Responsible Parenthood (HV)
“In relation to physical, economic, psychological and social conditions, responsible parenthood is exercised, either by the deliberate and generous decision to raise a numerous family, or by the decision, made for grave motives and with due respect for the moral law, to avoid for the time being, or even for an indeterminate period, a new birth.”
(HV, 10)

Responsible Parenthood (PCP II) “Christian parents must exercise responsible parenthood. While nurturing a generous attitude towards bringing new human life into the world, they should strive to beget only those children whom they can raise up in a truly human and Christian way. Towards this end, they need to plan their families according to the moral norms taught by the Church.”
(PCP II, 583)

CBCP Consensus on the Standard Days Method
1. The Standard Days Method, provided it is not mixed with contraceptives, is a natural family planning method and is consistent with the moral teaching of the Catholic Church. The bishop should inform the priest or lay faithful who think otherwise and should stop him from spreading his error.
![Page 42: PASTORAL GUIDELINES AND CORE VALUES IN ...fcc-vienna.org/resources/2013_Home_Pastoral_guidelines...Responsible Parenthood and All-Natural Family Planning Program 1 5,558 2,437 1,700](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081521/5ed4aa8a9194df68ac47e600/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
2. It belongs to the bishop to decide whether his diocese will promote or not the SDM, in accordance with his pastoral discernment.

Consensus on Natural Family Planning
and the Standard Days Method Reached at the CBCP Plenary Assembly in Jan. &
July 2009
1. The Standard Days Method, provided it is
not mixed with contraceptives, is a natural
family planning method and is consistent
with the moral teaching of the Catholic
Church. The bishop should inform the
priest or lay faithful who think otherwise
and should stop him from spreading his
error.

Why Natural Family Planning?
1. Normal intercourse is preserved. Couples can plan the size of their families and space births the natural way.

2. NFP is morally acceptable to people of all religions. It does not separate the love-giving and life-giving dimensions of the marriage act.

3. Modern NFP methods are effective and reliable. They are based on scientific evidence. Simplified methods are easy to learn.

4. There are no inherent health risks in NFP methods, unlike the use of contraceptives.

5. NFP is pro-poor. Once the method has been learned, there is no cost involved. It empowers couples not to rely on health centers or drugstores.
Why NFP?

6. NFP is sustainable across generations. Mothers can readily pass on the practice of NFP to their daughters.

Why NFP?
7. NFP involves a joint decision by the couple. Neither partner feels being used by the other.

8. Through periodic abstinence,
NFP engenders sexual discipline
for the spouses, mutual caring,
and self-control in the rearing of
children.

9. NFP enhances
communication between
spouses and promotes a
wholesome family life. NFP
couples seldom or never
end up in separation or
divorce, or resort to abortion.

Natural Family Planning
“Periodic continence, that is, the methods of birth regulation based on self-observation and the use of infertile periods, is in conformity with the objective criteria of morality. These methods respect the bodies of the spouses, encourage tenderness between them, and favor the education of an authentic freedom.”
(CCC, 2370)

Factors to consider:

these judgments before God.” (Vatican II, Gaudium et Spes, 50)
