In his homily at Tuesday morning Mass, Pope Francis reflected on the blessing of fertility and the dangers of going down the path of self-imposed barrenness as some modern nations have done.
The Pope reminded his congregation in the chapel at his Saint Marta residence in the Vatican that the very first commandment God gives to man is to “be fruitful and multiply.” Fruitfulness in the Bible is always a blessing, he continued, because “where there is God, there is fruitfulness.”
In the ancient world, sterility was seen as a curse and fecundity as a blessing, Francis noted. And yet some countries today “have chosen the path of sterility and suffer from that grave disease that is a demographic winter.”
A Christian’s life must always be a fruitful and his heart always open “to receive and give life,” Francis said.

The no good sorry bastard, just wants more Catholics so that they can join the ranks of those that are already paying 10% of their earnings to that Beast of a church.
Just deny them entry, and cut off child support benefits for those who never paid any taxes there.
Yep…. Get with it folks…. maybe we can have a chance on catching up with the Muslims, who are proliferating our beautiful country as well as others. They are producing babies (by design)), having as many as humanly possible, and severely taxing our welfare system to the limits (also by design). I’ll do my best to help out-produce them and I hope that the people who read this response do the same. FIGHT ON !!!!! This is soft tissue war….
