But the negative values inherent in the "contraceptive mentality"-which is very different from responsible parenthood, lived in respect for the full truth of the conjugal act-are such that they in fact strengthen this temptation when an unwanted life is conceived. Indeed, the pro- abortion culture is especially strong precisely where the Church's teaching on contraception is rejected. - St. John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae (13)“As opposed to artificial methods, the natural method in striving to regulate conceptions takes advantage of the circumstances in which biological conception cannot naturally occur. Hence, the very “naturalness” of conjugal intercourse is not violated”- Love and Responsibility“The essence of abstinence as a virtue is linked to the conviction that the love of a man and a woman loses nothing by temporarily relinquishing amorous lived-experiences; on the contrary, it gains: the union of persons becomes more profound, grounded fundamentally on affirmation of the value of the person, and not merely on sexual attachment. Abstinence as a virtue cannot be comprehended as a “contraceptive.” - Love and Responsibility FREE RESOURCESFertility Awareness Cheat SheetRelationship Check-UpOur BooksGo To Joseph: 10 Day Consecration to St. JosephGo To Joseph For ChildrenOur MinistryAbout UsConnect with us and send us a message on InstagramEpisode Music by Alex_MakeMusic from PixabayRECOMMENDED RESOURCESLove and Responsibility by JP2Theology of the Body by JP25 Love Languages by Dr Gary ChapmanTotal Money Makeover by Dave RameySt. John Paul and his 5 loves by Jason EvertThe Porn Myth by Matt FraddWould you prefer to listen to these books instead? visit https://www.audibletrial.com/twobecomefamily for a free 30-day trialSupport the show
