20 A Non-Catholic opinion on how the Church's teachings deserve consideration. It is titled "Catholicism's Lessons on Love."
The Catholic view of sex and marriage vs. the 'modern' take is expressed nicely,
"The prospect of pregnancy is a nagging reminder that sex inherently calls for total, life-long commitment. Contraception undermines that because it involves making a complete gift of your self while intentionally holding back the capacity to procreate, which is essential to that gift."
The concluding line:
"The “quick fix” sexual culture has been tried and found sorely wanting. Catholicism reminds us that there is another option, and challenges us not to settle for anything less than genuine love."
