Another WOW: yesterday’s
statement by Pope Francis that Good Roman Catholics do not need to breed like "rabbits"
I don’t know
what they put in the Pope’s drink on his visit to the Philippines.
Years ago, a
Catholic friend from Montreal told me how their priests would visit families
and demand an explanation, if a year had gone by without a new pregnancy. With
one Papal remark, all those Catholics who followed their priests’ teaching and
expectations to have large families must feel really dumb.
Had anyone
else come out with a statement “Catholics breed like rabbits”, the uproar would
have been enormous. Charlie Hebdo
would party. The Pope would have demanded more respect for his faith and his
flock of… His message would have
been repeated from every pulpit.
PS: and if
you wondered… contraceptives are still out. Tough.
Ich lese deinen blog immer mit Vergnügen, aber diese Katholiken legen sich doch nie fest!
