Telling the story of a woman he met in a parish in Rome several months ago who had given birth to seven children via Cesarean section and was pregnant with an eighth, Francis asked: "Does she want to leave the seven orphans?"
"This is to tempt God," he said, adding later: "That is an irresponsibility." Catholics, the pope said, should speak of "responsible parenthood."
"How do we do this?" Francis asked. "With dialogue. Each person with his pastor seeks how to do that responsible parenthood."

Will he ever shut up? Will he kindly shut up?
He is just a stream of babble, not only babble, but constantly conflicting babble.

What a dumbass. I wonder what Catholics think of this idiot.

Probably the most offensive thing (to God) he’s said yet. I wouldn't have thought God could be "tempted." Of course, I don't have a Pipeline, like this Pope seems to think he has.

“saying they sometimes require concessions that strike echoes of 20th century dictatorships. “
Oh that’s right because after all you want my money but not my conditions. Sorry if you can’t feed all of your children.Please don’t ask me to if you plan on having more.Why not go ask the pope for a few bucks from his Peter’s pence that he gets every year

This is from the National Reporter NOT the Catholic Register. They will always post negative stories.
Thus the fishwrap picture.

Don't worry. I'm sure this will come out in other, less-biased news organizations. You just can't stop this guy.
I'm one of nine children and between us we have 51 children, many born via repeated C-sections.

Limit children without birth control??? Sounds like the pope is pro-sodomy.

He is now also a doctor. A cesarean section is safer than birthing the natural way. It is the choice of many pediatricians because it is so safe. At the first sign of problems the doctor is calling for one. It simply takes longer to heal.
One thing for sure, as bad of a doctor that he is, it is better than his pontificate.
