In the Theology of the Body, a great work by John Paul II, all of the churches teachings on human sexuality are explained with great detail. This work is extremely beautiful to study and learn. Christopher West is a laymen who has devoted his life to the Theology of the Body and he is a great resource to get answers to questions regarding our human sexuality. -- Use the link I have in my links section to go to his website.
There is genius in our Churches teachings. Sadly many in the church work to undermine Her teachings on contraception. Below is a statement some find difficult to accept and therefore work against; yet it is the teachings of our Savior because Jesus entrusted His church to the Apostles and their successors. Jesus gave them the power to bind and to loose. Jesus said in Matt 18:18, "Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." That is an awesome promise.
We have been given an authority that we need to take very seriously.
The Church has affirmed that the illicitness of contraception is an infallible doctrine: --- "The Church has always taught the intrinsic evil of contraception, that is, of every marital act intentionally rendered unfruitful. This teaching is to be held as definitive and irreformable. Contraception is gravely opposed to marital chastity, it is contrary to the good of the transmission of life (the procreative aspect of matrimony), and to the reciprocal self-giving of the spouses (the unitive aspect of matrimony); it harms true love and denies the sovereign role of God in the transmission of human life" (Vademecum for Confessors 2:4, Feb. 12, 1997). Use this link to read this definitive teaching!!!! When you get there, go to the section with the heading, 'The Teaching of the Church on Responsible Procreation and look at number 4. For that matter read the whole document, it's excellent!

Hey Jumbo, thanks for this blog. I have been spending a lot of time over at Katherine's worthless "Catholics for Obama" blog and she demostrates a perfect liberal.
She is censoring her blog because it cannot stand the light of truth. You can go to my forum at
Lubyanka Prison Riots
When you get there look in the OTHER NITWITS forum for all the threads I have copied from Katherine's nitwit blog.
You'll see the posts that she censored out.
BTW Betty and Katherine are the same person. She's sneaky like that.
Enjoy.
I checked out your blog and appreciate it's focus. I am new to the 'blogosphere' so I need to catch up. It is very sad that so many have been set up for Obama the Perfect Anti-Christian Storm by such poor catechesis over the past two decades. It has occurred in my estimation because of the concerted efforts of several Bishops to hide Humanae Vitae. Don't give up Hope on your friend Katherine.
