Pope Tells Catholics To Stop Breeding Like Rabbits

  

This made me smile. Why? Because it reminded me of a conversation I once had with a colleague of mine, who is also a Pentecostal Pastor. He asked me how many kids I have, and when I told him, he actually became angry with me, and asked if I wanted God to also be angry with me. He told me to hurry up and have many more kids.

I asked him how many kids he has, and he replied,10 kids! I didn't tell him this, but in my mind, I was wondering why someone who usually asks me for fuel money, and complains about heavy family responsibilities, would be encouraging another person to have as many kids as himself, because the bible says, "Go into the world and multiply"

Personally, I think the church (not just Catholics alone), should review its stand on family planning, and from the look of things, Pope Francis thinks so too
He raised a few eyebrows recently for indirectly advocating for birth control methods. While traveling from the Philippines to Rome with reporters, the religious leader made a statement thatCatholics may have a moral responsibility to limit the number of their children.
According to The National Catholic Reporter, Francis shared the story of a woman he recently met who had given birth to seven children via Cesareans section and was expecting another child.He asked the unidentified woman...

"Does she want to leave the seven orphans?""This is to tempt God,". "That is an irresponsibility." Catholics, should speak of "responsible parenthood.""God gives you methods to be responsible," "Some think that—excuse the word—that in order to be good Catholics we have to be like rabbits. No." He said Each person must have a healthy dialogue with his or her's pastor and seek "how to do that responsible parenting."
