I’m glad my dad chose the way he did or I wouldn’t exist. Like I said before this isn’t an issue that would cause me to leave the church either way. Just my opinion. The birth control issue is also tough. We have 2 children, my wife was pregnant with our second the whole time I was in Iraq. It was very tough on her at home being pregnant and already taking care of our 1-year-old while I was gone for 15 months. I’ll be deploying again in less than a year and my wife says she can’t handle another pregnancy while I’m gone. I guess alot of true blue Catholics think God wouldn’t understand that and we still shouldn’t use birth control. I’ll take my chances with God when I meet him on that one.
