Children are very expensive. Today, more and more people take this sentence literally. I do not. I object to the fact that large families and people raising children are being blamed for climate change. The idiocy appearing at the secular and European level has so far eluded our little country. How long will we be able to resist the anti-life propaganda coming full steam ahead, which thinks that it will save the Earth from destruction - asks András Gável in his article published on the vasarnap.hu portal .
We recently applauded the British royal couple as they solemnly announced that they would not have more than two children. They somehow agreed that they would not have a large family. For this reason, the organization campaigning for a sustainable human population called Harry and Meghan environmental role models for reducing their impact on the planet with their reproductive restraint.
The propaganda that tries to make us believe that one of the greatest dangers is the family is becoming louder and louder - especially if parents "accept the life that God gives their marriage". We have reached the point where anti-life began to serve life. The key to our survival: if we die. Almost.
The perfectly absurd reasoning has clearly lost the point of reference to which it could return again and again as a benchmark. In this wandering with no way out , the one who wants to consume more has more right, and the one who wants to simply live has less right.
Even before my demented brothers feel themselves in the saddle, I would just like to point out that in the midst of their fierce battles for the adoption of children, they should already realize that the little ones who have been taken in and sexually distorted at an early age are at least as much of a "burden" on our beloved planet as the burdens of large families .
Don't get me wrong, climate protection is important to me. However, I am strongly against comparing it to having children. Instead, I would rather advocate education for environmental awareness. My mother's ominous sentence, uttered at the table, with which she helped the last morsels that did not slide down easily into our mouths - "think that they are starving somewhere else" - has always been difficult for me to grasp because of the remoteness of the parable.
However, I really like my wife's upbringing, who always makes sure that our children only eat what they need right then and there. So we have to throw away less and less leftovers. And we can live a little bit of the Gospel teaching about providence: we don't have to worry about our livelihood, because tomorrow will take care of itself.
But so that I don't just blow my thoughts out of thin air, here is the survey conducted by the Mária Kopp Institute for Population and Families in the spring of 2020. They investigated how environmentally conscious average Hungarian families are. According to the research, 65% of families with children are actively committed to environmental protection, while this was only 42% for childless adults. Oops!
After this, allow me - at least in Hungary - to reject the assumption that large families are destroying the planet. 94% of Hungarian families raise their children in an environmentally conscious manner, and this attitude is mostly characteristic of large families.
Dear Harry and Meghan! Feel free to move here, to our little country! Here you can have all the children with which God will gift your marriage - as you promised with this sentence during your wedding. In other cases, please allow us to enjoy our more than two children from the bottom of our hearts! Maybe give away the third or fourth turkey to the more and more "proliferating" soul addicts. We still have very few of them. Let it stay like this, so that the planet lives!
