He said, "Be fruitful and multiply". The church added "without end"

Bingo. If I marry and have just one child, there - I've multiplied! What I want to know is why every last Catholic parent-wannabe isn't told to be in bed, copulating 24/7, to avoid wasting even one sperm cell.

I highly recommend taking a Natural Family Planning class. You would soon realize how silly that statement is.

You haven't heard of the practice of Natural Family Planning, it would seem. Please check out the posted link.

That's another throwaway response, to avoid addressing the real issues.

Read what Martin Luther said about contraception sometime. For heaven's sake, read what Mahatma Gandhi, not even a Christian but a virtuous pagan, said after the Anglicans caved to culture in 1930 and approved contraception.

Actually, you haven't multiplied because two (you and your wife) have become one (your child.) If you have three, then you've multiplied. A society needs to have a birth rate of 2.0 to sustain itself. Russia has a birth rate of 1.3 and will see its population cut in half by 2050.
