This sort of data keeps cropping up in the Cardinal stories. Our Cardinal Rigali is one of seven.

That's why you have to read Pope Pius XII's "Address to Large Families." He makes the same point that large families are the cradle of vocations. But if you only have 1 boy and 1 girl, then parents won't want to sacrifice them to vocations.

I wholeheartedly agree. And I do not accept that two children is okay or sufficient for 99% of the married popualtion.
