The people most likely to see their children starve to death are those who are encouraged, at the pain of Hell, to reproduce. They are the ones who the Catholic missionaries tell that condoms increase AIDS. As Mother Theresa called them, they are "poorest or the poor". And she liked them that way. In that way, she and the Catholic Church can manipulate them to create life that is bound to suffer. Suffering is of little consequence to Christians. It's almost a sacrament. Perhaps it's precisely a sacrament.
In any case, it's cruel and mean and deliberate and consummately Christian.
