In this audio recording by Fr. Paul Marx, O.S.B., founder of Human Life International, you learn how the crisis of declining populations of so many countries is directly linked to the world's rejection of traditional Catholic teachings on abortion and birth control. Here are just a few astonishing facts Fr. Marx explains:
Of the 45 countires in Europe, only two are reproducing beyond replacement level: the predominantly Catholic Malta and the predominantly Muslim Albania.
Even Catholic Poland is not producing enough children and allows exceptions for abortion.
In Mexico, the old will soon outnumber the young and there will not be enough people working to support those who do not work.
Fr. Marx died on March 20, 2010 in Collegeville, MN. Known as "The Father of the International Pro-Life Movement", he was ordained in 1947 and has a doctorate in Family Sociology. His missionary work for life has brought him to all 50 states and 91 coountries. He was twice branded "Public Enemy #1" by Planned Parenthood and was been called the "Apostle of Life" by the late Pope John Paul II.
