Good morning, Michael! You must not have been raised Catholic. the Church didn't "create an atmosphere encouraging children to be born" nor was it an individual's decision. It was God's law- sex is for procreation, and you were committing a mortal sin to take any measures to thwart this. It was as heavyduty an indoctrination as any Castro carries out. When you are raised from birth believing that you will burn in hell for using birth control of any sort, when you're not educated, or exposed to other ways of thinking, there is no decision to be made. In the same way you fear one small boy will be brainwashed, the Church brainwashed and kept submissive its people for a thousand years. As we grew more educated, as women began to question the patriarchy of religion and society, we began to be able to loosen the chains. I was blessed to have a wonderfully irreverent father who never met a religion (or anything else) he couldn't make fun of, which mitigated the impact of the indoctrination. BUt it still did a lot of damage. I can't imagine what being raised in a household with two hardcore believers would be like, and in a time when no one asked questions.
