@sugarsweet_A I know you have tried everything, but have you tried going to a local Catholic Church and explaining your situation?

We were so close to things working and being fixed. So close. People don’t realize how close I was to being able to fix it all. I just need help. It’s over now. Getting too late. I’m so sad.

Sorry, but you’ve managed to combine special pleading and begging the question there. By saying contraception “disorders” you are assuming your conclusion. And if you say that then you must also say that God’s design for humans does the same thing, as intercourse when the woman is infertile due to an internal barrier frustrating conception is the same kind of act as when the barrier is external.

Prior to 'Theology of the Body', it was called 'The Natural Method'. 'Natural Family Planning' is different than 'The Natural Method' because NFP comes with pseudo-theology. The purpose of NFP is to discern the limit of the number of children. NFP is used to sell Holy Matrimony to those wanting to use contraceptives (intrinsically evil), but also want their marriage to be valid, which requires them being 'open to life'. NFP is so that the wife can plan a vacation next year to Italy without having to cancel because pregnant or nursing. 'The Natural Method', however, is morally licit for grave cause (not for taking a vacation to Italy), and to be so, requires the intention to be not unjustly prolonged.

@dryapologist @WriterJohnBuck @ThoughtfulSaint God is identical to FatherSonAndHolySpirit The Father and the Son are identical to God So the Son is identical to FatherSonAndHolySpirit and is tripersonal So the Son is simultaneously one person and three persons

@esj199 @WriterJohnBuck @ThoughtfulSaint The Father and Son are identical in regards to their being. They are not identical in regards to their personhood. Nothing is left out in regards to the Son’s being.

“The classical position that procreation is the primary end of marriage does not mean it is the primary end of every conjugal act” True, although that is a common mistake made by Catholics and a few others. Intercourse when the woman is fertile is a fundamentally different kind of act with a different moral object than when not, whether through natural causes or use of non-abortifacient artificial contraception. The latter kind of act, even when assisted by artificial means, is still a natural act that is not ordered towards procreation. “'Primary' in scholastic usage means first in the order of nature's teleology, the reason the faculty exists…. “ Also true. Are you mixing up marriage and the sexual faculty? They are related, but not the same. Also worth noting is the “perverted faculty” argument that used to be popularized by @FeserEdward doesn’t work. Are treadmills intrinsically evil? “Mary & Joseph excluded nothing, special vocation ≠ contraceptive intent.” Demonstrably not true. Contraceptive intent or not, Mary and Joseph in the Catholic telling closed their marriage to new life. You can excuse this with the “special vocation” argument, but then need to explain why this special vocation would entail the diminishment of Mary with virginity as a married woman. “CIC83 changed canonical expression, not doctrine.” Words have objective meanings. Catholics get into trouble denying perspicuity of Scripture, you can’t get away denying perspicuity of canon law. “Genesis 2:18 is real, so is 2:24” True. What is your precise point? You seem to be arguing against yourself. “Paul in 1 Cor 7 is answering a specific eschatological question, not writing a marriage theology.” Asking for a “marriage theology” is overthinking it. St. Paul was giving practical moral guidance with reasoning for it based on the purpose of marriage. It is not eschatological. “The usury case is actually more complicated” Read any number of papal encyclicals on this, starting with Vix Pervenit. Then read Aquinas. All are explicitly against the de-facto modern Catholic position. “the underlying moral principle that exploiting the poor through financial instruments is gravely wrong” That is precisely the Biblical view, and what the Church has returned to. The teaching in between was explicitly not that though, study the above suggestions. The parallel is contraception - the Church has deviated from the original basics and needs to find a way back. Ignoring the problem worked for usury, but with Humanae Vitae and other pronouncements it keeps digging the hole deeper.

I am feeling so very discouraged. My intestines are still not working properly, and I've got yet another infection. I just want to be normal again... or just not be sick. I'm sad, I'm frustrated, and I don't have the words to pray over this anymore.

This morning, we said goodbye to our precious daughter, Sasha. She took her final breath in our arms, asking us to hold her close—then even closer—until her heart quietly came to rest. Leaving her behind felt like losing a part of ourselves.

This is a baby 8 weeks from fertilization, 10 weeks LMP. This is the baby the abortion industry claims is a "clump of cells." This is the baby targeted by the abortion pill. Every child deserves a chance at life. Every child deserves to be protected. Ban abortion NOW.

31st March 2024. At 11:10 this morning Billy the Brave finally found his peace. He should never have had to fight this battle, but fight he did, and so valiantly right up until his very last breath. This is how we will remember him, and now he has gained his superhero wings

I wanted to share an update, because some of you have been asking. Two weeks ago, Joe and I found out we were pregnant. We were thrilled and so grateful for the generosity of God. A week ago, the day of our Young Leaders Summit, I started having miscarriage symptoms and had to leave the event early. I was really touched when many of you reached out and shared you were praying for me and baby. We did lose our little baby. Along with the sadness, we feel comforted and at peace knowing he is in Heaven. We are so grateful to have had him with us for a short time and that we will be reunited one day. God’s love and will are perfect, and mysterious at times. I know He has a plan and we trust in Him. Thank you for the prayers 🙏

“I took my daughter to school healthy and safe, and I got her back fighting for her life.” That is the message a mother in Round Rock, Texas wants people to hear. Alliyah says that on January 12, she dropped her young daughter, who has special needs, off at Hutto Elementary School. Her child showed no signs of injury and was doing fine when she was left at school. A few hours later, Alliyah says she received a call saying her daughter had fallen from a chair about one and a half to two feet high, hit her head, and had been unconscious for roughly 40 minutes. What happened next, Alliyah says, is almost impossible to understand. She says her daughter was moved before her spine was properly stabilized, and no school staff member went with her in the ambulance. After arriving at the hospital, her daughter needed emergency spinal surgery. Alliyah says her child also suffered a brain bleed and a stroke. Today, her daughter remains in critical condition. She is on a breathing tube, and her lungs are failing after developing pneumonia. Alliyah says the infection was caused by bacteria acquired in the hospital following surgery. This little girl is still fighting for her life. Alliyah is asking for prayers and guidance, unsure of what to do next and fearing the worst. Whether this was a tragic accident or something more, let’s stand with this mother and help keep her strong for her daughter.

5 yrs ago today my oldest grandson died in a fire. He was only 20 mo old. It was 4 mo to the day after my husband's sudden passing. No funerals were allowed then = no real closure. Just grief on a shelf, you tiptoe past while trying to live. I ❤ & miss U Genesis Wade Welch 🕊

At this point, I do not care anymore. I will do whatever I have to. This is why people steal, this is why women sell their body, this is why people turn to doing bad things. We are literally starving, we don’t even have water to drink. Every last bit of food was used on the baby

@dryapologist If I move back to the big city, I can only go back to the exact address I used to live in, per my legal agreement with my older two children’s dad. Plus, I already contacted those shelters in that area before I moved away and they are more than full with a severe drug problem too

My son died. I know he didn't contribute anything to mankind — he was only two months old — but I like to believe he was destined to do something good for humanity. It's been a while since his death, and I hate to dwell on it so publicly, but I wanted you to know him.
