ROME — The Vatican published the list of participants in its upcoming pan-Amazon Synod Saturday, which includes as “special invitee” Jeffrey D. Sachs, who is among the world’s foremost proponents of population control.
In his 2008 book Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet, Sachs argued for legalizing abortion as a cost-effective way to eliminate “unwanted children” when contraception fails.
Abortion, he wrote, is a “lower-risk and lower-cost option” than having unwanted children born into the world.
The “legalization of abortion reduces a country’s total fertility rate significantly, by as much as half a child on average,” he wrote approvingly, while criticizing America’s “Mexico City Policy,” which denies funding to NGOs that perform or promote abortions.
Particularly in Africa, he wrote, abortion should be legalized and family planning programs made to “cater to adolescents as well as to married households.”

The Pope is the Anti Christ.
For population control advocates who say the planet is overcrowded, you are welcome to leave at any time.
Not a Catholic and setting aside any politics and personal beliefs.....isn’t the Catholic Church against abortion????? So why would they do this? Are they not afraid of alienating their base?

The Catholic Church is corrupt to the core, although there are also many good people there.
