The Catholicism my parents (and your grandparents) were raised with

Pope Francis: not having children is selfish

And, anyway, any form of sex without "openness to" having kids is always a mortal sin.

No matter how you try to package it, this is what Catholics, believing or unbelieving, church-going or "lapsed" and "fallen away," think of as The Old Time Religion.

Whatever his alleged sympathies with Liberation Theology and however much that annoys the American right, however soft his patter about gays and however much that pleases the left, this pope is about the old stuff.
