I just disagree with the notion that remaining childless (intentionally) is in and of itself some kind of sin, which several posters on this thread have been saying.
It all depends on the motive. What if one remains childless simply so they can continue to alley-cat around? Or if one remains childless so they can buy a nicer car or live in a nicer neighborhood? (Do you recall that NY Times article by a NY feminist who had two of her triplets aborted specifically so she wouldn't have to move to Hoboken and shop at Costco?)
If one remains childless because they become a nun, none would dare call that sinful.

And you really see those two scenarios as moral equivalents????
