The definition of a 'quiverfull family' is:- Quiverfull is a theological position held by some conservative Christian couples belonging to various Christian denominations, that sees children as a blessing from God. It thus encourages procreation, abstaining from all forms of birth control (including natural family planning) and sterilization.
As you can imagine I think it is crazy for a woman to keep producing children, it isn't good for her health, and could affect the family's bank balance badly. Besides which, how on earth can you provide the love and attention each child has the right to expect, if you have a large number of children? I haven't actually met any 'quiverfull families' and hope there are very few. I have met quite a number of Catholics who have no more than a couple of kids, and I very much doubt they are celibate.
Are there any posters who believe in the 'quiverfull' dogma?
