The government is going to put videos on YouTube to educate immigrants about sex. Until the 1970s, Catholics received private information from the pastor at home.
A now eighty-year-old Limburger remembers well that he and his wife had to talk to a "very old pastor" when they got married in 1954. He said:“And remember, not a drop must be lost!”. “We were both very happy when that was over,” said the octogenarian.
Even after the wedding, the pastor made regular home visits to ask about the family expansion. God intended marriage to produce as many offspring as possible. Sex was obligatory within marriage and prohibited outside.
Large families were the ideal. That is why the Catholic Association for Large Families had the film Levensgang made in 1938. More than 25,000 visitors heard texts such as:“A source of power is the large family, full of entrepreneurial spirit and warmth of life, and the music of hungry children's stomachs.”
Most Catholics listened obediently and continued to have children. Only when Bishop Bekkers said on television in 1963 that the family size was "a matter of conscience of married people", with which the clergy had no involvement, did they go on the pill en masse. It had made its appearance a year earlier and was also called "something delicious from Bekkers". The large families disappeared like snow in the sun. Hopefully the “candy from YouTube” will also have a similar effect on teenage pregnancy rates and sexually transmitted diseases among immigrants.
