Two new showrooms/office spaces, double height (135 sq m each with bath) for lease in upscale Campal/Miramar beach area, Panaji, Goa. Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wonder what Goanetters think of the only Catholic-approved method of birth-control (which is called "natural family planning"). Was just reading today that three Goans -- Milagres Pereira, Valentine Coelho and Anna Coelho -- received awards at the Couple to Couple League International Convention at North Carolina USA a few months ago. Quote: Vally & Anna Coelho are the Co-Directors of the Couple to Couple League of India. They have a pro-life institute called 'Be-Attitudes' at Porvorim, Goa. They promote Natural Family PLanning, an abstinence-based birth regulation method -- that is highly effective, healthy and has no side effects -- through their involvement in Marriage Encounter and Engaged Encounter. They also conduct Theology of the Body programs, La Leche League meetings tos upport breastfeeding mothers, childbirth education classes, chastity programmes in schools and colleges and fertility awareness classes. Closequote. (Renewal, Nov 16-30, 2008.) Of course it's fine to find some option that fits into our worldview (religious, political or whatever). But I wonder about how effective this approach is, and also on the other hand the pressures on anyone taking such a stand in a world where the pressures of "modernism" and "science" are all that strong...
