Jack E. McClellan of St. George, Utah, puts his finger on the enemy that maximizes the destruction of nature:
A while back the pope asked young Catholics to lighten their footprint on the Earth by keeping the air and water pure. I find it ironic - and very telling - that he did not mention the very reason the Earth’s air and water are being polluted and over-used, and the plants and animals stomped to pulp and extinction: Too many people.
It’s about time (way past time, actually) for the pope to declare that indiscriminate breeding is no longer a directive of God. “Multiply and replenish” has long been fulfilled. And perhaps, too, it’s time for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to receive a revelation that two kids - or maybe three if you slip up - are quite enough.
