 \nThe problem of marital chastity becomes ever more difficult notonly on account of the conditions in modern civilization that our writersgraphically describe,but ironically enough because of medical advances.For instance,a woman who in a less advanced century would have diedwith her first baby is kept alive,but medical warnings of the dangerof future pregnancies force the sincere Catholic couple to make thedifficult choice of practicing abstention or endangering the wife's life.Likewise reduction of infant mortality leaves parents to face the pros-pect of raising and educating(usually)all the children they bring intothe world.\"Having children for heaven\"is no longer as simple as itwas for our ancestors many of whose children died soon after theyreached the baptismal font.An annual pregnancy usually means nowa baby every year to care for,support and raise to adulthood.Undersuch circumstances the economic strain on the couple,the effort andwork involved can be almost unbearable.But if Catholic couples seekto limit or space their offspring,the strain on their chastity is severe.What then is the answer?  \nThese are a few of the notions this issue attempts to explore.  \nfrom our readers  \nTo the Editor:  \nI suppose I should write directly to each of the writers of theAugust number of Integrity,since theirs were the words which helpedme.But I must ration my words....  \nTo the prisoner solitude is a highly-prized,almost tangible com-modity distinguished by its absence.Surrounded and surveyed,for us  \nreal solitude is a myth and privacy a fading memory.Yet we are mostof us singularly alone in this welter of single-minded egos.A facelessmass,our most over-used word is the vertical pronoun.'It would seemthat if solitude,as opposed to loneliness,has worth,then prisonersshould come close to realizing its value.Unfortunately,most of ussimply do not know how to use it.  \nAs a group we probably represent some of the more obvious evilsinherent in the disuse or abuse of contemplation.We also,I think,typify the resourcelessness of A.P.Campbell's social animals when sur-face activity palls and the individual suddenly and unexpectedly con-fronts the inner—n","cbCaivHp5OqYUglg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivHp5OqYUglg","pdf",1915864,52,"English","# Integrity\n## Editorial\n## From our readers\n## Responsibility in Catholic Marriage\n## Chastity in Marriage and Virginity\n## Consecrated Virginity: Two Interpretations\n## Educating Children for Marriage and Virginity\n## Book Reviews","[{\"question\":\"What relationship does the editorial describe between virginity and marital chastity?\",\"answer\":\"The editorial argues that virginity is strongly connected to marital chastity, and that where virginity is not prized, the wife and mother are not respected.
