...only under unusual circumstances should people not have children, and cursed with those circumstances, it seems to me that those people are flawed or diminished in light of those in better waters, so to speak.
Those who partake not in it (let alone those who rend it, may God have mercy on their souls) are left out of a great joy of mankind, for whatever reason, and are thus flawed.
This is what people have been saying about priests not being allowed to have children for a long time.

I can't say one way or the other whether such a thing is prudent, but it is assuredly holy.
