[quote=Anonymous][quote]There a few years when I was in college where I didn't take my faith so seriously, and I was living with a boyfriend. During that time we used condoms, as I still found hormonal contraceptives to be problematic (especially the potential abortifacient properties).

It seems that just about every Catholic has those years.  They are called "before I was married and didn't want to have a baby out of wedlock".  They are followed by the "now we are married and ready to have kids and so we ought to reconnect with our faith" years.  This part is heralded by your first ever box of envelopes for the weekly offering, CCD classes - or kids in plaid jumpers if you can swing it, and the occasional capital campaign pledge.  You may at this point find where that rosary of yours was hidden away.

Sometimes they are followed by the "we already have a big family and have done more than our duty to fulfill God's plan, now it's time to take care of the children He already gave us" years.  Vasectomy isn't an abortifacient, so it seems like God wouldn't mind that much.

It's hard to accept the claims of adherence from the people who are possibly smack dab in the middle of this three phase pattern that is so common.
