My grandmother had only one child, in 1935 after which my grandad went round every priest he could find to get one to tell him contraception was OK to save the mothers life, so there were priests who would say it, even then.
As to VAtican Roulette, my mum planned three kids using the rythm method and got our dates of birth when she wanted too, so it's not always as chancy as all that :-)
