If yo think open borders and unmitigated immigration is a good thing then go over to the DU were your like minded socialist friends are.
It is the foreigners who are oppressing the natives, not the other way around. Marxism has totally confused this man’s brain. This was not the Catholicism that I new when I was s teenager. What about not coveting your neighbor’s land?
I’m reminded of when Dr. Zhivago comes home from the war to find a dozen people squatting in his house, by order of the commissar of course.
Why should we, offer home to the reckless reproductive flotsam of the third world....
The Bible commands us to be fruitful and multiply. In that order.
However, if people decide to have small families, they leave the future to those who have big families.
And, no, I’m absolutely not a Catholic. My wife and I had three children. So don’t blame me.
Yep...memorable scene.
He is basically saying that he wants to be the last Pope.
He IS the last Pope, isn’t he?
But I think the “good life” is also a reason that people do not want kids as Pope Frances said, he has a cousin that does not want kids and would prefer traveling or buying property. Hedonism and materialism go hand in hand. We have seen this for about 50 years.
I’m now remembering that Frank Sinatra song “The Good Life”.
The Baby Boom ended in 1964 and the Ted Kennedy Invasion Act went into force in 1965.
Please do not insult my intelligence by saying that this was because people were not having children. In fact in 1965 there was a bump up from 1960.
I would say it goes quite the other way. When you are flooded by migrants you tend to have fewer children because there is less room for them.
How many kids did Pope Francis have? How many migrants is he personally going to claim for himself?
China and India are third world countries that are very polluted. First world countries have better technologies with more environmental protections.
this marauding group of drifters, are simply an invading army, in the of guise of Trojan horses...Rush had it right today, when he eluded to the fact that 80% of these people are military aged men, and as he added, looking for women, or words to that effect....
I’ve got to think that those who don’t want children, don’t want migrants either.
People who have small families are having children according to what they can support and take care of and they WORK.
So I do not see the logic in them supporting additional families when they are supporting their own families and ALREADY SUPPORTING AN ADDITIONAL FAMILY THROUGH TAXES.
The pope or whatever the hell he is pays no tax, doesn’t even support himself and never has and then he tries to make people who are working feel guilty if they are not supporting two other families?
The poop can practice what he preaches or shut the hell up.
And come out against homosexual marriage and strengthen the family, as opposed to making divorce easier.
And, while he's at it, not make a case for middle eastern Christians, and not the Muslims?
Europe has generous welfare benefits which attracts foreigners but is also available to the natives who do not have to work. If you pay people not to work you will have a shortage of workers, hence they call in more foreign workers.
I finally agree with the Pope on something.
The West has committed suicide through refusing to have children. Sooner or later someone is going to just walk in and take it away.
Question is will Europe wake up?
What’s the proper number? Does one kid give you a pass? If someone has 14 kids, can they sell “kid credits” like carbon credits? Can you claim one of your nieces?
