I've been a Catholic all my life and i have never been told that.

The only reason i could guess for the Spanish roman catholic church to recommend such a thing would be to provide more soldiers for its armies.

Personal reasons for having large numbers of children would i'd think be to ensure the bloodline survives and to provide care givers for the parents old age.
