    Wow… The stories a person’s iTunes music playlist tells… When a lifetime of clues and hints and flashing lights aren’t enough, you sometimes need to hit a brick wall – or visit hell.

    • Caution Against Using NFP with a Contraceptive Mentality

    LSN Editor Speaks on Openness to Life, Warns Against Using NFP with a Contraceptive Mentality
    http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/mar/09032011.html

    “Even Natural Family Planning is only to be used for grave reasons.”

    “‘Just as many outside the Church have witnessed the abuses of the process of annulment and derisively referred to it as ‘Catholic divorce’, so too if we use NFP with a contraceptive mentality, people will see it as ‘Catholic contraception,’ said Westen. He noted that the decision to resort to NFP to avoid pregnancy should never be made for selfish reasons.”

      Eco-breastfeeding is God’s plan for spacing babies. It is the most natural of the NFP methods. You do not need a “grave reason” to follow this plan of God’s. The Church needs to promote breastfeeding as a form of NFP.

      Dear Mrs. Kippley,

      I am honored that you have commented at my site.

      I have referred to three of your (and your husband’s) books for many years. We have used Natural Family Planning (as learned from your NFP book) since our wedding in 1991. I have given away many, many of your NFP manuals to engaged couples.

      I have successfully used breastfeeding as Natural Child Spacing. My cycles returned as follows after the births of my four living children: 14 1/2 months, 15 1/2 months, 24 months!! past 25 months!!!

      I just had a miscarriage three weeks ago, and I have appreciated the information in your NFP book. While reading it during the miscarriage, I was reminded about baptizing our unborn baby. Thank you!

      I do agree with the point in the article because after 17 1/2 years of NFP, I have come to recognize that it can be used with a contraceptive mentality. I believe Ecological Breastfeeding is exactly how God wanted us to space babies. (I have mentioned it several times on my site.)

      THANKS again for commenting on my site.

      I greatly appreciate your work.

    PLEASE NOTE:

    I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Comments may or may not be published. I may reply privately. Sometimes I reply within minutes. Sometimes it takes weeks because I do not know what to say.
