that's not what the article said.

the title of the Article:

Choosing pets over babies is selfish and diminishes us, says pope
Pontiff laments denied parenthood and people who substitute cats and dogs for children

So naturally he should be 100% pro gay couples adopting kids.

Since they are so selfless.

That's not true, we're only overpopulated in very specific parts of the world. The world as a whole is still vast enough to hold over billions more of us.

With that said, the Pope calling people selfish for having pets instead of children is just him with his boomer logic. With that said, many first world countries are having birth rate issues right now where we won't have enough people taking care of us once we hit our boomer years.

Is the pope going to pay for these children? Cause a lot of people are going childless because they can't afford to raise children.

Probably because his boomer ass voted to keep wages low.

You don't have to be a childless virgin to become a priest but if you are when you become one then you'll be like that for as long as you're still a priest.

Not surprising coming from the leader of a church that preaches eternal punishment for use of contraceptives (not just abortion, but any kind of contraceptive!). If you use a condom and don't repent, you're going to hell.

I grew up as a Southern Baptist, but not even we say that using contraceptives is a sin. We're just very quiet about saying it as an advice, but no abortion and no contraceptives with a lack of sex ed just means that there will always be an increase of unwanted pregnancies. I get why the Catholic have such a strict views on it (they're anti-sex), but they're living in a dream world with their strict pro-life position.

I was joking, it was a very boomer thing to say. Besides, "Boomer" is a mainly US thing. Argentina didn't have a baby boom then.

Yeah, Im selfish because I cant afford a kid and dont want to live my whole life in debt, or want to raise a kid in poverty which is borderline neglect. Its not like the church helps people out anymore and its also not like I would force my kids to go to church anyway.
