Gratitude that a fellow Catholic who has had the witness and courage to initiate this communication.

By our lack of fervor on this subject, we have allowed Alfred Kinsey, Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood speak for the Church to the point that sexual morality and health marriages are almost non-existent. We must reclaim our voices and speak often with confidence and authority. Please make chastity education including natural family planning a priority for all Pastors. Be bold and courageous in educational programs regarding marital chastity and natural family planning.

We love NFP! After 25 years, we see the many, many blessings of this lifestyle. It supports the dignity of men and women--letting us know we are wonderfully and beautifully made. Couple to Couple League made sure we understood our "owner's manual" on NFP. :) We learned patience, healthy living and how to work together to have a successful marriage. NFP is the hidden gem of the Catholic Church. It is time to share!

The longer we practice NFP, the more we recognize the wisdom of the teaching. In so many ways, following the teaching makes sense in the secular world--objectification of women, stewardship of creation, and so on. This is a message whose time has come.

Love my faith, all the riches it has brought me; the fullness of Truth about my marriage and sexuality is among the most treasured!!!

To our shepherds: you will be in our prayers. Know that we are no small number that support the Church's teachings on these matters.
