So those of us who were and are sterile (by the will of God) are what?
Dead already?
Not at all. Western culture is spread and defended by more than reproduction.
However, a certain critical mass of reproduction is necessary.
My pastor is celibate, but he has done a yeoman's job of encouraging an ardently pro-life parish to the extent that one-third of our parish's living baotizands are under 10 years of age.
He has done his part admirably by ceaselessly teaching and instructing people in the West's heritage of Christian doctrine, sacred music and art, and Latin literature.
He has created a community that believes in the future, is proud of its past and lives with solidarity and mutual assistance.
Quite an achievement.
