Pope calls Couples who do not to have Children 'Selfish' and 'Greedy'

Catholic Pope Francis has branded couples who choose not to have children 'selfish' and said they are part of a  'greedy generation' and  a 'depressed society' that considered offspring to be a weight or a risk.

 

'A society with a greedy generation, that doesn't want to surround itself with children, that considers them above all worrisome, a weight, a risk, is a depressed society,' he said, the Guardian reported.

 

Pope Francis made the remarks in front of a large crowd during his weekly general audience in St Peter's Square, Rome.

 

Addressing the crowd, he said life 'rejuvenates' when children arrive and they 'enrich it.'

 

'The choice to not have children is selfish. Life rejuvenates and acquires energy when it multiplies: It is enriched, not impoverished.' 

From your opinion is the Pope fair or not to term such couple selfish?
