Bishops push anti-condom drive
by Vito Barcelo

A day before the 15th Congress opens and President Aquino delivers his state-of-the-nation address, the Roman Catholic hierarchy renewed its push for natural family planning, saying that artificial birth control violates Catholic teachings.

In a pastoral letter, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines urged Mr. Aquino to continue the moral legacy of his mother, the late President Corazon Aquino by rejecting policies that promote the widespread use of condoms, pills and other contraceptives.

The Church favors only the use of natural family planning—which advocates abstinence during a woman’s fertile period.

The prelates released the statement, signed by Bishop Nereo Odchimar of Surigao del Sur reiterating their stand against abortion and insisting on the use of natural family planning.Odchimar is chairman of the CBCP’s commission on health care.

The bishops rejected the proposed law on reproductive health and population and development that was re-filed by Rep. Edcel Lagman as House Bill 96.

The bishops said the bill is similar with House bill 5053 filed in the last Congress which seeks to control the country’s growing population and prevent the spread of sexually-transmitted diseases.

“With the utmost concern and urgency we express our strong objection to the fundamental aspects of House Bill 96. The basis of our moral objection is once again the central religious truth of the divine origin and divine image of the human person, of one’s being and life,” said the CBCP.

“Science has proven that some contraceptives render the mother’s womb inhospitable, thereby causing abortion,” it added.

The Church leaders reminded Mr. Aquino that the constitutional protection of the unborn child from the first instant of conception was a legacy of his mother.

“It is a legacy given to us some twenty years ago during the presidency of President Corazon C. Aquino,” said the CBCP.

The prelates instead supported the pending “Act Providing for the Safety Protection of the Unborn Child and for Other Purposes” or HB 13 filed by Rep. Roilo Golez.

... this report said, “Science has proven that some contraceptives
render the mother’s womb inhospitable, thereby causing abortion,” it added.

So, therefore the Bishops recommend the WITHDRAWAL METHOD and the CALENDAR METHOD?

Withdrawal Method has a negative effect on men. Makabayot daw. Any violent reactions? Hehehehe.

Calendar Method is possible but to the society of Class A and B. Why not include C?
Ipasulod ang mga obispo ug kaparian sa balay sa kabukiran, walay mga kalendaryo.

nganong basulon man ang mga obispo nga ila ra mang gipaambit ang unsay baroganan sa simbahan?  pagkat-on mog pugong ug di mo ganahan modaghan ta!

anhi gyod ta magbangi, hubsay.  ang kapobrehon ug kadato sa usa ka nasod naa ra sa mga tawo.  kitang tanan naay responsibilidad.  naa pa man god tay "sakit" nga poguso mogasto bisag way ikagasto kay lagi ibog-ibogon. 

(note:  all claims here do not preclude the exceptions where these are always possible.)   

kay bag-og balay ang silingan, kinahanglan magbalay sad ug bag-o.  moadto ang bana/asawa/anak sa gawas, imbis magtigom una usa mogasto, mogasto una usa makahunahuna ug tigom.  wa na hinooy nabilin aron tigomon kay lagi kining tawo wa may katagbawan. 

unsay unahon ug palit sa pinadala intawon sa ofw nga bana/asawa/anak?  refrigerator ug mahalon nga cellphones para magtagsa ang tibuok banay.  di makahunahuna ug bayad una sa utang nga gigamit aron maka-abroad ang bana/asawa/anak nga dakog interest kada buwan.  napakasakit, kuya eddie.  mohambog dayon ang pamilya nga nakakalatkat sa kahamugaway, wa maghunahuna nga ang ilang giwaldas sa hambog gituloan ug luha sa kamingaw ug laway sa kahago sa ilang bana/asawa/anak.

kita pa ni, ordinaryong katawhan.  this does not include yet those government officials whose interests are really their own.  that's an old song.  but so are we. 

it does not mean that we could not change.  we have all the potential.  we're getting there in terms of personal discipline.  it's reassuring that we now know how to fall in line (in atm banks, for public rides, at grocery stores... time was when all these were a free-for-all; sinikhanay to the max).  we have hope as a people.       

meantime, we can train our kids to learn the ropes of giving priority to one's needs and not one's wants.

as for the bishops' role in our country's population control program, please, they're just doing their duty as dictated by the church.  perhaps we can also do ours.

ang pangutana ani kon immoral ba gyud kaha ang paggamit ug condom?

unsay imong hunahuna ani ms isles?

Linkback: https://tubagbohol.mikeligalig.com/index.php?topic=30719.0

a condom per se has no moral dimension.  how it is used by humans is another matter.  (i understand it's also used with prostitutes?)   

i haven't fully explored the church's reasons for its opposition against condoms in particular, but its stand against all forms of artificial contraception in general is easy to determine just by the word 'artificial' itself.  i'll take the stand of the church any time because it serves best when it serves as both our moral and spiritual compass. 

the church is not against population control; it is against artificial contraception.   that's a whale of a difference.

now, what's wrong with abstinence?

gwargz, ang withdrawal method dili na makabayot. maka alzheimer's disease nuon. hehehe.
ang calendar method, dili sad ni effective kay siguradong masipyat jud. maka attest ko ani... hehehe

ang condom ok ra pero murag haw-ang man kadugayan gamit. mangita jud ka ug natural nga panit. kuyaw sad ug naay buslot kay dili ra ba jud mahibaw-an. 1 in a million ra siguro na ang naay buslot kay matud pa sa mga manufacturers, it passes through a very strict quality control. hehehe.
matud pa sa uban kung ang bomba ang mobuto, patay kang bata ka pero kung ang condom ang mobuto, buhi kang bata ka.

abstence jud ang maayo sa makaagwanta lang. maong mas maayo jud ang mag-agwanta lang kung dili na madala gamit lang sa palm pilot.

daghan man sad mga pari ang ni break sa ilang vow celibacy kay naa man sila mga anak.

Linkback: https://tubagbohol.mikeligalig.com/index.php?topic=30719.0

we can at least thank those who didn't break their vow.  needless to say, the stand of the church is not diminished in any way by those who have gone astray.  dili angay opawan ang tanang taga-tb (sorry for this weird por ejemplo) tungod lang kay gikuto si islander!
