This the most complete and utter nonsense that I have heard in days. Not
one word of it is even remotely close to true. This is a great example of
using an argument like a bus, getting off at your stop.

This argument *definitely* has the consequence that it is immoral for a
couple to have sex when that sex could not result in children. It denies it
does, but provides no reason whatsoever. It claims that having sex without
contraception when children cannot result doesn't have the consequences
that using contraception to achieve the exact same result does, but
provides absolutely no justification for this claim.

It simply stops the argument and swears that it doesn't go any further.

I presume Catholics believe that people who are infertile are not allowed
to ever marry or have sex?

What's the most amusing is this purports to be a non-religious argument
(saying that contraception is not inherently immoral). IMO, when you make
non-religious shit up to reach the conclusion you believe for religious
reasons, it's still a religious argument.
