For all the complaining about the Church focusing on "pelvic issues" to the detriment of social justice, there would be less poverty if folks had an ethic of waiting until marriage to have sex and make babies, instead of seeing mothers with children by many different fathers who drop out of the picture. It never occurs to the liberal Catholics that practicing chastity can enable one to avoid poverty. And the importance of fathers and intact families makes the whole situation with AL all the more maddening...as if mom's new husband or cohabitation partner can replace one's biological father. So many folks are emotionally damaged by their parents inability to keep a family unit intact.
