Pope Benedict XVI told Catholics to have more babies "for the good of society," saying that some countries were being sapped of energy because of low birth rates.For the good of society, or the good of the Catholic Church? We all know that overpopulation can wreak havock on an environment. Keeping birth rates under control is a sensible thing to do - but the Catholic church is in trouble and needs more members giving them money.
"Having children is a gift that brings life and well-being to society," he told about 15,000 people at his weekly audience in the Vatican, to which he arrived by helicopter from his summer residence southeast of Rome.
He said the decline in the number of births "deprives some nations of freshness and energy and of hopes for the future incarnate in children."
The pope also spoke of "the security, the stability and the force of a numerous family."
It's as simple as that. They truly are evil.
Okay.. so that's the previous pope.. I just like the picture.
