(Part 2); many sacrifices were made to make it all work... I wouldn't change one iota of it, nor would I change my decision to get "snipped" to prevent further procreation of new life. (This decision aided by a parish priest as I alluded to above; although I would have likely done it anyway as the best decision for our family.)  How anyone can perceive this as "denying another the opportunity of life" is far beyond me, given that my wife and I already had as many children as we had hands to clothe and feed them. 

Further, Kevin, for you to imply that our decision "is sinful and this is known innately by mankind" is not only insulting but it is equally ludicrous. Are you not aware that Catholics use contraception at about the same rate as other faith traditions and secular society as a whole? HV is "bunk" for the very reasons I stated above, but you have bought it hook, line & sinker because celibate Roman prelates have decreed it. (Cont to part 3).
