From LifesiteNews:

Catholic couples who undergo marriage preparation based on the teachings of the Church are drastically more likely to agree to abstain until marriage and use Natural Family Planning (NFP), suggests a survey of Catholic couples participating in an online preparation course.

While 90-95% of engaged Catholic couples are believed to be sexually active before marriage, 76% of couples who took the Catholic Marriage Prep Online course signed a pledge card to remain abstinent until marriage. 22% said they “want to discuss the matter further,” while only 2% said they would not abstain.

Also, 72% of couples said they would practice NFP, a natural method of spacing births, with 5% refusing outright. About 80% of all Catholic couples use artificial contraception, which is opposed to Church teaching.

The statistics cited above serve as a very strong indictment against the Catholic Church in the United States. Other than Colorado Springs, how many dioceses take the sexual revolution seriously? The estimate of 95% of engaged couples being sexually active should be setting of alarm bells for all our bishops.
