9. I'm Catholic

and every Catholic couple I know practices artificial birth control despite the Vatican calling it 'evil'. In today's society very few people can afford more then two kids and will not have endless kids to satisfy the Church.

I have a sister in law that had faithful Catholic parents 53 years ago and the mother gave birth to 16 children. They lived in poverty and when my sister in law was granted a scholarship to go to college her parents turned it down, she was 17, because her place was in the home having babies.
