I will diverge from the pope. While it’s true that most of the damage to the planet comes from lower birth-rate-per-capita nations, it doesn’t follow that increasing the size of the world’s population will help.
Oooh, clunker? They’ve been placing this burden on “children” for generations. How about cleaning up our own messes, so they don’t have to? Seems a bit more fair than expecting those who didn’t cause it to do it for us.

I see the point. We really must do more to reverse the damage we’re doing to our planet.

“Young people will save the planet, demand justice, stop wars, because it’s their future.”
That’s certainly what the last generation of children has done, isn’t it? /S
How about, ‘Hey, it’s my future, not yours!’

“Pope Francis seems to get younger, more childlike as he ages.”
What’s the difference between innocence and ignorance?

How many children of their own do these hypocrites have?
