Pope Says Having Pets Instead Of Kids “Robs Us Of Humanity”
Priests raping children robs people of humanity, but this freak is focused on pets? I guess the more people who have kids, the more potential victims for the Pope and his priests, so it makes sense that he’s encouraging procreation. Via France24:
Speaking on parenthood during a general audience at the Vatican, Francis lamented that pets “sometimes take the place of children” in society.
“Today… we see a form of selfishness,” said the pope. “We see that some people do not want to have a child.
“Sometimes they have one, and that’s it, but they have dogs and cats that take the place of children. This may make people laugh but it is a reality.”
The practice, said the head of the world’s 1.3 billion Catholics, “is a denial of fatherhood and motherhood and diminishes us, takes away our humanity”.
Thus, “civilisation grows old without humanity because we lose the richness of fatherhood and motherhood, and it is the country that suffers”, the pontiff said at the Paul VI Hall.
