7. From an April 2004 issue of Media Matters
"See the Passion.com" founder was Scarborough's guest 14 times in 9 weeks
On the April 26th, 2004 episode of MSNBC's Scarborough Country, host Joe Scarborough discussed what he called the New York Times' "bashing" of Mel Gibson's The Passion of The Christ with Jennifer Giroux, founder and director of See the Passion.com. In a teaser for the Passion segment, Scarborough said, "Mel Gibson has taken a lot of grief from 'The New York Times' ... over his blockbuster hit 'The Passion.' How many times can one paper get it wrong about a movie? We'll separate fact from 'New York Times' fiction."

Also, from Salon:

Oh, and speaking of Jennifer Giroux, as commenter M.S. noted, Jenny first met the man who later became her husband in 1992 -- and she now has nine kids. Adding to this remarkable feat, it appears that the last child was born towards the end of 2000. M.S. challenged us to "do the math." I did, and by my calculations, Jennifer had, on the average, a child every 9.3 months or so. Of course, Jenny could have had some sets of twins and triplets, or adopted some heathen orphans, so this doesn't necessarily mean that she was continuously pregnant for the first seven years of her marriage.

But it well could. I found an interesting item about the Catholic book store owned by Jennifer and her husband. Here's part of

Dan and Jennifer Giroux recently opened The Catholic Shop a few blocks from St. Gertrude Church in Madeira (staffed by the Dominican Fathers). "We’re still a work in progress," says Mr. Giroux, who has recently retired from serving as managing editor of Dr. Thomas Droleskey’s monthly publication Christ or Chaos.

<...> Brochures outlining the physical and spiritual risks of contraception are prominently displayed on their check-out counter.

Of course, the physical risks of not using contraception include having 9 children in 7 years.
