humanaevitaepriests.org — Pope Paul VI issued Humanae Vitae in July 1968, a month after I became a Catholic at Oxford. “Great expectations” were abroad. Experts predicted “a change” in Church teaching on birth control.

  1. I don't know much if anything about Catholics and what they believe. However, taking this article at face value I can only say I'm glad I'm not Catholic. I don't say this to knock Catholics but it sounds way to complicated for a simple Christian boy like myself. Me, I'll stick with the freedom that Christ died on the cross to bring to all who believe in Him. I choose to have sex, within the confines of marriage, but with out popping out kids by the gross. I don't believe I'm condemned for using a condom or my wife for using birth control or, and this still pains me when I think about it, a vasectomy. If any of these bring condemnation a person, then by all means, don't use them. But I thank God for the freedom from religious bondage that Christs death on the cross has granted to me. I wish all Catholics the best in their pursuit of sexual freedom, as long as it is Biblical.

  2. Matthew 11:
    29 Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls. 30 For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.

    Luke 16:
    13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

    You are under bondage, anyway. Whose yoke do you choose, God or mammon? Your freedom is a illusion, if you're a slave to your ego.
