cause of our joy: The Decline of the big American Catholic family
Leticia describes the joy of a large family!

"The smaller Irish-American family has been attributed to many factors, but the one most often cited is a decline in willingness to defer to the Roman Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s. “The church’s guidance on all kinds of things, including family planning, doesn’t carry the weight it used to carry,” said Terry Golway, a writer who teaches American history at Kean University in New Jersey.
In New York, the migration of the Irish middle class from the city to the suburbs contributed to the decline of the double-digit family, he said. “Their world was not defined by the parish as it once was, when they lived in the Bronx,” Professor Golway said. “They moved to the suburbs, where it really was a melting pot. Not everybody on your block was Irish anymore.”'

The more children, the more love -- An interview with a mother of 20
Last year, I got my proverbial butt kicked by suggesting to a fellow blogger after her public diatribe on why she was deliberately only going to have one child (after 9 years of infertility- go figure)that she might be making a big mistake. So it was refreshing and affirming to read this interview from a mom of 20 children who has found large family life to be a blessing to her as a woman, and strengthening her walk with the Lord.
