Thats why India has no overpopulation or misery, no Catholics?

Actually, it has been increasing at a rate that is lower than India, lower
than Africa, lower than Asia, so it must be doing some good, right?

Did it ever occur to you that you are acting as an knee-jerk reactionary for
an anti-religious liberal agenda?

The fact is that the Catholic countries are no worse and probably better at
caring for their poor and limiting population growth than non-catholic

that you will never look at any religious issue without bias. Keep hating
Christians all you want, the only person you are hurting is yourself.
