As the figure above shows, liberal Protestant denominations appear to be facing a dire situation.

Hallelujah!

Many young men and young women nowadays do not see marriage and family as important life goals.

Many young men and women delay marriage and get married later and have children later, if they have children at all.

And when the couples who do have children ,finally do have children, they will have fewer children in their fertile lifetimes, than they would have in previous generations.

How do we change people’s attitudes about marriage and family?

The future has always been created by men, for better or worse the males of the world saw futures they wanted, family legacies, the permanence of their peoples, the greatness of their nation or tribe, offspring and ancestors meant something, future generations meant something, men tend to think they impact the future, women are interested in the now, for themselves and their immediate comfort and stability.

In a feminized society of woman raised children and female run institutions, education and politics, the individual’s view of life and human existence shrinks and their world becomes small and focused on themselves and their oneness, their comfort and easiness of life, some start questioning the burden of carrying a child and delivering one and raising one, some today are even questioning the burden of a permanent male being a part of their comfortable little micro life.

Children and husbands are no longer something to aspire to but possible disruptions and unwanted challenges in what are tidy, simple little lives focused on perfect harmony in one’s own structured, unchallenging life where the highlights are more self-indulgence, self-pampering and the purity of one’s own unchallenged thoughts and emotions.

Children and husbands are introducing unknown humans into your bubble and without question bring a degree of chaos and constant newness to the princess and the pea world and require self-sacrifice for the group.

Some of this was evidenced in the decades of women who submitted to their biological impulse for children but then limited them in number and did it without accepting the adult human who was their father, children as better versions of pets, something to come home to and adore them but manageable for many years, in time some women decide not to bother with those distractions at all, a nice wardrobe serves them better.

Catholics, Christians need to come out of the heresy of contraception. It is fatal to faith as those with guilty consciences start avoiding church and God. “For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come towards the light so his works might not be exposed (John 3:20).” The anti-life contraception mindset leads to abortion as a backup form of contraception. Sex only for pleasure sets the stage for so-called gay marriage which leads to gender theory. The passions set loose through sex without responsibility leads to fatherlessness, the destruction of the family and angry violent young people. Christians who opened a crack for contraception at Lambeth in 1930 did a foolish thing. Catholics started going along with it big time in the 60s. The reason a second term for Trump will not result in large numbers of deportations, maybe just a few for show, is because we’re gonna need the people. Contraception and abortion can result in breast cancer, psychological problems, internal injuries and infertility. Contraception slowly destroys societies!
