A extraordinária coerência do "papa Francisco"

 

«At the same time, however, Francis made a statement that seems without precedent for a pope, suggesting that parents may have a responsibility to limit the number of their children, saying: “This does not signify that the Christian must make children in series.”

Telling the story of a woman he met in a parish in Rome several months ago who had given birth to seven children via Cesarean section and was pregnant with an eighth, Francis asked: “Does she want to leave the seven orphans?”

“This is to tempt God,” he said, adding later: “That is an irresponsibility.” Catholics, the pope said, should speak of “responsible parenthood.”

“How do we do this?” Francis asked. “With dialogue. Each person with his pastor seeks how to do that responsible parenthood.”

“God gives you methods to be responsible,” he continued. “Some think that — excuse the word — that in order to be good Catholics we have to be like rabbits. No.” »

« “Muitas crianças, desde o início, são rejeitadas, abandonadas, privadas da sua infância e do seu futuro. Alguns atrevem-se a dizer – como que a justificar-se – que foi um erro fazê-las vir ao mundo. Isto é vergonhoso! Não descarreguemos as nossas culpas sobre as crianças, por favor! As crianças nunca são um erro”, disse na Praça de S. Pedro, perante milhares de pessoas. »
