Pope Francis Tells Italians ‘Having Children Is a Duty to Survive’
Breitbart ^ | 01/21/2024 | Thomas D Williams PHD

ROME, Italy — Pope Francis once again voiced his concern for Europe’s demographic winter on Saturday, urging Italians to have more children.

“I am worried about the low birth rate,” the pontiff told an Italian association of local politicians. “There is a culture of depopulation that comes from the fact that few children are born.”

“It is true, anyone can have a dog, it is true: but we need children,” he continued. “In Italy, Spain … there is a need for children.”

Broken clock.....

Seriously, when I saw Pope Francis on TV the first time, I thought I liked him. Pope Francis washed feet of inmates shortly after he became Pope. It was a good example of his humility. Reminded me of Mother Theresa. And then he started to open his mouth...

Given that Francis is both an idiot and a communist, I’ll be waiting for the other shoe to drop. Perhaps he’ll follow this up with, “And in the meantime, you should import millions more illegal immigrants.”

He may just be worried about not having enough totally-devoted, ignorant paying parishioners in the future.

Christians need to be fruitful and multiply, because the Muslims have no problem doing that with girls as soon as they reach puberty, and with multiple wives. It’s stupid to invite them into Western countries.

Is he telling the “Blessed Homosexuals” that? (Kinda futile).

Is it safe to assume the man is referring to married couples?

People will populate, just not the ones you want. Did the Pope really think Idiocracy was just a comedy?
