During this Lent, my goal is to more fully describe what I term the three pillars of defense against the dissolution of marriage. They are: Abortion, Advanced Infertility Treatments, and Contraception. Each separate the unitive and procreative aspects of the marital act, which is central to the sacrament of marriage.
The use of contraception, which by the words of Malcolm Potts himself, one of the progenitors of Planned Parenthood, is directly linked to abortion. How is this possible? No contraceptive method is 100% foolproof, and with the failure of the method....abortions become more common.
Artificial Insemination and ART dehumanize the marital bond. Both partners do not have to be present, and there is no demonstration of unity between husband and wife. There cannot be, as they are physically separated.
The USCCB has encouraged its priests to speak out on these subjects this lent. I pray that they take up the task enthusiastically.
