Even an average housewife, with an average husband, average children, and living in an average neighborhood, cannot help but recognize that one cannot banish evil by refusing to know it's there. Keeping Red China out of the U.N. only tends to increase their resentment and stall any progress toward disarmament...

As he sees it, the argument in favor of birth control is based on the secular notion that society "must forever banish from the face of the earth hunger, misfortune, juvenile crime, social revolution and wars-since all these are a consequence of overpopulation." Said the archbishop: "This argument may be correct, but it is entirely negative." Childbirth, he added, is a "duty binding on all-not to avoid children, but to care for them in the nurture and admonition...
