No surprise about the Catholic church. I was raised Catholic, and we were told to have no sex until marriage (or we go to hell) and when we are married to have as many children as God intends. (I was one of five just in case anyone out there cares) I do not see them changing this stance anytime soon. Most of my friends who are still Catholic have used birth control and are only having as many kids as they want. I don’t know how common this trend is in my generation though.
I was raised Catholic and I’m only one of two, so…
I’ve read that people who come from a Catholic legacy are more liberal when it comes to that kind of thing than people who convert. People who convert are way more evangelical about the whole thing (see, Rick Santorum). It’s just what I’ve read. I don’t know what the data is behind it, but it seems right from my experience.
