The Catholic Church is the only major Christian sect that I know of that has such an unenlightened view of sex (i.e. that it's EVIL and only for babies).

Please, educate yourself on what the Church actually teaches. You are going on hearsay. You have NO idea what you're talking about. Which leads you to say such an embarrassing statement such as this (which only shows your bigotry against the Catholic Church):

I consider elderly men who criticize women for only having two children so that they can have a career or go back to school to be the ignorant ones.

Again, for your sake, so that you can regain some credibility (aren't conservatives supposed to use their reasoning skills better than liberals?) go read what the Church really teaches.

Of course, you could say to me that you don't have time to do that or that you already know what it teaches. To which I will re-iterate, the Church will continue to speak against the rampant and deep-seated self-love that you clearly demonstrate by your statements.

A good place to start is Humanae Vitae. I'll even provide the link for you: click here. I challenge you to read it and then come back here and make some substantive points.

If you don't want to do that, then may you be happy in your ignorance.

I went to Catholic school for twelve years, and that is what I was taught in school (i.e. that sex is EVIL and only serves a creative purpose). This has been the Catholics' view of sex since St. Augustine and is at odds with how most Protestant sects (including Evangelicals) view sex within marriage.

As for the Church's view of women, I do believe that they're very much against modern working women. As anyone working in the corporate world will tell you, having more than two children will kill your career. True a company has to hold a woman's job for her, but being on maternity leave seven times in ten years will definitely kill any promotional opportunities in the workplace. Nor could a mother with seven small children think about going back to school to get an advanced degree.
