Pope Francis has called on childless couples to adopt children and is urging institutions to make the adoption process easier; he also has condemned the practice of adopting pets instead of children, calling it a "form of selfishness," the VOA News website reports today (January 6, 2022).
In his first general audience of the New Year, Pope Francis stressed the importance of parenthood, especially when so many children have been orphaned in the world.
He said every time a person takes on the responsibility of someone else's life, the person is exercising a form of parenthood. The pope called on people not to fear choosing the path of adoption, saying it is among the highest forms of love and parenthood.
