Brother Andre on X: IVF is the flip side of the contraception coin: Contraception is sex without babies; IVF is babies without sex. Both separate what God has joined together. Both are wrong. Only the Catholic Church as an institution maintains moral sanity on these issues.
If the Church were the evil anti-sex organization her libertine critics make her out to be, she would love to have found a way to have babies without the carnal pleasures of the marriage bed. But, being bound to the truth taught her by her Bridegroom, she maintains her insistence on the โone fleshโ procreative union of matrimony (cf. Gen. 2:24, Matt 19:5-6, Mark 10:8, Eph. 5:31).
Our Father includes interviews with eight of the 94 siblings. Because of Clineโs lack of cooperation and the unknown number of patients he had the opportunity to inseminate up until he stopped practicing in 2009, there is no way to know for sure how many siblings there may be.
As is often and infuriatingly the case in the U.S. justice system, in order to pursue Cline for the crime he had committed, it was necessary to prosecute him for something else. In 2017, he was brought to trial facing two counts of felony obstruction of justice, for lying during the investigation. The obstruction of justice charges meant that no evidence related to Clineโs actions toward his former patients was admissibleโthough those actions constituted the injustice for which the siblings and their parents were truly seeking restitution. Cline pled guilty, and received two suspended sentences (meaning he served no jail time), and a $500 fine.
Why is the Catholic Church always right about these teachings?
She understands the purpose and the ends of these things.
The husband and wife will have children and create the FAMILY!
The Church is the guardian of the deposit of faith.
She knew what two will become one flesh.
That is what one flesh means.
It is not metaphorical.
We call it a coupling together, two joined as one, the conjugal union.

Wonderful I recommend her work.
You donโt want to live in a world where everyone is absolved of all moral responsibility.
