- My mother's friend who had had 7 children once went to the priest asking
- what she could possibly do to avoid having more children, because she
- was becoming quite frail. She was told that not only was contraception
- not an option (naturally) but that refusal of her husband's advances
- was a sin (so the rhyth... I mean NFP was not an option either). She got
- pregnant again and nearly died as a result. She left the Church thereafter,
- and then her husband when she was sure her finances would be OK.
