It’s in the Pope’s job description not to have any kids. Do you deny that he speaks the truth? It is genetically programmed in every species to perpetuate itself. It is selfish for good & decent people to put having material possessions over bringing more good & decent people into this world - to forego long-term consequences for short-term pleasures. Selfish indeed.

Aw c’mon. He’s an honest celibate. But if he weren’t, let me refer you to my tagline.

Get real. The Pope is not married.

Are you saying that unmarried men should father children?

“How many kids does the Pope have?

2 separate issues that you are mixing.

Why doesn’t the Pope have children?
He has answered this question regarding the vow of celibacy as a discipline required by MOST priests (converted married priests are allowed to remain married)

He took a vow of celibacy - sacrificing traditional marriage and fatherhood in order to serve God “for the sake of the kingdom”.

This has nothing to do with selfishness and everything to do with selflesness.

His vocation is different from the vocation that most human beings pursue...marriage and parenthood.

Who is considered to be crazy and irresponsible these days?
Just ask anyone who has had more than 2 children.
Larger families are considered to be freaks.
Why?

We have become materialistic, and children are considered to be burdens, inconveniences, and impediments to adult “happiness.”

His is a different vocation. For those of us whose vocation is marriage, we have an obligation to reproduce.
