Your article makes me think of the IVF topic that is becoming increasingly prevalent. I will just say it is our duty as Catholics to stand up and teach with love about Christ and the Church and also the problems in society. I appreciate your article and discussing these topics.
Nonetheless I agree that overpopulation scares are largely ridiculous. And thus also why we should dismiss paranoid claims about Islamification, so-called “white genocide” or so-called “white replacement”. Why we should dismiss talk of “migrant invasions”. Population growth simply does not follow any of models as proposed by those claims.
As someone who absolutely believes God is in charge and knows what He is doing, I don’t pay much attention to scares of any kind. I simply strive to do His Will to the best of my ability. Said another way by one far greater than I, “Pray and don’t worry.” This doesn’t mean we should be complacent. Far from it. To do God’s Will is active and very often sacrificial. But we must let God be God.
Let us not fail to also recognize what GK Chesterton wrote on tradition which is quite contrary to removing the four olds and promoting the two child policy.
“Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about.”
All of these population theories are incongruous with a comprehension of that democracy, the democracy of the dead. That includes millions of unborn who never saw the light of day for the unnatural materialism of “liberated” mothers. Here ‘ancestors’ gives way to a variation which is most horrifying. This originated from the contraceptive culture.
I have to laugh, knowing that Karl Marx despised the Malthusian school of economics. That much of Das Kapital is written as a reaction to Thomas Malthusian and his followers.
I promise not to accuse you of being a Marxist of some sort!

Excellent piece! I just discovered you! I look forward to many more!

Excellent! I love your very last sentence!
