My name is Michael D. King. I was born and raised in San Antonio, as was my beloved wife. We attended Catholic schools, were raised in Catholic homes and were so poorly formed by what I call “post-Vatican II mis-conceptualizism” that I am amazed and thankful to almighty God that the voice of Truth still found its way into our marriage.

I need to tell you a few things that may make it easier to understand my legitimacy in addressing you about these issues:

Neither my wife nor myself completed our undergraduate studies in college – so we don’t have college degrees.

We live in a small home (1800 sq. ft.) and we rely on one income (and I work for the Church so it’s not a very large income).

I’m what’s called a Facilities Manager – I’m assuming most suburban parishes have one. Which means, while I am not a janitor per se, I am one employee’s sick call away from being a janitor. 

My wife and I were married in 1986 and our first child – a girl was born 11 months later. Our next child – a boy - was born 24 months after that. So, by the time we had been married three years, we had our boy and our girl and like most American Catholics –  while never using artificial contraception - we “closed up shop” using NFP.

And then something happened… and four years later, we had another little girl.

By the time we had been married seven years, we had two children, then in the next seven years, we had five more. By the time we had been married 20 years, we had 10 kids. We had our 11th child in June of 2010. Six girls and five boys and we can't imagine life without every single one of them!

Our eldest daughter BTW, graduated from the University of Dallas, is married and expecting her second child. We are grand-parents!

I should also mention that, after 24 hours of labor with our first child, it was determined that my wife has what ObGyn’s call CPD (Cephalopelvic Disproportion) that’s where the babies head is supposedly too large to fit through the birth canal.

It’s diagnosed a lot these days, because difficult births can be diagnosed this way and then the best alternative is to perform a C-section, and more than half of all births now are performed by c-section. Because nobody wants more than two kids nowadays it’s of little consequence.

So my wife did not just deliver her 11th child in her late 40's but she delivered all 11 of them by C-section. Imagine, if you will, having the same organ removed from your body, opened up, cleaned out, sewed up and then re-inserted back into your body, 11 times over a 23 year period of time.

The reason I ‘m telling you these things about us, is because so many of the reasons that are given as to why additional children are not born – no college degree, not enough income, too small a house, difficult pregnancies… we are living through and are very, very happy in our married life.

Our life is hard – but our life is full, good, true and has great purpose.

I don't know anyone who is more in love than my wife and myself.

We have learned through our family and our openness to life that the key to happiness is to understand God’s will and to make it your will.

Thank you all for visiting this site and for attempting to learn the truth.
