Episode 209: Celibacy vs. Catholic marriage. Which is actually tougher? And is NFP sinful to use?

* Is Natural Family Planning sinful and why? * If NFP is sinful, at what point does the sin occur? The planning, the abstaining, the engaging? * What does "Openness to Life" mean and are NFP Couples actually open to life? * Is St. Augustine a good source of information on healthy, chaste marriage intimacy or is he tainted by his past and the circumstances of his time? * Does marriage even help with concupiscence, as St. Paul recommended, if couples are having to abstain long periods of time? * Which is easier--celibacy of traditional Catholic marriage? * Is it possible to be a traditional Catholic without falling into legalism?
