From EWTN's The Journey Home with Scott & Kimberly Hahn 9/6/2010:  Kimberly shares how she was "jealous of Mary" because whenever she had difficult discussions with Scott about the intention of becoming Catholics, Scott would have "a lovely little walk with Mary" and pray the rosary. Her father who is a Presbyterian pastor reminded her of the prayer "Lord I will go wherever you want me to go, I will say whatever you want me to say and I will give away whatever you want me to give away."  > Watch the Clip

A Lie in the Language of Love excerpted from Swear to God: The Promise and Power of the Sacraments by Scott Hahn:  "Return with me, for a moment, to the early 1980s, when Kimberly and I were newlyweds. Ardent Presbyterians, we both were studying theology at a conservative evangelical seminary.

The curriculum was demanding; money was tight; and we, like all our married friends, were using contraceptives. Children would have to wait till we were ready, financially and otherwise. In the meantime, artificial birth control allowed us the pleasure of what we considered "normal" marital relations. We thought of it as an extended honeymoon.

During our second year at seminary, however, Kimberly discovered the lie that was at the root of our married life. In research for an ethics course, she found that, until 1930, Christian churches-without exception-condemned contraception in the strongest terms."  > Read More
