Her motive is to obey God. Temporal advantages certainly do follow from the observance of God's law, but those advantages are not the primary motive of the prohibition of birth-control. The Church cannot water down God's law to suit the passions of men; she must lift men to the observance of God's law. Whatever timeserving concessions other Churches may make, the Catholic Church stands for the law of God because it is the law of God.

In this context, that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

If the Church was into money-grubbing, She would encourage small families. With small families, there would be more money available to donate to the Church. With large families, less money is available for donation, as it is being used to rear the children in those families.
