How do you deal with the unpleasant comments of people everywhere, including your family members and friends about the size of your family? They almost make me feel guilty everytime with such comments like I'm doing something wrong just for being pregnant.
If they are married with few children just tell them that they are going to hell for using birth control.
I wouldn't assume EVERY couple with a small family contracepts. There could be underlying medical issues or other factors, i.e. pregnancy being very difficult for them, that limit family sizes.
Indeed. I know a couple at my chapel that has been married for four years. They have been blessed with one child, but have also suffered two miscarriages. People have made suggestions that they are using contraception, and it is devastating to the poor wife.
I hope those sorry excuses for Catholics confess their sins of rash judgment in the confessional. Do they think rash judgment doesn't exist? Or are they so busy they don't ever think about their spiritual lives or examine their consciences?
I'm sorry, but there's something naturally repugnant about hypocrisy and gossip. For one thing, it's a sin of malice, not weakness.
Getting drunk, fighting, fornication, angry outbursts, revenge -- they are sins of passion, which we humans with fallen human nature are vulnerable to. The devils don't have bodies, so they could never commit these sins.
Blasphemy, envy, bearing false witness, slander, rash judgment -- those require malice, which is something we CAN share with the devils. The devils have malice, and so can we.
So yes, sins of malice are worse in a way, because they are more "purely evil" and could even be described as demonic.
What does it profit a person to think the worst of another human being? It puffs up our pride. Again, that's an issue the devils also struggle with. Welcome to the club.
