Practicing Catholic Show

July 25-31, 2021 is Natural Family Planning Awareness Week, which is great... because misconceptions about NFP are bountiful (pun intended?). Our producer, Cami Berthiaume, takes over the mic to chat with the founder of Managing Your Fertility, an online one-stop shop of fertility awareness resources for women and couples, Bridget Busacker.

Why isn't contraception licit in the eyes of the Church? How does artificial birth control deter from God’s plan for marriage, specifically in the free, selfless giving of oneself to one’s spouse? How does NFP uplift God's plan for marriage? Bishop Cozzens continues the conversation about NFP by tackling some tough questions about artificial contraception and Catholic teaching.
