is around 1.72.
This means that in FOUR Parenting
generations its population growth will
be a MINUS, and around 54% of its
original population.
The EMPHASIS should be on
encouragement of heterosexuals
to build Catholic families,WHILE they can.
“Gays” and “Lesbians” can NEVER fall in
love- no projection onto anima or
animus here. Nor can they ever
produce children like Heterosexuals.
Society will not ostracise their
abnormality any more than it does
to downs syndrome folk, which are
well cared for along with others.
Perhaps a special blessing for mothers
who have FOUR or more children would
be nicer, given the trials of normal
heterosexual motherhood.
Hungarian families for instance look
forward to a tax-free exemption
FOR LIFE, if they have four or more
children.
Would that help the Catholic church?
More Catholics means more vocations
to the priesthood, doesn’t it?
