December 9, 2019 By Kevin Kukla Leave a Comment

wantedness

“‘Wantedness’ was originally a term coined to describe a mother’s attitude toward the birth of a child.

“Sociologists decided that the degree to which a birth was wanted could be measured by accounting for less than perfect timing, less than perfect finances, or simply emotional hesitancy on the part of the mother.

“Yet its wider applications had more to do with phenomenology than with science.

“It could describe a person’s value in the social economy and the environmental factors limiting that value.”

4 Reasons You Cannot Oppose Abortion AND Use Birth Control

October 29, 2019 By Kevin Kukla 4 Comments

“Certainly, from the moral point of view contraception and abortion are specifically different evils: the former contradicts the full truth of the sexual act as the proper expression of conjugal love, while the latter destroys the life of a human being; the former is opposed to the virtue of chastity in matrimony, the latter is opposed to the virtue of justice and directly violates the divine commandment ‘You shall not kill.’ But despite their differences of nature and moral gravity, contraception and abortion are often closely connected, as fruits of the same tree” (Evangelium Vitae, 13, March 25, 1995, emphasis added).

What Does It Mean to Give Oneself Away?

June 17, 2019 By Kevin Kukla Leave a Comment

give oneself away

If marital intercourse, therefore, expresses a unique relationship and union, this derives not from the sharing of a sensation but from the sharing of a power – of a sexual power that is complementary and extraordinary, and which is extraordinary precisely in virtue of its life-relatedness.

Catholic Priest: Family Planning Efforts Coincide with “Anti-Values”

June 3, 2019 By Kevin Kukla Leave a Comment

anti-values

, “One frequently comes across statements to the effect that ‘family planning or limitation is more easily accepted by people as they get better educated.’ Whether we realize it or not, to admit such statements unquestionably is to concede a whole philosophy of life.

“A very particular type of education thoroughly imbued with a very particular kind of values (or rather of anti-values), is necessary before people are brought to the point of easily accepting family limitation.

“Can such education be regarded as Christian education? Can it be regarded as true education at all?”

Should You Get Married If You Are Not Ready to Start a Family?

May 27, 2019 By Kevin Kukla Leave a Comment

ready to start a family

Instead, the culture has convinced multiple generations in a row now that limited family size is best for all involved. It is supposed to lead to more personal happiness for all couples, too. After all, with few or zero kids around, couples can more easily afford fancier vehicles, a bigger house, more technological gadgets, more vacations, and so forth.

But does it? Does getting married without being ready to start a family lead to personal happiness and fulfillment?

son and his husband

Baby Uma has come into this world with a preconceived notion of what a family ought to be. It is written into our human nature: children have a right to be raised by their own mother and father.

Why is the Catholic Church Against Contraception? Look No Further Than the First Commandment

July 22, 2018 By Kevin Kukla Leave a Comment

Church against contraception

Irreligion can be broken down into three categories. I will attempt to show how using contraception violates each subcategory of irreligion. In effect, I will show how using contraception violates the First Commandment, as a result. Hopefully this will help answer the question why is the Catholic Church against contraception.
