[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe he could explain to me, then, why I’ve never been able to have the baby that I’ve been desperately praying for? It has been five heartbreaking years of this struggle. Is God listening? Am I undeserving? These are rhetorical questions, but I write them here to make the point: these words about selfishness are destructive and cruel. If he didn’t mean for his words to apply to people in my situation, maybe he could think a little more carefully about his words. I feel even worse after reading this even though I know intellectually that it’s ridiculous. [/quote] +1, a dear family friend struggled for over ten years with infertility. I am no longer Catholic but this just is infuriating. My friend did have a baby finally but the pregnancy was very hard and she had to be hospitalized twice due to bleeding. They were lucky and only had a short nicu stay. But to hear a male celibate preach “just have more babies!” Is so painful to so many. [/quote]
