With all due respect John, you are wrong. The Catholic Church never
condoned oral sex.

The sole purpose of sex according to the Church is procreation, with
birth
control during a woman's period.

I'm not sure that is totally accurate. Humanae Vitae requires that
sexual
intercourse be open to life, precluding contraception, but I don't
believe
it requires all sexual intercourse to be for procreation. It's about
giving one's all to a marriage, not giving everything but one's
fertility.
It is my understanding, oral stimulation, as foreplay, is perfectly
acceptable in a marriage.



You are perhaps correct. And I should have said that abstention from sex
prior to a woman's period is the Church's idea of birth control.


The Church condones the 'rhythm method' as an acceptable method of birth
control.

Who gives a ****? Seriously....what sort of person orders his or her life
based on advice from a huge club made up of people who've sworn off marriage
& sex (except with young boys)?
