Not ashamed to tell it how it is.
Bishops of Oceania have been remarkably tight-lipped about this important issue.
The west is committing suicide. It is simply yielding to a contraceptive culture. Even Pope Francis has been caught up in his reference
to Catholics who “breed like rabbits”.
The cold hard facts are that those who are fecund are the mainstay of society, and three, four, or more children should be the norm and not
the exception; which means that those who do breed will simply overtake any other culture, including Christianity.
Europe is dying because it is not breeding. French Catholics are pressured by Macron (who wants to tax more), and their future is at risk.
Its not just Notre Dame burning. Two churches are desecrated each day on average in France.
News media generally don’t print the painful nitty gritties, simply because society has been conditioned by motion picture, specifically
TV, and as screenwriters all know if they want to stay in business, the bottom line is “Don’t ever make the viewer feel bad”
This means take the easy road, take the soft option, and enjoy.
The cross which should be a significant part of Catholic activity generally is ignored, and the anthropocentric takes over from the Christocentric.
Sad, very sad. This means youth who are quick to pick up on such attitudes decide for a soft materialistic lifestyle, and building family is side-stepped
for a trip overseas, wining and dining, a second house at the beach, two cars etc.
Family building is a must, and should always be encouraged.
Cardinal Philippe Ouédraogo is a very brave man.
Africa, particularly Nigeria is targeted.
