Adults who have pets instead of children are selfish, per the Pope

Well, he is the world's leading authority on child rearing, so I guess he must be right

quote:
Pope Francis this week criticized individuals who opt for having pets instead of children, saying that a “denial of fatherhood or motherhood diminishes us.”
The pope on Wednesday made the comments while speaking about the figure of Joseph serving as the “foster father” of Jesus.
“Joseph shows us that this type of bond is not secondary; it is not an afterthought, no,” Pope Francis said. “This kind of choice is among the highest forms of love, and of fatherhood and motherhood. How many children in the world are waiting for someone to take care of them.”
He also lauded individuals around the world who adopt children and called for simplifying adoption procedures.
But he added that “Today … we see a form of selfishness," and that some individuals “do not want to have children, or just one and no more,” as translated in multiple reports.
“And many, many couples do not have children because they do not want to, or they have just one – but they have two dogs, two cats… Yes, dogs and cats take the place of children,” he said.

He’s trying to tell you white people are being breeded out of existence. It’s happening in Europe and they are starting here. Zionist Marxist Jews and islamists have the same agenda

My dad threw this bomb out there in a group text and it did not go over well with my sister in law and brother (who are childless). They came back with some pedo retorts and that was that.

frick you pope! Why don't you make it easier to adopt children for those of us who can't conceive.

It's selfish to bring kids into this world

He knows the only way to grow the Catholic church is to be born into it. Nobody joins the Catholic Church by choice unless they marry in.

I'm Catholic and really dislike this pope a lot. But this was one of the first things he has said that I agree with. It's a massive problem in the West.

I’m sorry… what’s his view on pro abortion people getting communion again??
After his meeting last month with Pope Francis before the G-20 summit, and amid criticism from conservative bishops, Biden said that the pope told him that he should continue receiving Communion and said the pope called him a "good Catholic."

How many children does that POS have? Probably doesn't have a dog either. The guy is a communist.

It's selfish not to. To live is to struggle and sacrifice

Awww, his cult leaders are running out of children to molest?
^^^joke
On a serious note tho, the Catholic Church sitting on trillions of dollars while ignoring world problems like hunger and the holocaust back in the 40's isn't/wasn't a selfish stand in his eyes? Hilarious
