Episode 222: Can you really abuse NFP? We respond to Harrison Butker speech controversy.

* Can you really abuse NFP (Natural Family Planning)? * What does "Grave Cause" even mean under Humanae Vitae? #Is NFP just Catholic birth control? * Is it really harmful to wait to have children to establish financial security? * You're never too old to learn new things in marriage * Are we too soft on masturbation? We get called out by an angry listener * frequent marital intimacy is such an enormous boost to your marriage Harrison Butker commencement speech: https://youtu.be/-JS7RIKSaCc?si=BnsDo8oJ4M1tj70y Link to John Farrell's video: https://youtu.be/J1Ux5EYMf6E?si=JWkhLbH2ichbnRy9 Link to 2352 of Catechism: https://www.usccb.org/sites/default/files/flipbooks/catechism/566/ "2352 By masturbation is to be understood the deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual pleasure. "Both the Magisterium of the Church, in the course of a constant tradition, and the moral sense of the faithful have been in no doubt and have firmly maintained that masturbation is an intrinsically and gravely disordered action." "The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose." For here sexual pleasure is sought outside of "the sexual relationship which is demanded by the moral order and in which the total meaning of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love is achieved." To form an equitable judgment about the subjects' moral responsibility and to guide pastoral action, one must take into account the affective immaturity, force of acquired habit, conditions of anxiety or other psychological or social factors that lessen, if not even reduce to a minimum, moral culpability." #harrisonbutker #naturalfamilyplanning #kansascitychiefs #benedictine #taylormarshall #humanaevitae #marquettemethod #Catholicbirthcontrol #mortalsin #venialsin #catholiccatechism The Uncharted Catholic Man is a podcast hosted by two Catholic men, husbands, and fathers.
