This is a common misconception (or deliberate distortion) - the possibility of procreation is only one aspect of heterosexual sex (the other being a uniting act of physical love between partners).
You're misrepresenting Catholicism. It's okay, everyone else does it too.
Quote:These aspects are undeniable and cannot be separated from one another.
It can definitely be minimized, for instance: the woman doesn't need to orgasm. There is sex for procreation, and there is sex for pleasure. Don't become a Sodomite.
Quote:It is simply not true that the Catholic Church says sex is only for the purposes of procreation.
You're reading the wrong texts, buddy. Either that, or we return to the original, in which there's a dual purpose for phallic pleasure... but I didn't figure you'd want to associate Catholicism with sexism.
Quote:However, I would agree that the Church does not promote sex "for the hell of it", which is an exceptionally irresponsible attitude!
Exactly what I said...? It's for procreation or consummation (which is really for procreation), end of.
Quote:Note also that women can control their fertility entirely naturally, with the same level of "protection" as artificial contraception, (as stated by the UK NHS),via the Billings NFP method.
No, only chickens can reject semen.
Quote:Billings is what the Chinese use to police their "one child" policy - it works. There are 1,000,000 Billings teachers in China.
Firstly, no.
Secondly, lol
Thirdly, you missed that whole 'schooling' thing.
Quote:The reason artificial contraception is popular in the west is because:
(1) Capitalists make a lot of money from producing and selling it and
(2) it removes responsibility from the user (in contrast billings requires the user to be responsible)
Ciao ciao

Spreading misinformation in both Catholicism and contraception... can you do anything right?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
