The Revolt Against Contraception

To round out a week of NFP Awareness, I wanted to give the final word to 1flesh.org.
That’s the website run by college students unapologetic about their opposition to contraception and hoping to—their words—“bring sexy back:”
If anything can be said of our generation, it’s this: We want sexy back. Our parent’s generation, well, they lost it. They delivered to us a world with sky-high rates of divorce,... READ MORE

Catholics know contraception defies Church teaching.

It’s National NFP Awareness Week!

Oh, have mercy, not another internet NFP debate.

My second question is... READ MORE
I Use NFP Buttons

Here’s something fun.
Spunky pro-NFP blog buttons and badges.
Pictured is my favorite (well, honestly, it’s a tie between that and “We do it every night. Chart.)”
But there are loads of others, and a whole website coming.
On a totally other note: ERIN, the Style, Sex & Substance winner! Shoot me an email—the one you left is not working for me—I’ll leave my contact info in comments.

As you read this, I am attending the National Theology of the Body Congress in Pennsylvania. Tonight, I will have the great honor of moderating a panel with several notable TOB speakers and authors. It feels fitting to be in this place during NFP Awareness Week, when we the commemorate the anniversary of the papal encyclical Humanae Vitae (July 25) which articulates Catholic beliefs about human...

Around here, we celebrate Natural Family Planning every week with our Coffee Talk! But this is a special week for discussing the topic, since the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has called this “Natural Family Planning Awareness Week”.
The timing of this celebration is intentional. According to the USCCB website, “The dates of Natural Family Planning Awareness Week highlight the anniversary... READ MORE
