not to mention an organisation that doesn’t have a great track record with the care and safety of children!Strange definition of selfish from the figurehead of an organisation that holds billions of dollars-worth of hoarded wealth whilst encouraging overpopulation in some of the world’s poorest countries, but ok.
That’s hilarious!Choosing pets over babies is ‘selfish and diminishes us’, says pope

And has engaged in the coverup of the sexual abuse of god knows how many children over the years in order to maintain their reputation. Why on earth would anyone listen to the Catholic church's opinion on children??Strange definition of selfish from the figurehead of an organisation that holds billions of dollars-worth of hoarded wealth whilst encouraging overpopulation in some of the world’s poorest countries, but ok.
The argument usually is that you’re ’selfish’ because you’re not producing a person whose purpose is to look after you when you get old. I’ve never quite got the logic in that - surely it’s incredibly selfish to create a person with the intention that they will provide care for you - and there’s a lot of flawed logic in that statement, but there you go.I’ve never delved any deeper into the alleged ‘selfish’ argument as I literally can’t engage with these idiots but who exactly are we offending and how? The current climate politically, economically etc is terrible, we’re in a pandemic and there is a housing shortage and overpopulation so how does choosing to not procreate hurt anyone? They wouldn’t say that to a new mum, in fact it seems the minute you give birth they ask when your next one will be.
I’ve yet to hear a really compelling argument on this subject.
Let's not forget that women who decided to stay-at-home to look after their children are called lazy or leeches when their husbands divorce them.I do feel women can't win here - no children and you're selfish. Many children and again, you're selfish.
No one have ever explained why being childfree is selfish. I certainly (I can't have children) wouldn't want to bring a child into the world, given the current state.
It’s not just men - there are plenty of nuns who abused kids and women who were unfortunate enough to get pregnant out of wedlock. Either way, the Catholic church really isn’t in a position to be saying anything about children.The Roman Catholic church are utter wankers (probs literally as they're celebrate)
Won't allow contraception
Won't allow terminations
Women are selfish for not having kids.
I tend to be wary of a group of men who have an appalling track record of child abuse.
Personally this baffles me because whether or not you have a child has no bearing on their fertilityRE the selfish argument, I've had someone say to me before "there's women who want kids and can't have"...
Erm OK? Not really my fault, I could be infertile? Their choice to want kids and just been unfortunate to not be able to have via natural means, my choice to not. It does really baffle me
I know, think I've had it said twice to me and both times I was just likePersonally this baffles me because whether or not you have a child has no bearing on their fertility
