“If you want to see the face of Europe in 100 years, barring a miracle, look to the faces of young Muslim immigrants,” Philadelphia Archbishop Charles J. Chaput told a group of Catholics Thursday.
Speaking at an annual conference of the Napa Institute in California, Chaput tied the future of civilization to a willingness to have children—an area where Muslims lead every other group.
“Islam has a future because Islam believes in children,” Chaput said. “Without a transcendent faith that makes life worth living, there’s no reason to bear children. And where there are no children, there’s no imagination, no reason to sacrifice, and no future.”
“Christian” Europe, on the other hand, languishes under a loss of hope in the future, illustrated by a birthrate well below replacement levels, which is offset only by its uncontrolled mass immigration.
“At least six of Europe’s most senior national leaders have no children at all,” the Archbishop noted. “Their world ends with them. It’s hard to avoid a sense that much of Europe is already dead or dying without knowing it.”
French President Emmanuel Macron, along with the leaders of Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Sweden and the Netherlands, have zero children among them, a feat perhaps never matched in European history. This startling fact has led some to speculate that as a group these leaders have less of a stake in the future of their nations because they have no children of their own.
President Macron got into hot water recently when he chided African nations for having too many children, bringing an avalanche of accusations of racism crashing down upon his head.
As European nations wallow in negative population growth, the French President blamed big families for Africa’s poverty and underdevelopment. Asked about the development of Africa at the......

That’s an ugly face. And an ugly future.
As much as I love Archbishop Chaput, I have to say that this is pretty rich coming from someone who never met an illegal alien that he didn’t like.
Maybe for France, Britain and Germany. But not Poland, that’s for sure.
“How can a simple observation of demographic reality be ‘controversial’?” she asked rhetorically.
Poland’s birthrate is zot. Poles, on the other hand, are doing very nicely in my neighborhood. They’re electricians and appliance repairmen, and often have at least five children.
A$$hat. They have lots of children because it's their main income source by way of welfare on the backs of tax payers. In their own countries they're more than happy to blow them up with suicide vests.
Ironically, the churches (both flavors) are the worst enemies of Western Civilization. (BTW, I see what you did there - no hat...Chaput...well played!)
Germany is pulling in a lot of immigrants from the rest of Europe, notably from Poland. Increasing even more now because of Brexit.
Is Poland some how a seed of truth in the insane construct of the EU?!
Religion is a thing that can change including Islam. So much for a little thing called Faith. The Pope also has no children and was in the Philippines saying they have too many children. Again, so much for Faith.
That’s just demographics...
Even in their crappy home countries, they have more kids.
Welfare or no welfare.
This is no different than pointing out a demographic group with a 40% suicide rate doesn’t need access to major weapons systems.
If one culture has 1 child per woman... and another culture has 5... who is going to dominate by sheer numbers in 100 years?
It’s just math.
To the left, math is racist. To the right, math is ... I don’t know, simplistic, or insufficiently messianic, or something.
Shortly after WWII or I, there was a slogan that was pushed by the government in England in order to re-populate their ranks after suffering devastating loses of young men in war.
“Lie back and Think of England”
Today, well today our leaders in both political and so-called moral or Religious positions are celebrating abortion, gender fluidity, homosexuality and any number of narcissistic behaviors while simultaneously celebrating the proficiency in which Muslims are producing children.
WTF?
The world has gone mad and we are witnessing its destruction .
God help us All
That's pretty much what I think. On the other hand, most people in the world (that is, Chinese and Indians) have no idea of this weirdness.
“Islam has a future because Islam believes in children,” Chaput said.
<<<>>>
He is right.
On the other hand, most people in the world (that is, Chinese and Indians) have no idea of this weirdness.
Nevermind the Japanese.

Our neighbors since we can’t imagine that people are so frickin stupid that we don’t challenge the politically correct crap out of fear of being labeled.
Ignorance, insanity and uncertainty is the new normal and to hold any position that proclaims truth, is being rejected as some relative construct that has an historical bias coming from white Christian men.

Chaput was a NeverTrumper. He’s just playing his game of sucking up to “conservatives” before stabbing them in the back again. It’s an endless game with him.
Chaput saw no difference betwee Trump and Hillary.
He’s right and Europe will no longer be our ally in twenty years. We should be preparing for total war if WWIII starts off with Muslims running Europe.
I sometimes wonder what effect a very accurate language interpretation device in the ear is going to have on the world.
No doubt very huge. In a developed country like Germany with a successful economy the impact will be greatly felt with many people streaming in. While Muslims who will prefer their social benefits (Germany has a law against “benefits tourism”) stay home in France, etc.
In a short time thereafter, we will laugh remebering all these hysterical lamantations os Muslims taking over... at least in Germany.
A miracle was mentioned, I just gave 99.99% of that miracle happening. Enjoy the angst though, while it lasts. :)
True, and the Catholic Church, under francis, is helping turn Europe into a machete-swinging, woman-mutilating, child-abusing, gay-killing, car-burning, allahu-akhbarring hell hole.
