Peter wrote:

Hi, guys —

A woman told me, that when she was in college a few years ago, she was taking the Pill for hormone therapy.

She said her parish priest criticized her even though she wasn't sexually active.

  • I don't believe she did anything wrong; am I right?

Peter

  { Is there anything wrong with taking the pill for hormone therapy if she wasn't sexually active? }

Fr. Francis replied:

Hi, Peter —

Yes, the pill is often used for other physical therapies.

In this case, the woman was doing nothing wrong since it was a prescription drug and she wasn't sexually active.

As a side note: I do have some hesitation how physically safe the pill is, even for these cases.

Fr. Francis
