"...the priestly ministry is not just a pastoral service; it ensures the continuity of the functions entrusted by Christ to the Apostles and the continuity of the powers related to those functions. Adaptation to civilizations and times therefore cannot abolish, on essential points, the sacramental reference to constitutive events of Christianity and to Christ himself." (Inter Insignores)

,

   I think we are very close but perhaps differ as to who should make the decision. Granted, doctors are trained to make decisions about medical problems. But when it comes to the decision about whether to use something as cheap and simple as well

tested as a basal thermometer, I think that ordinary couples are capable of making that decision if they are given adequate information. I think it is theologically amiss for the Church to align itself too closely with any particular method, and therefore

it should be insisting that couples be given sufficient information so that the have the freedom of choice that is appropriate to ordinary folks. The will cannot choose what the intellect has not considered.Â

NFP from pulpit..help with wording?

Good afternoon!

I was asked by my pastor to draft an after Mass announcement I would make in person soon. What do you think of this? I think I have 2 minutes.Â

Good morning. As a nurse and women and couples' health advocate I ask for you to consider this:  Religious freedom vs. contraceptives

We have until this August 2012, before Catholic churches and Catholic agencies will be forced in their insurance plans to cover contraceptives

free of charge to the insurance member.   Do we have to take sides?  Women or religion?    Of course we know: religious freedom AND true women's health care for sure!

Truthfully many are caught in the middle and we think we have to choose because we've taken the Pill for planning purposes and teen orÂ

women's health.     Consider this perspective: We can support our Church's religious freedom and it's teachings against contraceptive use for family planning .  We can support our Bishops and priests AND embrace the Church's

teachings by understanding it's practical help through Natural Methods of Fertility Awareness or NFP offered by local practitioners.Â

 What would you say if you were told there was another effective, safe method which took care of both: family planning and women's

health without use of contraceptives at all?      Over 50 couples in the past 2 years right in our very own locale, have turned with success to natural methods in conjunction with medical care for healing.  This offers up to 80% success in

a totally moral manner where IVF fails.Â

 There is no need for fear of religious freedom without the Pill. Pills have high doses of hormones, elevate the risk of blood clots,

strokes, heart attacks, weight gain, and has not ever been researched for its use for women's health. Fertility is a healthy state, no need to be reduced to a disease.  The miracle of creating new life is stripped of its entire dual meanings : babies

and bonding in every marital embrace and turns it into a private "contact" sport. This is what drug free/ device free fertility awareness or natural family planning looks like:

99% effective 100% natural, underlying causes of women's physical and mental health revealed and healed without use of the Pill,Â

private, and personalized couple centered learning....

You might not have thought much about religious freedom because you haven't lived under oppression.

You also might not have thought much about natural family planning or fertility awareness methods for teens, singles and married women

for women's health because you thought it was ineffective or too much work or wasn't ever mentioned by your doctor as a viable option.  As a wife, mother and currently a Registered Nurse, I've talked to over 150 couples who've taken a full Natural Family

planning course and communicate with their doctor to manage all women's reproductive health issues, including depression and irregularities of all kinds and family planning based on their private and personal daily fertility journal. Local, organic and

sustainable to women's health and the power to create human life with God.

.. Natural family planning can help sustain your openness to life and love in your life. These are the 2 ends of our physical expression

in our relationships whether married or not.

In harmony with nature and God's ways, you have the freedom to trust NFP for healing,  for family planning & women's health. Â

 This is the freedom the Church invites us too.  Your body knows, you can too!

I will be available in the Green Room at back of parish hall to offer materials, information for your own research and discuss your comments

on this. I welcome them and you! I would very much expect opposing viewpoints. I will listen and want to hear your story.  There is still hope and healing.

 At this point, any woman can get the Pill for free if she has financial issues. Right here at our local Planned Parenthood in Montgomery Village.
