In our last episode, we discussed how the fact that the marital act is not the holiest act within marriage and used the Church's teaching on continence within marriage (being holier) as evidence. Out of all things we touched on in that episode, we didn't think this would be so controversial. A young woman then called into the Everts' show and asked about this - their response was that this was not Church teaching. This is our response showing that the Church has, in fact, always taught that.This episode is sponsored by The Fattoria Co.

In this episode, we answer listener questions on a variety of topics: the advantages of getting married young, addressing common misconceptions about veiling, unpacking the difference between subjectivism and objectivism within the Church, and tackling the controversial topic of Natural Family Planning (NFP).
“The Creator Himself and the Author of the laws of nature has established the order that must be preserved in the use of the conjugal right. According to the teachings of the Church, the primary end of marriage is the procreation and the education of children.Other ends, such as mutual aid, the cultivating of mutual love, and the quieting of concupiscence, are secondary, and not of the same rank as the first. They are subordinate to it.This principle remains true and unchangeable. It is necessary that every use of matrimony conform to the laws of God and the ends which He has established.”
-Pius XII Allocution to the Italian Catholic Union of Midwives, October 29, 1951
