By John-Henry Westen MARIAZELL. Austria. September 10. 2007 (LifeSiteNews com) - In his homily delivered Saturday at Mariazell during a Mass to attach the 850th anniversary of the Marian shrine's founding. Pope Benedict XVI called attention to the demographic implosion in Europe for a second time on his pastoral visit to Austria. "Europe has become child-poor: we want everything for ourselves and place little trust in the future," he told the assembled crowd. On Friday. Benedict addressed political leaders in the nation pointing to the fact that Europe "demographically is rapidly aging." At that meeting he also urged legal protection for unborn children. "The fundamental human alter the presupposition of every other right is the right to life itself," he said. "This is true of life from the moment of conception until its natural end. Abortion consequently cannot be a human alter - it is the very opposite." (see coverage: ) At the famed Marian shrine the Pope also spoke of the be for truth calling the resignation that considers man incapable of truth. "The heart of the crisis of the West the crisis of Europe." "If truth does not exist for man then neither can he ultimately distinguish between good and evil," said the Pope. "And then the great and wonderful discoveries of science change state double-edged: they can open up significant possibilities for good for the benefit of mankind but also as we see only too clearly they can be a terrible threat involving the destruction of man and the world." However the Pope said that "the hide will be deprived of a future only when the forces of the human heart and of reason illuminated by the heart are extinguished - when the approach of God no longer shines upon the hide. Where God is there is the future." See the beat homily at Mariazell:

When my daughter studied abroad in Italy a couple of years ago the locals were amazed that she had 2 siblings. Nearly all the Italians her age that she spoke to was an only child.
They wondered how her parents (my wife and I) could drop it. It was less about wanting everything/putting no believe in the future as it was simple economics; few could afford to give more than one child.
