Trouble is the world's population is ever growing.

Partly because of improvements in healthcare & medicine.

Partly because certain religions ban the use of contraception.

Now More people require More food...

Unless of course, we start eating SOYLENT GREEN.

@1. Wouldn't it be easier to just exterminate those that plant soy? There can only be a limited market for soy sauce.

Couldn't agree with you more.
This chump is responsible for a large part of the population growth through his religious doctrine.

What a hypocrit? Anti birth control, anti abortion. The Catholic rabbits in SA have run out of land and are now destroying the rain forest. Cant he see the hypocracy in his stance. I suppose he is Argie and therefore quite thick and blind to reality. Richard Dawkins for Pope!

Well guys, you all beat me to it, especially The Voice.

The Dope of a Pope should be nailed to a tree along the lines of the mythical Jesus, just before they fell it to provide food for the RCC 'followers' aka stupid, delusional idiots.

Cynics the lot of you. A quick prayer and Manna and Quail will rain from the heavens ( Exodus 16 ). No need for Soy ; )

Hey Popesie:

What about funding your pedophile profligates in Milwakee with some of the vatican treasures. Then they can attempt to partially compensate the victims of priests for the damage they have wrecked on this community?

Then we can talk about the environment - OK?

I hope you would you still ask the Pope to make it right on priests' abuses even if Francisco weren't a supporter of the environment.

regarding 9:

“8.” is an example of sarcasm. In actuality, I would neither ask anything of or expect any proper action from - either a pope or a rotting raodkillian or both.
