Best summary I’ve seen:

If you don’t want kids, don’t make them.

(Strange how many people seem to think making them is unavoidable.)

So what’s this jerk getting at, if you can’t bring them up properly..........abort? Who is to say what proper is? What a foul ball this Pope is.

What happened to the saying of God: “Be fruitful and multiply.”??


It is the first commandment in the Bible.

Lifesitenews is on our team. Unfortunately I would trust the NY Times over Lifesitenews - they are very prone to misquotes and hyperbole.

And popping them out one after the other gives you a nice check from the government every month, housing, food, medical needs, dental needs, also met. So depressing...I know at least two happy families, raising their children well, but neither couple ever intends to get married so the “wife” in each family can stay home and get her benefits check every month. One couple have two children, the other couple has one. It doesn’t take long for people who are not disadvantaged in any way, to figure out “the system”. These two couples, very respectable, deliberately abuse the system and have no shame about being subsidized by the rest of us. Can’t understand how it is permitted.

What I can’t understand is how you consider these unmarried fornicating couples as “very respectable”.

My parents had 10 children. My dad worked for General Motors. Money had to stretch long and hard.

Out of the 10 kids, seven graduated from college having started out in community college. Four went on to receive higher degrees.

None of us went to Harvard, and none of us have spent time in jail. All of us are tax-paying citizens.

BTW - none of us got free rides through college. We all paid our own way, mainly because mom and dad could not help us.

So, it is possible to have children and send them to college with having to experience terrifying figures.

If you want more than the standard two or three kids have them all and show your kids how to be frugal and responsible with money.

How about muzzies? They don’t bring up their children properly at all, so they shouldn’t have any children. Eh pope?

Beats saying to have all you can pump out to increase the number of the faithful, whether you can feed and clothe them or not. But does anyone else think that this pontiff might be a false one? He seems barely Catholic!

I’m not a parent, but if you can’t bring them up properly, what do numbers matter?
