Will he ever shut up? Will he kindly shut up?
He is just a stream of babble, not only babble, but constantly conflicting babble.
This is from the National Reporter NOT the Catholic Register. They will always post negative stories.
Thus the fishwrap picture.
So, by not accepting gifts with strings, as in the example he gave of sodomite propaganda, is a bad thing? Have you heard what the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is doing in Africa, specifically with artificial birth control?
Would you prefer he not speak out about that?
Is he not supposed to reiterate the teachings of the Church regarding the regulation of births? (CCC 2398, 2399)
Some people will always complain, and accept negative stories because it fits their own agendas, regardless of what is actually said, and in what context.
Many very, very, devout Filipinos are poor (25%), and may not fully understand Natural Family Planning. The Pope’s message is they should feel no pressure to just have more and more kids, especially if they can’t provide for them. Rather, he shows them what the Church teaches, encourages those who have been spacing births (responsibly, and not out of a contraceptive mentality). In short, he is teaching about responsible parenting.
Isn’t this what a Pope should be doing?
“Will he ever shut up? Will he kindly shut up”
I ask myself that question every day, because every day he says something dumber than the day before. On the flight where he insulted Catholics and compared them to breeding rabbits, he goes on to tell a reporter about him kicking someone in the ass because they said something he didn’t like. Just blabbing on trying to be funny. Remember when the pope actually conducted himself with grace and dignity? Seems like a lifetime ago.
I agree, he just feels he needs to fill dead air space, or something.
One good thing about this: I don’t have to live by it.
Any pronunciation or direction as to how other governments distribute their wealth as charity is not in any way morally binding on me or a government.
Seeing that regulating birth is in accord with Catholic teaching through NFP or the old rhythm method; I don’t have to have some celibate man, Pope or not, tell me how many children I should or shouldn’t have.
Like too many of the episcopate (including this bishop of Rome), they can easily step out of bounds on issues they have no authority. And oft times make an ass of themselves.
