Catholicism is one of the last holdouts against contraception, abortion, euthanasia, sex outside of marriage, and more. The Church’s moral teachings ultimately protect people from heartache, illness, broken families, and, especially in the case of abortion, death.

And yet, these teachings have opponents even within the Catholic Church’s hierarchy.

Richard Doerflinger is one of the contributors to Lived Experience and the Search for Truth: Revisiting Catholic Sexual Morality, which argues against those who wish to change the Church’s moral teachings.

He shares his personal experience of how The Pill affected his wife physically and mentally, and how they came to follow the Church’s path, Natural Family Planning, instead.

Doerflinger explains how secular culture has turned to “expressive individualism” and subjectivism, where moral principals are whatever feels right for the individual.

This mindset causes problems, Doerflinger explains. Moral absolutes are absolute for a reason.
