Comments?

And they've gotten used to the comments from outsiders, such as, "Do you know what causes this?"

I got that when I was on my third pregnancy. Some people are so ignorant and rude that they should not be let outside unattended.

Never heard of “quiverfull” until I watched the Duggar tv show.

I think it’s great to have as many children as one wants and can support. I have 4, wanted 10 or as many as I could have, but after 4 high risk births and 4 c-sections, that was enough for my body. If I ever happen to get pregnant again, fine, but certainly not trying to.

Wow - these folks are finally rejecting the relatively novel Protestant theology (invented in the early 20th century) that led to the worldwide embrace of birth control by all but devout Catholics. It's nice to see "bible Christians" once again embracing Catholic doctrinal interpretations regarding birth control.

I love these protestants! They take one verse from Psalms (not to mention Anthony Trollope) and make a “movement” out of it, with virtually no theological underpinnings but some seemingly innate sense of God’s will for them.

Then we Catholics have one of the most beautiful Papal writings elaborating in brilliant detail this exact same idea, “Humanae Vitae” (and more recently the “Theology of the Body”) and what happens? Bishops protest it, the people ignore it, no one discusses it, the Church dwindles, parishes close, schools close, vocations drop.
