Did you all have a nice NFP Awareness Week? I do hope so.
These photos were my contribution to a great effort by CatholicSistas to counter a post at BuzzFeed.
i DON’T use birth control . . .
These are my posts about NFP:
WHY I DON’T DO NFP
DEAR NEWLYWED, YOU’RE PROBABLY WORRIED ABOUT THE WRONG THING
Thanks to everyone who commented on and shared my Dear Newlywed post. It has been pretty huge. It’s a nice feeling when I manage to do justice in writing to a topic I feel strongly about. I did want to clarify, that that post really was intended for newlyweds, to share what I wish I had known back then, and in no way is meant to indicate that I don’t support or encourage the use of NFP for couples who have discerned a need to limit their family size or space their children.
In fact, um . . . ALL of my posts about NFP are kinda down on NFP aren’t they?!
So, in light of my good-natured NFP bashing, just to clarify: as much as I don’t like practicing NFP, I DO believe that being able to interpret our fertility is part of the fearful, wonderful way God made us and I trust the teaching authority of the Church that has allowed us to use this understanding of our fertility to make right and responsible decisions for our families.
