Scrupulosity or doing what's right?

[Guest guest]



The question has been asked or inferred: Is it a matter of being "overscrupulous" to advise a repentant sterilized couple to "practice NFP", i.e., abstain during the fertile time? Not at all. This is what should be done. For more than a one-sentence statement, see http://www.nfpandmore.org/The%20Repentant%20Sterilized%20Couple.pdf .

"Scrupulosity" begs the question. We first need to assess the presence or absence of true moral responsibility, something quite apart from the question of scruples.Sent from my iPhone

You know I understand where you all are coming from and don't disagree but how is this different from say a couple who have obtained sterilization for one of them and then after having a conversion of heart, decides to practice nfp during their "fertile period"? Do we tell them they are overscrupulous?And just a slight clarification with richards correction noted the couple would only have to use a clearblue digital OPK kit which runs less than $20 for box of 20 and she would probably only need a couple of tests per month. No monitor is needed. It would cost $5 per month that way. Still I agree that it may be overscrupulous to recommend this but what an act of obedience by the couple! Blessings
