[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Open to children" is Catholic Speak. Why anyone today would cede over their uterus to the Catholic Church is beyond me. I think that bunch squandered their moral authority a long time ago by protecting pedophiles and allowing them to abuse more and more innocent children, not to mention their fundamental disprect of women. Encouraging women to bear children until their innards fall out is madness. [/quote]

It's not just Catholic.  There are several other religions that encourage "openness" to children.[/quote]

Every world religion revered fertility as a gift from God until some Christian churches broke away in the 1930s, during the heyday of eugenics, when the intelligentsia wanted to restrict the fertility of the "unfit" and encourage the fertility of the "fit."

The term "birth control" originally meant controlling the births of the unfit, not individual women making the choice to control how often they gave birth.

Being "open to life" means the unitative and procreative aspects of sex cannot be separated, and that is still the teaching of orthodox Christians, Muslims, and Jews.
