About this listen

The Contraception Deception: Catholic Teaching on Birth Control by author Patrick Coffin is a comprehensive assessment of the Church's sexual ethic. In this expanded revised edition of Sex Au Naturel: What It is and Why It's Good for Your Marriage, Coffin demonstrates how the rejection of "humanae vitae" impacts more than just our national birth rates.

With relevant insight into the development and reception of Paul VI's landmark 1968 encyclical, Coffin explains why Humanae Vitae is more timely than ever.

In The Contraception Deception, you'll learn where exactly the Bible teaches against birth control, the differences between contraception and natural family planning (hint: they're more profound than you think), why other reproductive technologies fall short of God's vision for marriage and family, and - most importantly - how to rely on the ever-present grace of God rather than your own strength in faithfully following this challenging, life-giving aspect of Christian discipleship.

This book is exceptionally well written. It's almost addictive. The case put forth is that of the Catholic Churchs official teaching regarding birth control. The most informative parts of this book, for me, were those that commented on societal results which have followed the implementation of contraception into the countries of the world, particularly the west. The connection here between a very poor birth rate all across the western world (not nearly enough to maintain our current numbers) and contraception is striking. That Gandhi and Freud both thought contraception was deplorable. The empirical evidence that every single nation in which contraception has been introduced, abortion has increased, without exception. That of a case study of 1400 couples who practiced Natural Family Planning and were followed for 20 years, not one of them had a divorce. These facts are worthy of, I think, very serious consideration.
