Everyone shoudl check out this video of Fr. Euteneuer publicly confronting Sean Hannity on his open support of contraception.

Note how Hannity immediately attempts to steer the argument AWAY from the issue at hand via an ad hominem attack.  He might as well have said, "well, you're argument is false because I'm calling you a stupidhead."  It would have held just as much weight.  The argument against contraception DOES NOT HOLD WATER.  People choose to sin through contraception because something is more important than self control, more important than total self-giving love, and more important than openness to God and complete trust in Him.  What's more important?  Self, that's who.

Thank God for priests who are not afraid to call sin what it is.  God, raise up more men like Father Euteneuer who will stand firm on principles of right and wrong, who will not back down in the face of public ridicule, and who will do so with charity.  I've met good priests like this.  They are out there.  Let's ask God for more, and let's ask God to strengthen those men who just need the push to regain that fire and passion for truth.  God, revive your people.  Continue to renew your Church.  Grant that we will be bold for the faith.

Blessed Mary, Ever Virgin, pray for us.  Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us.
