Who saw this coming with Obamacare...oh wait, Pope Paul VI in 1968 and every sane Catholic sense then and every sane Catholic who has been seeking to reform Obamacare and the HHS mandate.
This is an ad that appeared in Colorado, sponsored by, ironically, PROGRESS Colorado. This is progress?
The idea that these clowns in the picture, or anyone like this, can't afford carcinogenic birth control pills is ludicrous. This ad goes to show that it really all has been about, from the beginning, Planned Parenthood's agenda vs. the Catholic Church's agenda, or the Devil's presence on Earth vs. Christ's presence on Earth.
It is also in times like these where I wonder how anyone can be a Christian but not a Catholic. The Catholic Church is the only Church that has been speaking out about this garbage, warning about it, and predicting stuff just like this. It is time for Christians out there to pick a side - the Devil or the Catholic Church...time is running out to tread water in between the two poles.

When I first saw this I shook my head. Saddened, but not surprised. So much of my generation is spiritually empty, and others try to profit from it. To paraphrase what a priest once told me in Confession, when we seek the pleasures of this world what we are really seeking is Christ. We just take the 'easier' way out. I guess that may sound obvious to some, but thinking about the choices I am faced with and the decisions I have to make, I see how much I need to *apply* that statement to my daily reasoning. So I think that a lot of the destructive choices people, especially those in my age group, make truly result from a lack of any outlet to God.
ReplyDeleteIf I have kids that I can't afford to take care of what then? Is it morally correct to expect you to raise my kids? Is it morally correct to expect you to raise me and take care of me and my family? If so then let me know where I can send my bills to.
ReplyDeleteMy point is there is responsibility needed in either case which is sorely missing in our society. You can't say that birth control pills are evil in all cases...unless you agree to pay for the raising of all children on Earth.
If life is really sacred then you should encourage people to only create life they can sustain (meaning that the Earth which the Lord created can sustain too). I can't consume all the resources on Earth to feed my kids and deny the impact...the suffering, I would cause others to endure. I can no more burn down your fields than produce unsupported kids that consume all your food and claim either is sacred.
The US government does far more harm by supporting trade with communist China than any other single policy. Why aren't you focused on the rise of communist Chinese influence in global corporate boards and the impact that will have on US policy?
US trade policy is the most evil thing we have to fear.
contraception increases the number of unwanted pregnancies because it fails, and guess who is there to help provide the abortions when contraception fails...Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry.
DeleteThe Church does not teach against the regulation or limitation of offspring per se, it's the means that are the issue. Contraceptives desecrate the marital bond, offend against chastity, and are a menace to public morals. If one isn't ready for true marriage (one man, one woman), one isn't ready for sexual relations; if one isn't ready for children, one isn't ready for marriage. It's only hard if you want it to be.
