Me an my wife live in accordance to church teaching. Contraceptives are immoral and unnatural. Our mother, the Church, cares about the dignity of the human person as a whole and the sexuality of an individual is part of the person. Keep it that way.

Marriages that practice NFP have a better chance of staying together.

I feel that it is very important for the voices of those who have selflessly endeavored to live the truth on the Church's teaching regarding sexuality in love as a sign of hope to be heard.

Working together in NFP has enhanced our trust and intimacy as well as our respect for life.

The Wilsons would not consider anything but NFP for our marriage and maintaining an openness to God's gift of new life!

Church teaching should never be swayed by the culture of the day. A watered down Catholicism is not true Catholicism.

I would be deeply troubled if there was any consideration to change the Church's teachings on family planning. I am a convert, and this teaching is the one area where the Church gained on credibility thanks to its unwavering dedication to the truth despite the changing tides of the culture around her. Witnessing to the beauty of authentic marriage and the Church's unique understanding of the adequate anthropology of the human person must never be compromised.

You don't get more pro-woman than NFP!

Learning NFP was part of what brought my husband home to the Catholic Church. Plus, I have learned more about myself and our relationship than I thought possible.

We were directed to a Catholic NFP class by a Planned Parenthood office! It is a blessing in our marriage.

My wife and I are suffering infertility, but are sticking with the Church's teachings because we believe they are Truth.

In my lifetime, I have heard a priest speak from the pulpit on this topic TWICE. The disasterous consequences of the contraceptive mentality affect all aspects of our society and nation. Our Catholic schools and parishes are closing, marriages are way down, shacking up is now the norm, divorce is very high, children of divorce are hurt, our schools are places of violence, etc. It is time for our priests to speak from the pulpit about this! Many diocese already have NFP teachers but we lack couples to teach!

Contraception is based on the love of money and lust; it kills life through self-centeredness. NFP is the sacrificial stewardship of praying and discerning in marriage, the Great Gift of Life in God's Timing. Promote NFP!
