Wow! Glad you could find the link.
I have to admit that the discussion on that thread is much more “high-brow” than what I’m used to seeing on the religion forum these days.
Wow! Thanks. 2003, a bit before my time. Didn’t join FR until 05, didn’t know about them until the forged memos of 04.
Highbrow....not a word I would use for the RF. Which is why I rarely get involved.
I scanned the thread, very interesting.
One thing that stood out, without me reading too deeply, that won’t happen until kiddos are sleeping, was the brief discussion of education of children. One poster maintained that wasn’t a legitimate reason for postponing pregnancy, based upon Pius XII’s address to the midwives. But it seems to me, that standard isn’t necessarily available now. The need to homeschool didn’t exist at the time of Pius’ address. And the duty to properly educate your children can be effected by how many there are.
There’s a lot of food for thought that the laity really needs to have addresses.
