Pets Replacing Kids? Weird Symptoms of an Anti-Child Culture
Why are so many people treating pets like children? And how is it related to our current demographic winter?
On this episode, Fr. Boquet explains why the “dog-mom” culture is a symptom of today’s population crisis. When young people are afraid to have children, they often bestow their natural affections on animals. Meanwhile, the birth rate drops.
So, how can we encourage young people to welcome children? What’s at the heart of their fears? Fr. Boquet offers advice on different ways pro-lifers can encourage couples to be open to life.
