Pope Francis on Concerns re: Low Birth Rate

"Pope Francis decried the low birth rate in Western countries on Thursday, describing it as an urgent social emergency and a 'new poverty.'

"'It is not immediately perceptible, like other problems that occupy the news, but it is very urgent: fewer and fewer children are being born, and this means impoverishing everyone's future; Italy, Europe, and the West are impoverishing their futures,' Pope Francis said in a message to a May 12 event . . ."

A recent Catholic News Agency article reported on Pope Francis' message.
