Title is wrong:
“Pope blasts Catholic Europeans for not having enough children”
There, that’s better. He doesn’t give a fig if the prorestants never have another kid! :)
“There, that’s better. He doesn’t give a fig if the prorestants never have another kid! :)”
If you would take the time to read his writings you would learn how wrong you are.
That isn't what he said. Doesn't his message deserve to be evaluated on the basis of what he actually said, rather than what you think he means?
In point of fact, the Catholic objections to contraception are based in natural law, and we think it's just as wrong when Protestants (or anyone else) do it.
And, in another point of fact, Catholic Europeans and Protestant Europeans are both doing a pathetic job of reproducing themselves. The only Europeans who are making lots of babies are the Muslim ones. Christian European civilization is dying, and the only thing most of the people here can come up with are snarky comments attacking the messenger.
