Many Western people, perhaps most, are not guilty of having more children than they can support.
The people who are irresponsible, and have far more children than they can support, are mostly in third-world countries and, of course, the Catholic church encourages that as well.
Because they cannot breed responsibly, their countries become overpopulated and cannot support the numbers who live there, so what do they do? They come here for the support they can't get in their own countries.
All because they cannot control their own societies.
So as well as destroying their own countries, they do the same to ours.
That appears to be our future too.
The Catholic Church has NOT been encouraging them .
This is very largely a myth .
It once was the case .
Nearly fifty years ago when I was a young girl living in South America and a Catholic myself I spoke to a priest about this .
How to justify very poor people not using birth control etc etc .
He told me he would never condemn poor people using contraception and most of the priests who work with the poor don’t .
They know the misery of raising large families in slum conditions .
Maybe things have changed but I doubt it .
It depends on personal responsibility.
In Africa and the Caribbean people believe in having children .
Men think it’s a macho thing and they are often irresponsible.
Plenty children shows ones virility .
In the West people do have less children but those children use far more of the worlds resources tha poor children in third world countries .
