“The root principle of birth-control is
unsound. It is a glorification of the means and a contempt of the end;
it says that the pleasure which is a means to the procreation of
children is good, but the children themselves are no good. In other
words, to be logical, the philosophy of birth-control would commit us to
a world in which trees were always blooming but never giving fruit, a
world full of sign-posts that were leading nowhere. In this cosmos
every tree would be a barren fig tree and for that reason would have
upon it the curse of God.”
- Archbishop Fulton Sheen
