Fruit
They keeping preaching "they will know you by your fruit" and "you must surrender all!"
I agree.
I internalize.
My answer to why...
it finally dawned on me!!
Theology begins with the body.
“The root principle of birth-control is unsound. It is a glorification of the means and a contempt of the end; it says that the pleasure which is a means to the procreation of children is good, but the children themselves are no good. In other words, to be logical, the philosophy of birth-control would commit us to a world in which trees were always blooming but never giving fruit, a world full of sign-posts that were leading nowhere. In this cosmos every tree would be a barren fig tree and for that reason would have upon it the curse of God.”
-- Archbishop Fulton Sheen
