Do you agree?

So why doesn't he have kids and act as a good roll model ?

Here in Bulgaria people never grow up and they give birth to ugly and immature people who stay like this all their life because there in nothing to change them. They adore their ugliness and stupidity and when you try to abstract from such people it is very possible to be destroyed out of jealousy.

Isn't that a bit ludicrous considering that him and his Clergy most likely will have no Offspring?

That's true sometimes. Actually having children can be really selfish. The Pope should have told my mother the opposite; she loved her babies until they were no longer babies.
Some people have children and expect them to grow up to be what the parent wants. Again, selfish.
Some people just adopt to help children; unselfish.
Some people know they would suck as parents; they know you can't change selfish.
Some people don't have children because they are indeed selfish, but who cares? No one is suffering because of these people.

... that we know about!

I think having children you can't support is selfish.

wow, I agree again

its selfish to MAKE children (that involves the part that feels good) that you don't really want

its selfish to MAKE children just because of your own wants and desires


its not sefish to make or adopt children into a home that considers THEIR wants and needs, provides mother and father,,,etc,,,

its not selfish to make or adopt children that one can support, or to end up after at some point not being able to support them

raising children takes years,, at any given point our circumstances can change,,,,and might change,,

No, I don't agree with the pope.

a certain amount of selfishness is necessary for survival

yes, it is selfish not to have kids, but that doesn't make it bad


it just means you want to spend life focusing on yourself,,,and by itself that's not a bad thing to want,,,

So...
The priesthood is getting lonely,
and the pope is trying to guilt trip people into creating "fresh meat"?
