BREED THEM INTO SUBMISSION (via Robert Schwartz):

Pope tells Catholics to multiply (Yahoo, 8/31/05)

Pope Benedict XVI told Catholics to have more babies "for the good of society," saying that some countries were being sapped of energy because of low birth rates.

"Having children is a gift that brings life and well-being to society," he told about 15,000 people at his weekly audience in the Vatican, to which he arrived by helicopter from his summer residence southeast of Rome.

He said the decline in the number of births "deprives some nations of freshness and energy and of hopes for the future incarnate in children."

The pope also spoke of "the security, the stability and the force of a numerous family."


Were they wiser the Europeans would be trying to outbid us for Catholic Latinos immigrants.

The Catholics aren't going to outbreed or even outconvert the Mormons.

They do start from a much larger (if shrinking) base.
