I will never forget my beloved MIL dumping on a priest for not "allowing" birth control. She had 5 children and went to bed hungry many a time. And the Vatican sits on billions of dollars (in money and objects), but insists that followers should not use birth control.
But when they start sticking their noses into people's personal business, it's time to kick them to the curb.
A lady I worked with told me one time about a Catholic friend of hers who, long ago, was visited by the Parish Priest one day. He made it pretty clear that she was not doing her job as a "good Catholic" to add new Catholics to the fold because she only had two children.
Needless to say, she was highly annoyed and the priest was lucky to be thrown out of her home without personal injury to himself, that's how pissed she was.
