The figure of 2.1 has long been accepted as that for a stable population and that allows for a higher death rate amongst males. This should now be of course lower, say 2.05, or even more so allowing for lower death rate amongst young men and ever increasing longevity.<br /><br />However the current EU figure of 1.5 (and that includes the very much higher figure for the immigrant Muslim population) means the EU population is heading for the floor and becoming increasingly Muslimised.<br /><br />But we ought to get facts right. I mean that idiot who said Birmingham was fully Muslim was wrong. It is only 27%.

An indeed the Creator of the human race himself, Who in his goodness wishes to use men as his helpers in the propagation of life, taught this when, instituting marriage in Paradise, he said to our first parents, and through them to all future spouses, "Increase and multiply and fill the earth" (Gen 1:28). As St. Augustine admirably deduces from the words of the holy Apostle St. Paul to Timothy (1 Tim 5:14) when he says: "The Apostle himself is therefore a witness that marriage is for the sake of generation" 'I wish,' he says, 'young girls to marry.' And, as if someone said to him, 'Why?' he immediately adds: 'To bear children, to be mothers of families.'"<br /><br />In paragraph 13 he goes on to say that not only are Christian parents given the blessing of children but they are also obligated to raise them to be "members of the Church of Christ, to raise up fellow citizens of the saints, and members of God's household (Eph 2:19), that the worshippers of God and Our Savior may daily increase."<br /><br />We are to create children and populate heaven with them! How beautiful!

Question : do we get to have 3 per subsequent marriage after divorce? <br /><br />direct translation from the Vatican Insider: <br /><br />I believe that three children per family, from what the experts say, is the key number for sustaining the population. The key word here is responsible parenthood and each person works out how to exercise this with the help of their pastor. … Sorry, some people think that in order to be good Catholics we have to breed like rabbits, right? Responsible parenthood: This is why there are marriage support groups in the Church with people who are experts on such issues; and there are pastors and I know that there are many acceptable solutions that have helped with this. And another thing: For poor people, children are a treasure, prudence is needed here too, it is true. Responsible parenthood but also recognizing the generosity of that father or mother who see their child as a treasure.<br /><br />Seattle KimUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14814310432165404818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-87409615221993048822015-01-20T17:46:17.578+00:002015-01-20T17:46:17.578+00:00@ Long skirts,

The term "responsible parenthood" is in that Encyclical for anyone who takes the trouble to read it. In fact I believe he is throwing down the gauntlet to anyone- and there are many- disposed to accuse the Catholic Church of insisting people "breed like rabbits". He may come across as somewhat artless but he has been saying a lot of very down-the-line orthodox stuff lately. I may not be enamoured of his liturgical style but he deserves credit where it is due.
