What IS good, and how do we determine it?

[Longhorn]

What is the belief that they held previously, and why would they have believed it?

?

I mean they already believed contraception is wrong without the justification you linked

How, precisely, does the Catholic Church control my sexuality?

It tells you what you can and can't do with your junk? Prohibits contraception? -_-

To NEIMENOVIC and others:

I'm sure there are exceptions, but preaching "fire and brimstone" is not part and parcel of the typical Catholic experience.

That's good. I already said I don't claim it is. But that doesn't excuse the exceptions.
