March 10, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) The Vatican hosting population control advocates at a conference is "such a departure from the solid, orthodox teaching [of] the two previous popes," a pro-life leader who has spent decades fighting the "myth" of overpopulation told LifeSiteNews.
Steve Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute, told LifeSiteNews that the Pontifical Academy of Sciences shouldn't be surprised that speakers at its Biological Extinction conference, which included the pro-abortion "father" of the population control movement and supporters of contraception, espoused anti-Catholic views.
"This is what you get if you invite secular humanists to speak at a Catholic conference," said Mosher. "You get a secular humanist perspective, which is to say, if you think that human beings men are nothing but animals, then its perfectly alright to thin the herd." This is done "on the pretense that theres not enough in the way of resources to support the existing herd."
And "they propagate their myth of overpopulation," said Mosher.
During one part of the conference, the Population Council's John Bongaarts' claimed that there is a worldwide "unmet need" for contraception.
"You have these numbers based on surveys where you go into countries and you ask women, Have you had a child in the last two years?" Mosher explained. "And if they say yes, then you ask them a second question: Are you using a modern method of contraception? By which they mean an abortifacient pill, an IUD, condoms, Depo Provera, or other methods. And if they say no, then they have an unmet need for contraception."
Such surveys "assume that because [women have] had a baby in the last two years and because theyre not using a modern method of contraception, that they need contraception," said Mosher. They "are designed to produce pre-determined......

Sorry but the Catholic Church does not have a pope at the present time. Your prayers are important to us. Please leave your name and number an we’ll get back to you as soon as we find one who’s read the bible.
Coming from one who was raised as a Catholic and who’d like to return.
Someday.
There is no over population problem. It’s the reverse, actually.
There are certainly over population issues in certain parts of the world. Mexico, Central, and South America, to mention a few.

Why is this even surprising?
When the local dictators steal all the food and medicine and prevent it from getting to the people, then there will be hunger and medical supply issues where it appears there is an "over population" problem.
Before the communists entered Vietnam the people lived poorly but they did not want for food. They had their water buffalo and their communal rice paddies and they lived happily though "poor" according to American standards.
When I fly in an airplane across a continent I like to look out the window. There is a whole lot of land out there that is not peopled.
We don't have a "over population" problem we have a problem with authorities who do everything they can to mismanage the lives of other people.
If a pope says that people should only have three children, what the heck does that mean for someone who has four children? Because I happen to have four children. Am I now to blame for over population? Is he going to be ready to offer a SOLUTION to over population? Or, is he hoping someone else comes up with a SOLUTION?
Francis de Chardin is unbelievably irresponsible.
Global Population Reduction: Confronting the Inevitable
Looking past the near-term concerns that have plagued population policy at the political level, it is increasingly apparent that the long-term sustainability of civilization will require not just a leveling-off of human numbers as projected over the coming half-century, but a colossal reduction in both population and consumption.

That there will be a large-scale reduction in global human numbers over the next two or three centuries appears to be inevitable. The primary issue seems to be whether this process will be under conscious human control and (hopefully) relatively benign, or whether it will turn out to be unpredictably chaotic and (perhaps) catastrophic.

Totally agree.
It will be through famine and war. There are just too many morons out there breeding like flies. Scarcity and conflict are the future. Many seem to take the whole “populate the Earth” thing to an extreme; they won’t be happy until we’re packed in like a giant, starving bacterial colony.
Francis is about to throw the Church’s Pro Life stance under the bus in the name of “saving the planet.”
And the only organized resistance is worried about some divorcee in Wichita taking Communion.
Pope Francis has never supported abortion .
