"This is to tempt God," he said, adding later: "That is an irresponsibility." Catholics, the pope said, should speak of "responsible parenthood."
"How do we do this?" Francis asked. "With dialogue. Each person with his pastor seeks how to do that responsible parenthood."
Ping for the next international spokesman for Planned Parenthood
Can the Pope be impeached and removed?
Will he ever shut up? Will he kindly shut up?
He is just a stream of babble, not only babble, but constantly conflicting babble.
Probably the most offensive thing (to God) he’s said yet.
This guy is a psychopath.
What a dumbass. I wonder what Catholics think of this idiot.
“saying they sometimes require concessions that strike echoes of 20th century dictatorships. “
Oh that’s right because after all you want my money but not my conditions. Sorry if you can’t feed all of your children.Please don’t ask me to if you plan on having more.Why not go ask the pope for a few bucks from his Peter’s pence that he gets every year
and what abput the muslim hoards breeding out of control?
Now that there's funny, I don't care who you are!
Limit children without birth control??? Sounds like the pope is pro-sodomy.
He is now also a doctor. A cesarean section is safer than birthing the natural way. It is the choice of many pediatricians because it is so safe. At the first sign of problems the doctor is calling for one. It simply takes longer to heal.
One thing for sure, as bad of a doctor that he is, it is better than his pontificate.
Are we sure he’s a priest? He’s sounding awfully like a socialist leader from South America.
The ObamaPope.
“”””To enter the United States from the border of Mexico would be a beautiful thing, as a sign of brotherhood and of help to the immigrants,” he said. “But you know that going to Mexico without going to visit the Madonna is a drama.””””
FU Francis. Take your border jumpers to the Vatican.
“I felt as though I was annihilated. I almost couldn’t speak.”
Would that that where true! He never ceases to speak, usually out of both sides of his mouth and often out of his ass.
Well, it is certainly true that a lot of rich countries give aid to African and other poorer countries, on condition that they use condoms and birth control and abortion. The UN is one of the worst offenders in this regard.
The Pope is quite right to criticize that.
On the other hand, while it is perhaps true that parents should act responsibly and not have more children than they can take care of, and the Church recognizes that Catholics can under proper circumstances resort to natural family planning, it is certainly NOT the case that he should criticize a mother for having an eighth child. Good grief. That is totally wrong.
We have thirteen children, the oldest now 52, and so far all of them have turned out well. We now have 16 grandchildren, going on 18, and so far all of them have turned out well, although doctors tried to persuade them to abort a couple of them. Is the Pope saying that is wrong?
Does the Pope remember that St. Catherine of Siena, who might be said to have saved the Papacy from its ruinous exile in France, was the 25th child of her parents? She was one of the greatest advisers a Pope has ever had.
When I first saw this, I thought the Catholic Fishwrap might be twisting his remarks, as it so often does. But the stupidity of his comment about an eighth child speaks for itself.
It’s one of your business, Francis! Don’t be a jerk! Not a heretic, but a jerk! Let God and the mother decide!
Now,now. This is the man, according to our Catholic brethren, God chose to lead his church. This man also has the ability to interpret scripture for the unwashed masses don’t you know
The Shoes of the Fisherman are a bit too large for Francis, it seems.
God’s greatest blessing to the living is, “I will multiply thy seed.”
God’s greatest curse to the living is, “I will cut off thy generations.”
Francis would have people reject the blessing and volunteer for the curse.
Then again, what better way for the Mohammedans to completely inundate Europe than if the indigenous peoples cease to multiply.
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.
