Margaret Sanger, “The Pope's Position on Birth Control”, The Nation, (Jan. 27, 1932) [Vol. 135, No. 3473]: 102-104

Assuming that God does not want an increasing number of worshipers of the Catholic faith, does he also want an increasing number of feeble-minded, insane, criminal, and diseased worshipers? That is unavoidable if the Pope is obeyed, because, as we shall see, he forbids every single method of birth control except continence, a method which the feeble-minded, insane, and criminal will not use.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Assuming that God does not want an increasing number of worshipers of the Catholic faith, does he also want an increasing number of feeble-minded, insane, criminal, and diseased worshipers? That is unavoidable if the Pope is obeyed, because, as we shall see, he forbids every single method of birth control except continence, a method which the feeble-minded, insane, and criminal will not use." in the context of "Margaret Sanger, “The Pope's Position on Birth Control”, The Nation, (Jan. 27, 1932) [Vol. 135, No. 3473]: 102-104" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
