Wow! What a debate you enter into here. Your writing is fascinating and you have researched the subject really thoroughly. Your views are coloured by your faiths, but they are always worth sharing and discussing, especially for this 'protestant' worshipper.

Thanks for your review, JSD. Kevin and I give you an "inside view" or how the Vatican's preoccupation with sex has the result of dividing families and discrediting the teaching authority of the Church. Needless to say, the bible has nothing to say about NFP or about modern contraceptives. It was only in the late 1800s that the ovum was discovered and the fertility cycle within the womb was understood.
Peace and joy,
Aaron

Dear Carlos' girl,
Thanks for your kind words of appreciation. In thinking about the story, I remembered Pope Francis. So, in an attempt to be more complete, I inserted the Pope into my story. You can find it there right in the middle. 200 words added.

What a sport
Comment from royowen
You had me thinking of Abraham and Sarah, and that story of the promise of the line of promise, in which Sarah decided to give Hod a hand and gave her servant Hagar to Abraham, what a stuff up that was, if she'd have truly waited and had faith and believed that God would come through, perhaps we would have one less religion on our hands, beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy

Right on, Roy. Our ancestors didn't just pray when they encountered sterility. They went into action.
In my own family, a sister conceived and birthed a child for her dear, sterile sister. You don't hear about this sort of thing today.

Well done
Comment from Douglas Goff
Well, well, well this is a little more romance than the reader expects!
How very personal and quiet . . . Interesting.
I think a person could drive themselves crazy trying to decipher the intentions of God. Better just to have faith that he has you in his hands.
Good read!

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
What a fascinating story, all so well constructed with pace so that I felt engaged all the way through. The debate between yourself and your brother was an intriguing one whereby I came down clearly on your side. But once someone's mind is made up and closed there's nothing you can do-hence the cancel culture you see today. However, you actually took the matter on board and compellingly proved a point yet still conceding that 'God's miracle' had taken place (with the help of human decisions). It's all about perspective and philosophy on life. I'd still rather have yours and hope I do because I firmly believe things happen for a purpose. There are some small edits: para starting: But Kevin was not consoled... - boasted of becoming a Providentialist; para starting When my brother - Even when (you're) wrong; It may be worth proof-reading in case there are any more. Thanks for sharing your very unique and intelligent write. Your research and particularly your inclusion of Pope Francis' dialogue on this subject add much weight to an already very impressive read. Love "Every belief works in the eyes of the believer" Also small edit: para starting: There he finally said it - "Even when (you're) wrong. Well done! Debbie

Dear Debbie,
Thanks for your kind words of appreciation. I tried to correct your "edits." Found a few more. Look at the rewrite if you get a chance.

Yes, I've read it and added to my review. My only concern is that whether voters will consider this falls under the category of "Romance" because there is so much more diverting attention. Though I fully accept the force and devotion behind your relationship.
-
Debbie,
I agree with you entirely. The way that "romance" is defined; however, includes my submission. In any case, I'm committed now. Let's see what happens.
Thanks for your commenting that "your inclusion of Pope Francis' dialogue on this subject add much weight." I wasn't sure about this, but now I find that it fits into this family quarrel.
Peace and joy,
Aaron
