Here is a complete transcript of the airplane interview. Read it and weep.
Full Transcript of Pope's Press Conference on Flight from Manilak
Some excerpts:
I rebuked a woman some months ago in a parish who was pregnant eight times, with seven C-sections (cesareans). “But do you want to leave seven orphans? That is to tempt God!
That is an irresponsibility (That woman might say) 'no but I trust in god' But God gives you methods to be responsible. Some think that, excuse me if i use that word, that in order to be good Catholics we have to be like rabbits.
I think the number of 3 (children) per family that you mentioned, it is the one experts say is important to keep the population going,. three per couple. When it goes below this, the other extreme happens, like what is happing in Italy.
(Sum Pro Vita: I pinged you to this post because Francis seems to discount your just "trust in God" mantra.)
Oh I missed this gem! So he's quoting the population "experts" is he?
He makes me sick.
Appalling comment. Sounds like he's trying to maintain credibility with his liberal cohorts, the "global warming" crowd, in advance of his upcoming encyclical on the environment (which he apparently considers to be one of the most critical spiritual issues of our time). 
No, I’m not confused. This is what the Pope actually said, versus the comments on the airplane and how the lamestream media interpreted those.
Thank you. However, that is not the case.
