Vatican science academy tweets New York Times story supporting population control

So the Vatican thinks people shouldn’t have babies.

[Bayard]

This Pope and the Vatican have obviously been co-opted by communists. Not sure yet... if it has fallen into certain formal heresy yet, but the damage is certainly there. There are questions about AL and much more still up for consideration.

And I’m sure this makes the jihadis happy.

The Vatican employees need to check in with Chesterton!

G. K. Chesterton

"Surplus population"

"SCROOGE is not only as modern as Gradgrind but more modern than Gradgrind. He belongs not only to the hard times of the middle of the nineteenth century, but to the harder times of the beginning of the twentieth century; the yet harder times in which we live. Many amiable sociologists will say, as he said, "Let them die and decrease the surplus population." The improved proposal is that they should die before they are born.

"It is notable also that Dickens gives the right reply; and that with a deadly directness worthy of a much older and more subtle controversionalist. The answer to anyone who talks about the surplus population is to ask him whether he is the surplus population; or if he is not, how he knows he is not. That is the answer which the Spirit of Christmas gives to Scrooge."

~G.K. Chesterton: Introduction to A Christmas Carol. (1922)

There have been perhaps 30 or 40 Antipopes in the 2000-year history of the papacy.

An antipope is a person claiming to be Pope who was not duly elected or proclaimed while a duly elected Pope was still in office.
