Uh, Matt, everybody is a native of someplace, so this doesn't quite
work.
 
On the other hand you would be quite correct to point out that Italy,
Quebec, Portugal, Ireland, Roman Catholic cultures all, have extremely
low birth rates, while Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, all Protestant or
non-Xian, have spectacularly high ones.
 
Yuri's anti-Pope rant is nothing but the most ignorant of old
fashioned religious bigotries, and it uttterly without basis in fact.
