::No it doesn’t amount to that proposition. It means that a couple shouldn’t actively shouldn’t try to obstruct procreation by using a form of contraception. Any period of the menstrual cycle would be an acceptable time, as long as the couple weren’t deliberately avoiding certain periods in order to prevent children resulting. I don’t see how it collapses into St Augustine’s view – there is a procreative purpose to sex and a unitive (uniting husband and wife in a loving act). Marital union and pleasure is a worthy fruit of that intercourse, but only if they're not actively divorced from openness to procreation. I don’t know what you mean by “raise the procreative purpose to become a necessary condition to marriage?” I think an openness and desire for children is a necessary condition for marriage (and an act of sex) in this view, however fertility may not be.--[[User:Gmharvey|Gmharvey]] ([[User talk:Gmharvey|talk]]) 08:09, June 27, 2018 (UTC)
