Pope Francis appears to be on a mission to have his cake and eat it, too, expressing concern for rampant poverty and too-large families while maintaining the Catholic Churchs opposition to modern contraception and criticising government policies encouraging smaller families. In his homily, the Pope urged Filipinos to shun social structures which perpetuate poverty, ignorance and corruption, a theme he stressed when he held talks with President Benigno Aquino on Friday. Aquino attended the Mass. Francis also took another swipe at the governments population control efforts, saying the family was under threat from insidious attacks and programmes contrary to all that we hold true and sacred.
