Living together in sin: the new era of prostitution…

"O My child and My children, never have We seen from the beginning of time a world in such chaos. And also, I shall not speak with words that affright your heart, my child, but I wish it known that this new modern role of what they call 'marriage without marriage'--which means living as 'common-law,' I understand--My children shall not be tolerated in Heaven. It was never the plan of the Eternal Father that man and woman shall live as animals.
"Fornication shall never be accepted. There is no excuse for fornication. If you cannot remain celibate, better then that you must then be married. It is better, My child and My children, to be married than to burn in hell.
"I also ask that all of My children of the world review the Ten Commandments." - Our Lady of the Roses, November 1, 1985

(The following is taken from the booklet, "Why the Catholic Church says 'Investigate'", + Imprimatur Joseph E. Ritter, Archbishop of St. Louis, January 24, 1949):

“Why have children rather than a car?”

Possibly only a very few, utterly selfish persons would care to look on their marriage obligations in the way reflected by this question. Anyone who has regard for the welfare of mankind, anyone who has a sense of values at all, will have no difficulty in telling which is more important: a single human life or a motor-car … a single human life or all the motor-cars in the world.

Yet this question was asked, in all seriousness, by the leading advocate of birth control in the United States. It shows the type of mind that is behind this movement. Birth control or birth prevention (also called “planned parenthood,” “spaced births,” “contraception, and other names) is the advocacy of artificial devices or measures to be used at the time of the performance of sexual union so that, while the pleasure of the action is enjoyed, its natural effect is prevented. First Christmas living together

The attitude of the Catholic Church to such practices is so well known that it need hardly be mentioned that she condemns them altogether. The Church has never encouraged indiscriminate and immoderate “breeding.” She constantly teaches moderation and self-control. Where there is need, married couples may regulate their sexual life in natural ways through the practice of periodic abstinence, confining their relations to times when conception will not occur. But she cannot tolerate any unnatural interference with the marriage act. And because, as is the case with many of her teachings, she is bitterly opposed for this stand, it is well to present, in a brief way, the unchanging principles that make her position inevitable.

Birth prevention is opposed by many even not of the Catholic Faith, sometimes for the same reasons and sometimes for others. Dr. Friedlander, for example, writing in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology stated that: “All the possible methods of preventing conception in this day and age cause nothing but sexual irritation. Any of these may bring on metropathy.” (diseases of the womb). Dr. Friedlander opposes birth prevention because it is medically harmful. Such was the reason of Dr. William G. Morgan, past president of the American Medical Association, when he testified before the U.S. House of Representatives as follows: “Every physician of experience knows that all contraceptive devices and methods have a direct, more or less, effect upon the pelvic organs and the nervous system.”

Others, again, resent the picture of what our society would look like if the advocates of birth prevention had their way. The same prominent leader of the movement was quoted in the headline of this article wrote, several years ago, in the American Weekly magazine, several proposals for laws that should exist in this country. Among them were these: “A marriage license shall in itself give husband and wife only the right to a common household and not the right to parenthood … No woman shall have the legal right to bear a child, and no man shall have the right to become a father without a permit for parenthood.” Few people in our free land can relish such a flagrant violation of our inalienable personal rights.

These are all good reasons for being against birth control, and the Catholic Church gives to them all her sober attention. But these reasons are not, primarily, the cause of her opposition.

Immoral in itself

The Catholic Church is opposed to birth prevention because birth prevention is immoral in itself. It is an evil thing, contrary to the laws of morality, wrong just as lying, stealing and murder are wrong.

Because birth prevention is altogether immoral, there is no possible argument that can justify it. If a thing is evil in itself, then it simply cannot be done, no matter for what reason. An evil means cannot be justified by a good purpose, real or supposed.

Birth prevention uses much propaganda to get itself accepted. If birth control is not employed, it says, there will be over-population … an antiquated argument that has been proved false. It proposes birth prevention as a cure for the economic problem of housing and food … which it is not. It maintains that mothers’ health demands that births be spaced by several years … an unscientific fable exploded by Dr. Nicholas Eastman of Johns Hopkins University.

Nothing can justify it

All the argument of birth prevention can be disproved, but they do not even have to be disproved. For even if the arguments were good, birth control would still be bad: it would still be wrong. Doubtless an easy and efficient means of solving the housing shortage would be to shoot half of the poorest population. But this would be an immoral solution. So, even if birth prevention were an easy and efficient means of solving any problem, it would still be the wrong thing to do.

Birth control is, first of all, a sexual perversion. What is a perversion? A perversion is a thwarting or frustration of a natural act against the purpose for which it was instituted. Thus we say a lie is the perversion of speech. Speech is a power that exists for the conveying of ideas to one another, for mutual help. When we lie, we pervert this faculty—we thwart it, frustrate it, turn it against the purposes for which it was given.

It decadent pagan Rome, many nobles had in their houses a room called the vomitorium—“the place of vomiting.” After having enjoyed a full meal, the pagans would retire to this room, disgorge the food they had eaten, and then return to eat once more. These Romans made the pleasure of eating an end in itself, and in so doing they perverted the purpose of eating, which is to nourish the body.

The purpose of sex

Just as in the matter of eating, God has attached to sexual union a sense of physical satisfaction, and he has given man an urge and an inclination for it. The pleasure is present only to render agreeable what otherwise would be an unwelcome duty. The natural effect of sexual union is the procreation of children. To perform the act purely for the pleasure, while deliberately preventing the consequences of the act by an unnatural means, is simply perversion. It is a perversion as surely as masturbation is a perversion.

Mr. George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer , has, in fact, called birth prevention by the apt title of “mutual masturbation.” In masturbation, one gratifies the sexual urge and takes sexual pleasure while frustrating the purpose of sex. In birth control, this sin is mutual, and the couple assist each other in it. Parents who practice birth control and thus testify that they look on the pleasure of sex as the only important thing cannot consistently reprove their children for masturbation. Both are equally perverting the sexual act.

A great moral teacher, who was not even a Christian himself, was able to recognize this clearly. Mahatma Gandhi wrote these words: “If satisfaction of the sex urge is a duty, unnatural vice would be commendable. Even persons of note have been known to approve of what is commonly known as sexual perversion … Marriage loses its sanctity when its purpose and higher use is conceived to be the satisfaction of the animal passion without contemplating the natural result of that satisfaction … It was reserved to our generation to glorify vice by calling it virtue.”

Finally, our judgment on birth control must be that it is nothing more or less than a kind of prostitution. The prostitute sells the use of her body for a man’s pleasure in return for some material consideration. A married couple which employs birth prevention in its relationship is doing this same thing. Both wife and husband are using one another for sexual pleasure … the “home” they have set up exists as a convenience for their self-gratification. They void the purpose of a home, the purpose of marriage. They prostitute themselves to each other. There is little difference in this relationship and the same kind that would exist between those who are not legally married.

A form of prostitution

This was the judgment passed by Dr. Victor Pederson writing in the Medical Journal and Record: “It is concubinage, nor marriage; the new era of prostitution; teaching our mothers and daughters, sweethearts and wives the common practice of the brothel. There is nothing in this birth control movement which the common prostitute does not practice in one form or another.”

For these reasons the Catholic Church takes her stand against unnatural birth prevention, no matter what form it may take. Any other stand is for her impossible. She could not remain indifferent, refuse to speak, even if she so desired. The law against birth control which she maintains is not merely a Church law, but the law of God. She is a religious organization, charged to repeat and defend in every age the unchanging teaching of Christ and of Christian morality.

The Catholic attitude

She realizes that this stand does not make her popular with those who favor the use of contraceptives. She realizes that because of it she loses some even of her own members, who have not had the courage to follow God’s will. Leaders of other religions have been found to approve birth control. They have been unable to withstand the evidence of their gradual powerlessness in the religious world, and in an attempt to curry favor they have tried to “give the public what it wants.” They will realize that they have really gained nothing save the contempt of those whom they have tried to please, while at the same time they have forfeited whatever claim they had to speak in the name of God. The Catholic Church knows, now as always, that God’s law does not change, and that no matter how widespread a violation of the law becomes, the violation remains wrong.

"The act of marriage blessed by the Father must not be dissolved to suit mankind in his carnal nature and loss of the knowledge of God. What God has joined together no man shall place asunder." - Our Lady, December 28, 1974

Our Lady of the Roses' Awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

DESPICABLE
"The Eternal Father has given mankind a set of rules, and in discipline they must be obeyed. It behooves Me to say that My heart is torn by the actions, the despicable actions, of My clergy. I unite, as your God, man and woman into the holy state of matrimony. And what I have bound together no man must place asunder. And what do I see but broken homes, marriages dissolved through annulments! It has scandalized your nation, and it is scandalizing the world. Woe to the teachers and leaders who scandalize the sheep!" - Jesus, May 3, 1978

PROPAGATION
"The act of the union of the flesh was created as the means for the propagation of life upon your earth. We have seen the defaming of this sacred ritual of your God. You fornicate like animals, and when you sin you will not stand up and accept the fruits of your vulgarity.
    "The union of the flesh will produce as the Father has deemed it. Should you use this in any manner contrary to the laws of your God, you shall reap what you have
sown." - Our Lady, May 10, 1972

HUMANAE VITAE*
"The encyclical of Pope Paul on birth control is true and must be followed by mankind. There shall be no rationalization of sin. There shall be no excuse for the murder of the unborn. Sin has become a way of life among mankind, but Heaven does not condone murder. Heaven cannot condone sin, though the Eternal Father in His mercy is most merciful and long suffering and forgiving." - Our Lady, October 2, 1976

*The encyclical letter, Humanae Vitae [Of Human Life] by Pope Paul VI, principally forbidding the use of artificial contraceptives in the regulation of births, under pain of mortal sin. It was issued in 1968 amidst great controversy generated by dissident theologians and others, who clamored for a reversal of this timeless doctrine. This godless pursuit was dealt a heavy glow when our Holy Father, speaking as the supreme teacher of the Church, gently but firmly articulated the constant teaching of the Church. We recommend that you read and study this momentous encyclical letter, Humanae Vitae.
STRENGTH
"The strength for souls will be found in the family circle." - Our Lady, December 31, 1972
ANNULMENTS
"Families are disintegrating. I must tell you now, My children, the family must be returned to the holy state it was constructed for. We shall never approve nor accept marriage and cohabitation without marriage. We shall not accept the annulments that are being given now to so many without due cause." - Our Lady, September 27, 1986
COMMON-LAW
"O My child and My children, never have We seen from the beginning of time a world in such chaos. And also, I shall not speak with words that affright your heart, my child, but I wish it known that this new modern role of what they call 'marriage without marriage'-which means living as 'common-law,' I understand--My children shall not be tolerated in Heaven. It was never the plan of the Eternal Father that man and woman shall live as animals.
    "Fornication shall never be accepted. There is no excuse for fornication. If you cannot remain celibate, better then that you must then be married. It is better, My child and My children, to be married than to burn in hell.
    "I also ask that all of My children of the world review the Ten Commandments." - Our Lady, November 1, 1985

    "I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day now, the Book of life and love, your Bible.
