Pope: Catholics Don't Have to Breed 'Like Rabbits'
NewsMax ^ | January 19, 2015

Posted on 01/19/2015 5:12:26 PM PST by ebb tide

>>No, he said, Catholics don't have to "be like rabbits" and have more children than is safe or responsible. <<

>>Francis said he would have loved to have entered the U.S. via the Mexican border, saying it would have been a "beautiful thing, as a sign of brotherhood and of help to the immigrants."<<

>>"But you know that going to Mexico without going to visit the Madonna (of Guadalupe) would be a drama. A war could break out!" he said, laughing. He said a Mexico visit would come in the future.<<

Francis to Adam and Eve: “Don’t be stupid; don’t leave orphans”.

Francis to Adam and Steve: “Who am to judge?”

It’s changing the subject is what it is.

The subject of Salvation’s post 12 was that Newsmax was “anti-Catholic” for reporting this. (Even though it happens to be front-page news all over the world right now for obvious reasons.)

Don’t you have the book of Genesis in your Bible?

What are God’s instructions to all of mankind?

“Be fruitful and multiply.”

The question “Is the Pope Catholic?” takes on a whole new meaning with Frances.

Maybe the question is "Is this Pope the Antichrist?"

NewsMax is actually very Catholic friendly. They have some good committed Catholics on staff. Good committed Catholics are getting tired of this Pope’s lack of custody of the tongue. Every time he says something Catholic, like his solid comments on Humanae Vitae earlier on this trip, he feels the need to undermine it with stupid statements like this latest one regarding Catholics and rabbits.

I still don’t get your point.

Are you saying God’s instructions were to “breed like rabbits”?

Don’t you see? God and Francis are not on the same page.

“Francis said he would have loved to have entered the U.S. via the Mexican border, saying it would have been a “beautiful thing, as a sign of brotherhood and of help to the immigrants.””

So, he is my enemy. The mexican swarms are catholic.

What do “wasp”-like catholics have to say about this?

....."During his in-air press conference Sept. 19 [I believe this should be Jan. 19], Pope Francis did comment on the possibility of adding Mexico to his agenda. The Pope said that “to enter the USA from the border of Mexico would be a beautiful thing, as a sign of brotherhood and of help to the immigrants.” "...........

Unfortunately all too typical. Why doesn't he take a bunch of these "immigrants" back to Vatican City on his plane? Might it be because they will exploit and bankrupt his corner of the world instead of ours?

He continues to be an embarassment as pope. His US schedule was announced today and of course he will hobnob with Obama in Washington and loudmouth pro-abort Dolan in NYC.

I’m with you, Sal ...

Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great.

If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Onan. Wasn’t he smitten for wasting sperms?
Smited? Smote? His pee pee whacked? What?

Despite the sacrilegious nature of the sketch, I still find this hilarious:

Monty Python - Every Sperm is Sacred

(Just having a laugh, don't declare a crusade on me Catholics!)

“The pontiff has also made what appears to be an unprecedented statement that Catholics may have a moral responsibility to limit the number of their children, while reaffirming Pope Paul VI’s ban on artificial means of birth control”.

Never in the history of the Church has a pope criticized Catholics for having too many children.

“As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it.” Genesis 9:7

Have the Cardinals ever considered a recall election?
