I respect your position. The Catholics have been very nice to my family while my daughter attends a Catholic girl's school.
The verse I quoted is a commandment from the old testament given by God to Adam and Eve. I realize Catholic doctrine does not recognize it as a commandment for all. There is much good in the Catholic and Evangelical movements however the Catholics have been much more tolerant than the Evangelicals who would not allow my daughter to attend their school.

Sorry, I assumed that you were of some Christian upbringing. The gospel of Matthew and Paul's letter to the Ephesians are part of the Christian bible. Christians regard the New Testament as fulfilling and revealing the Old. In that view, when Christ says that "he one who can accept this should accept it" he is confirming for the Apostles and clarifying for us how the command in the Old Testament applied. He did not contradict the command to be fruitful and multiply, but made it clear there are other callings in peoples lives that fulfill God's will.
