“Wantedness:” What Our Culture Claims Babies Must Possess in Order to Exist

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.”

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?”

July 14, 2015 By Kevin Kukla 14 Comments

marital duty

Quite often, at least in my experience, broaching this topic causes a lot of consternation. Frequently, wives feel defensive about how often they allow their husbands to have sex with them. But the command in 1 Corinthians extends further than just that.
