An understanding of the NFP option.

Paul Rex gives an excellent analysis of the NFP experience for Catholic couples.

Here’s an excerpt:

So, this is the logic that underpins the Church’s insistence on the use of NFP, and why Pope John Paul II promotes it so vigorously. Because, when it is used faithfully, either there is going to be a happy outcome, or else it provides the couple with a means of avoiding pregnancy, when grave circumstances warrant it.

The notion of the couple, who selfishly uses NFP as a means of avoiding pregnancy, is one that cannot sustainably exist over any length of time, because the discipline required to prolong it is too great for any couple of presumed selfish interests
