When will the world realize that Malthus was wrong?
Sadly, even many Catholics don't adhere to the Church's teaching on contraception. My wife, who is pregnant with our second child (due next March), was asked by a Catholic woman yesterday why she hadn't used contraception!

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
