This is hilarious. People are leaving churches because they are actually finding the truth. Religion is nothing more than an attempt at total control. With all the scandalous garbage going on, the supposed religious leaders are proving it’s a scam.
leviticus 20:13 no matter what it is clear it says that saying sleeping with the same gender is indeed a abomination to god and grave sin and to add onto this even further when someone says the words"i am gay" it can mean different things as if u mean it with inclination then sure u can be a Christian however if you are actively gay and are gay in the terms then yes it is grave sin. And to even further add onto that if you look at any major Christian preacher or Bishop or anything such as Bishop mari mari he clearly says that being gay is an abomination to god. Mother angelica also says what i have repeated in my paragraph she says that overall being gay is a gave sin. and even the pope himself says being gay is a sin
GOOD! I never ever thought we need more people and cars out and about. I want there to be wide open spaces filled with nature, not pavement and concrete everywhere. This should be celebrated
Do y’all religious people not already get enough tax breaks, you want /more/ money from the rest of us? I’m a single mother by choice through sperm donor to 2 kids - I met and exceeded my replacement rate and there are plenty of successful, well-educated and stable women like me who want to have kids without the burden of a husband. We are the ones who need that $$ and all the time and opportunity society can afford to facilitate our childbearing. We need to be part of this discussion - the new forms of family, the modern concept of a village, the desire to raise children that does not come from fading and irrelevant religious beliefs. This problem of population decline is not a problem the religious created, so it’s not for you to solve, and nobody is interested in your solutions that only benefit those in your small, insular communities, least of all by our taxes ffs.
There are more older people than younger people. There are more uneducated people than educated people. There are more unskilled people than skilled people. Uneducated, unskilled, workforce where that the old people have never had it so good. For the next generation:a lost generation how are they suppose to live? If people can’t afford to live, then how do the people of the 21st century start to build a household?
If companies pay people a minimum of 25 pounds, dollars or euros an hour then maybe the majority will create children. However, the rich will say:”That’s socialism!”
Unrestricted abortion. Celebrations of hedonism. Out of control immigration. Whatever Democrats can use to gain more political power is their obvious agenda. They desire to fundamentally change the USA. The Judeo-Christian Foundations of this great experiment are being jackhammered to pieces by Dems greed for power, which is their religion now.
Power Power Power What does the Democratic Party become if pro life Dems leave? Exactly what the Democratic Party is now. A culture of power politics and corruption justified by relativistic thinking and greed for more and more power. The Democratic Party has given itself over to a rabid desire for power. They are actually very scary when you see what they truly believe and promote. They vote lock step, like clones.
Thank you for this conversation...I just left the government school system (9-12), and I know there are many concerns not only for K-12 but Higher Ed as well. God bless, peace +
The MAY SINS who are man witches- that have temples in every city of USA and operate through the Protestant church and Hollywood, and were given the entire State of Utah- have taken over my Catholic Church and my Catholic hospital- it literally says now- St Joes- a Masonic hospital - it was easy for me to see when it happened, I came in one day and it looked, and felt like- a fascist boot camp, and this is why they are using Latin, to divide the people and make people feel unwelcomed to the table of God and forgiveness.
'The Great Apostasy refers to a significant falling away from the Christian faith, often seen as a precursor to the rise of the Antichrist. This concept is rooted in several biblical passages, particularly in the New Testament. Key Points about the Great Apostasy: Biblical References: 2 Thessalonians 2:3: The Apostle Paul mentions that the day of the Lord will not come until the rebellion (apostasy) occurs and the “man of lawlessness” (often interpreted as the Antichrist) is revealed. Matthew 24:10-12: Jesus speaks of a time when many will fall away, betray, and hate one another, with false prophets leading many astray. Nature of the Apostasy: It involves a widespread abandonment of the faith by those who once professed to be Christians. This falling away is not just a general decline in belief but a significant and noticeable departure from core Christian doctrines and practices. Timing and Significance: The Great Apostasy is seen as an end-times event that occurs just before the return of Christ and the full revelation of the Antichrist. It serves as a trigger for the final events leading up to the Second Coming of Christ. The Rise of the Antichrist: The Antichrist is expected to appear after this period of apostasy, deceiving many and establishing a period of tribulation. His reign is often associated with making a peace treaty with Israel, which he later breaks, leading to severe persecution.' [AI]
I watched at least 10 videos on declining population and they could never explain why lower population is bad except for there won't be people to take care of the old ones. Why would it be bad for younger people? "2 kids are hard, because it's too few." Yeah because if you have more kids you can just use them to take care of the little ones you wanted. Seen it so many times. Mom and dad going out, having fun and the bigger kids have to be the parents all the time. There are multiple reasons why people are nit having kids. Way more money needed to give a proper education and upbringing to kids, young people can not afford housing, we have so much ro do instead of raising kids, hard to find a stable partner.
The UN recently released their newest forecasts and projected peak human population in the mid 2080's at about 10.8 billion. I will tell you that the UN has a long history of making the most optimistic/best case scenario forecasts on this front and then revising things down a year or two later. So that makes this a good upper bound because it's probably not going to be better than that. I have heard more than one demographer estimate that peak population is likely to between the 2050's and 2060's with 10 billion being on the high end and a few of them questioning if 9 billion is even in the cards. I saw one economist from Washington University give a presentation and his model was projecting a worst case scenario of peak population in the 2040's at about 8.8 billion. To be clear he wasn't predicting that, just saying that that was (as far as he could tell) the worst case scenario.
Jesuits being Jesuits. The progressive socialists of the Church. OF COURSE they would like to change the Church’s teaching but, like this priest said, the Church’s teachings are infallible.
I grew up in a very loving baby-boomer Christian family. Of five sons, all of us accepted Jesus, all of us were baptized, three of us went to seminary, one wrote worship music, another was a canon to the ordinary. Today, none of these sons attended church and have no desire to. Just saying.
Thank you Bree for your inspiring testimony. As a man addicted to this vice for 50+ years your story touched my heart. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.

It's up to each couple to decide what size their family is. We hear so much about married couples having too many children and yet if you critique a single woman who's never been married with multiple children, we are told to be quiet.
It's a matter of health and longevity, not wealth per se. People nowadays live longer, women don't die in over 50% of births. Even some homeless people live longer than the majority of serfs and slaves in Antiquity and the Middle Ages. So with more people living past their opportunity to have kids you end up with more people living at the same time, hence the "population growth". If one couple has 2 children and those children have 2 children each, you have about 20 years when the 3 generations live on this planet at the same time, enough to be counted, consume and even produce income at the same time. So 8 people (not counting their spouses) from the same family live at the same time, inflating the numbers. But further down the line, if the third generation has only one child, or one of the children decides not to have children the decline isn't immediately, but occurs when the previous generations disappear. The decline is a problem because it involves subsidizing old people who stop producing. And this is a vicious circle (see Japan). If you have to finance and take care of grandparents into their 90s, the resources, housing, taxes and TIME left to go dating, work, have kids, raise kids is not enough. You either change children's diapers, or those of parents/grandparents.
What people need to understand is that it is not a problem of reducing the number of people, it's the fact that there will be more old retired people compared to young ones. If you think that having kids takes a lot of money and time, enjoy looking after 3-6 old people, most of which won't even be related to you Right now countries have 2-4 working people per 1 retired person, with a low birth rate that can flip really hard and you can have only 1 working person per 3-7 retired people.
@@nicolejennings8389 Either that or enjoy being over-taxed to oblivion to do so, to the point you won't have money to do anything but work, eat and sleep. Or are you suggesting mustached men tactics from about 80-90 years ago(censored)?
So what you are saying that the problem isn't having too few children, but having too many old people? The world is overpopulated, the XX.century population boom was a mistake. We won't solve the problem by keeping up that population number.
That's a component but it's a small component. It's a small component because it is only relevant if people are actively trying and wanting to have children. People are actively trying not to have kids. Not having babies is the goal for vast amounts of people and in that case.....difficulty reproducing is a benefit.
I do not trust the government okay, it is not a just, or efficient system, but what i trust significantly less is any church leadership, not that im sure they dont have some good intentions. But ultimately religion is going to try to change others, and in some ways they have the right to try, but not through politics, that is what is so disturbing about politics today. It is way too religious and religion creates distinction and division and as a country that is the last thing we need
I've been listening and reading about the population decline research and debates for years now, and I just can't agree that it's a catastrophy. I think most of the people born in human history were unplanned, and women had little choice in how many kids they brought into this world. Many boys and men died in war, many women died in childbith, and many infants didnt live to see their first birthday. I think we are just seeing what happend when women can choose, and people are living longer because of less war and more medical technology. Also, there will always be women who want big families, and there will always be women who want small ones. I do think that if we are being honest, in affluent countries, if you want your child to be in the upper middle class or higher, then you have to pour a lot of resources into raising that child. Therefore, a woman and her partner have to have enough economic stability and resources in order to give that child the best chance possible. That being said, I do think most women would have 2-3 children, but that requires a lot of partner, family and community support and resources, and I just don't see most women having access to all three.
One more thought. After listening to Dr. Pakaluk's solution of bringing motherhood back into the foreground of culture, I don't think that's a bad idea. She is also right that it's going to take more than just giving women money to have kids to do it. I like the doctor's research, and really want her to interview different populations. It appears there is something different in India and Nigeria where child birth rates are not falling. I wonder if the importance on getting married and having children have to do with their high slum and extreme poverty populations. Meaning, the lesson is without a strong family and social bound, you can easily slip into destitution. I wish I could get behind the religion idea as it is obviously where developed countries are still finding people wanting to sacrifice for family and children, but I have no desire to be a believer. However, I'm not naive enough to believe I am without religion. I do believe that we all serve somebody, or something. Like it or not, it may be the Self, or your sense of duty to be a good person (whatever that means to each person), or money, but we all serve something.
"The cost of children is your time - both night and day" 👍 That is exactly right. I never thought about it like that, but it is true. And you have to pretend that everything is great, never loose a day at work, evne if the child has been crying all night and all you want to do is sleep :) And later, you always have tomake sure someone is at home to look after the child, before you do something outside the home
Air. Land and water, all polluted, franking is polluting our aquifer, ground water, China 🇨🇳 already is polluted....can't dig wells...but our military has been using water generators for decades...
If only your parents had said that we wouldn’t be forced to endure such an inane comment. The world today is objectively the best it’s ever been. Don’t blame the world for the fact that you just don’t want kids. Just be honest.
@@Recuper8 a little over a century ago your nephew would have been working a mine by the time he was 5 years old. If you don’t think the present is objectively better than that, something is wrong with you.
So out of touch. The problem is that most of us are living much more precariously than ever. So many are a few missed pay checks from homelessness and these two are saying we have toothpaste so we can afford kids. F all the way off.
