[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up with 8 kids in my family (pre birth control). Back then, the Catholic Church told women if the husband wanted sex, it was their duty to have it. They were told "God will provide". If you haven't grown up in a big family you have no idea how hard it is. You are on your own. We were basic middle class...dad made "too much" for college loans but he would not pay even one dime for us to go to college. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

For those here bragging about having so many kids post birth control ...you are out of your minds. and, you are killing the environment having so many people.[/quote]

How old are you? I own several Catholic marriage manuals from the era before the Pill and none of the mention that. My parents also married right as the Pill was released and my mom remembers a nursing sister (nun) telling the young wives in the natural family plan course to avoid the pill because the hormones would blunt their desire for their husbands. Until recently, people thought that was hooey from the Church, but now that non-religious women are complaining, people are listening. [/quote]
