In the middle of the 20th century, when the average Catholic family had four or five kids and many had ten or more, parents had no problem with one or two of their children entering the religious or monastic life.

Their other children would get married and have the grandkids.

But with the advent of mass contraception and the precious decade that the Church lost in fighting it, the average Catholic family now has two or three children and many have one.

Contraception killed vocations.

I always knew that contraception kills babies (the pill, IUD), relationships, etc. But I hadn't thought about how it killed vocations! You are so right!

I do have one friend who was only able to have one son, and he is a priest with the Legionaires.
