness), disrespect for the human being is sure to follow because, while God’s design for marriage is perfect, man’s is fatally flawed. Naumann has previously reiterated Pope Paul VI’s concerns for those who prefer man’s desires to God design. Furthermore, he wrote that one of the outcomes of the contraceptive mindset is that it has resulted “in a diminished respect for the human person in general and women in particular.”
Right: If you won’t keep your wife pregnant, you’re disrespecting her.
Once again, then, YAY!! for those who won’t get married in church.
