Isn’t this the same Pope Francis who ‘chastised’ Catholics for wanting to ‘breed like rabbits’? So which is it?

Then a week later, he said not having kids was selfish or something.

Oh for goodness' sake.

Well, since you asked: Pope Francis was defending Humanae Vitae and at the same time urging responsible parenthood, refuting critics that said the Catholic Church just wants people to breed like rabbits.

Context, context.

“Isn’t this the same Pope Francis who ‘chastised’ Catholics for wanting to ‘breed like rabbits’? So which is it?”

So, according to your logic, the only two possibilities are:

1) ‘breed like rabbits”
or
2) no children

There is a third option: traditional Christian practice.
