What are we to make of this approach? First, environmentalism does have a totalitarian side. The papal advisor Joachim Schellnhuber’s solution is to reduce the world’s population to less than a billion. Trying to accomplish this feat legitimizes vast programs of abortion, family control, euthanasia, and other such “necessary” steps. If we maintain a priori the impossibility of mankind dealing with its own needs as they arise, we must impose rigid control over all human activities and values.

Disaster did not occur

Only these three disasters:

[P.O.E.]

"We're going to need a bigger boat"

[I want the USA back]

The total number of people doesn’t matter. What matters is the relative proportion of producers and of takers.

Exactly Environmentalism is a Globalist Socialist strategy.

Environmentalism says that to protect the environment citizens can not do with their property what they like. That government approval must be sought to make changes to the citizen's property.

If there is a threatened species on your land that land has essentially been deeded to the government without compensation because the owner can do nothing to improve that land.

Environmentalism in guise of Global Warming seeks to set up Global government under the UN. This government will collect taxes, redistribute wealth and pass laws that govern world trade.

Freedom is fading fast and we sit idly by drinking our lattes and preparing our fantasy football picks.

For clarity, the world’s population of infants quit growing in the 1980s. The population is now likely NOT to reach 10 billion in the foreseeble future. The greater danger is a financial upheaval caused when increasing scarcity, apon which modern (post-medieval) foundations of finance are based. The doctrine of increasing scarcity states that any investment in natural resources will become profitable in the long run.

[Hebrews 11:6]

God instructed us, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth." Gen. 9:1

He has a specific number of humans who must be born to match the number He anticipated before the creation of the world:
"All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Ps. 139:16 and
"For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight." Eph. 1:4

Evidently, we have not yet filled our quota, so we must keep producing more humans until we have.

He wants lots of humans so He can bless lots of humans. It's what He does.

Thank you for this thought-provoking thread.
Full disclosure : I am the product, mainly, of a Catholic Jesuit High School education, arguably the most important period of most humans' formative years. For the most part, good or bad, they are responsible for who I am today.

I had never heard of Fr. Schall, although his name sounds vaguely familiar. My high school was in San Francisco.

I can't believe I had not read any of his contributions until today. Now I have many articles to catch up on by this retired Jesuit (with a great sense of humor, even.)

In additional to this thread, this other topical article, from the link above, specially got my attention...
