Frank Bruni

In a March 20, 2012 column in the New York Times, Frank Bruni told something of his mother's story.  "When my mother dutifully mentioned her IUD during confession back in the 1970’s, the parish priest told her that she really needn’t apologize or bring it up again.  Which was a good thing, since she had no intention of doing away with it.  Four kids were joy and aggravation enough.”
