From The Hill:
Pope Francis weighed in Wednesday on a subject that has played a major role in U.S. political discourse in recent weeks, praising those who choose to have children instead of “a cat or a small dog, and not a child.”
In remarks while visiting the presidential palace in Indonesia on Wednesday, Francis lamented the “lack of true and forward-looking commitment to implement the principles of social justice” in certain countries that has left people without the means to support themselves or a potential family.
