The only reas...Douthat spewing tendentious blather. The only reason that the RCC isn't losing MORE members is immigration, and the only reason there are still so many RC immigrants is the poverty that comes with (among other reasons, to be sure) overpopulation. And the reason there is so much RC overpopulation, is <i>teaching that it is a mortal sin to use birth control</i>. That's not winning an argument, that's use the WORST kind of coercive manipulation! <br /><br />It is flat-out WRONG to use demographics to "PROVE" Truth or Righteousness or somesuch. Look at Islamist birthrates---does that make THEM "correct"? Then again, perhaps Douthat just suffers from some Sharia-Envy. Your ISIS paradise awaits, Ross (one way or another).
