[quote=Anonymous][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.

The Catholic church teaches in a million different ways that the primary and most holy calling for women is to be a mother. While at the same time, they offer virtually no spiritual or concrete support for infertile couples and forbid most of the methods that would actually allow a woman to become a mother.
It's diabolical and one of the primary reasons I am not Episcopalian.[/quote]

That should be "now Episcopalian" not "not Episcopalian"  Stupid typos. [/quote]
