At today’s General Audience the Pope recalled that children know how to laugh and cry, they have not yet learned the science of duplicity which we adults have learned.

Ping!!

A society without children is dead.

Isn’t this the same Pope Francis who ‘chastised’ Catholics for wanting to ‘breed like rabbits’? So which is it?

This from the guy who won’t allow priests the option to be married.

The way this Pope gives speeches reminds me of Obama. Most of what he said was basically meaningless sentimental/emotional nothings. And whenever he said something substantial, you don’t like it, because it was his Marxism peeking out.

We have friends living in “retirement communities “. The very idea seems horrible to us. The very young and the very old can share much with each other. As we become more and more isolated today, we lose so much. My wife was born in Thailand and I’ve lived there and in Hispanic communities here where the involvement of grandparents in the raising of children is ingrained and honorable. I’m injoying being grandpa and my wife is totally committed and delighted to be “Yai”.

Kids are great, but can you please not take them to late night R-rated movies, or on airplanes, or to Vegas?

Children remind us that “we are always children”

Maybe some people (like politicians) are, but some of us are grown-ups....

In fact, one can judge a society by the way it treats its children

Beautiful words from our Holy Father. Children are truly a blessing and a gift from God. Only three replies in to your post and I am amazed at the ignorance and stupidity of some of the other poster comments.

Catholics - which is it? Homos do not produce children, no matter how you want to spin it.

I wonder why people can’t just say, “Yes, of course this is true.”
