Pope opens mouth again!

[...]This doesn't mean that the Christian must make children "in series."
I met a woman some months ago in a parish who was pregnant with her eighth child, who had had seven C-sections. But does she want to leave the seven as orphans? This is to tempt God. I speak of responsible paternity. This is the way, a responsible paternity.
[...]
I think the number of three children per family that you mentioned – it makes me suffer- I think it is the number experts say is important to keep the population going. Three per couple. When this decreases, the other extreme happens, like what is happening in Italy. I have heard, I do not know if it is true, that in 2024 there will be no money to pay pensioners because of the fall in population. Therefore, the key word, to give you an answer, and the one the Church uses all the time, and I do too, is responsible parenthood. How do we do this? With dialogue. Each person with his pastor seeks how to do carry out a responsible parenthood.
That example I mentioned shortly before about that woman who was expecting her eighth child and already had seven who were born with caesareans. That is a an irresponsibility That woman might say 'no, I trust in God.’ But, look, God gives you means to be responsible. Some think that -- excuse the language -- that in order to be good Catholics, we have to be like rabbits. No. Responsible parenthood. This is clear and that is why in the Church there are marriage groups, there are experts in this matter, there are pastors, one can search; and I know so many ways that are licit and that have helped this.

Don't breed like rabbits, dammit!

Such a sourpuss

So the message is "Don't trust in God, he ain't doing shit".

I think his mouth needs filling up with concrete and sealing off permanently.

If the woman died, why would those children be "orphans"? Does the father not count?

[Norman Humann]

What does he know about parenthood?

Is there something we don't know?

Damn, EVERY child she had, she had to have a C-Section?

If she was rational she'd probably take that as a sign that it might be a good idea to, yknow, stop. Or at least find a surrogate.

And I believe in this age of severe overpopulation we should be encoraging young couples to have less children, not more. It's not a matter of space, we have space for maybe hundreds of billions, it's resources.

You know.... new pope is going to piss off the wrong people one of these days.
