ACCORDING to Voice of America, those who know a bit about the private lives of rabbits are none too pleased with “Pope” Francis’s recent remarks suggesting rabbits are irresponsible parents. Apparently rabbits are more restrained than is commonly believed. In captivity at least, they definitely do not observe God’s injunction to “be fruitful and multiply:”

Speaking Tuesday with Deutsche Presse Agentur, Erwin Leowsky, president of the central council of the Association of German Rabbit Breeders, took issue with pope’s analogy, saying that only rabbits that live in the wild are sexually overactive. He said those in captivity have tamer reproductive habits.

Leowsky also said he thought Francis should skip the misleading cliches about rabbits and allow Catholics to use contraceptives.

It occurs to me that rabbits in captivity may have a lot in common with human beings in captivity. Captivity, that is, to lies. Lies about life, about the human soul, about immortality (or the lack of it) and about what God wants from us.

Anyway, rabbits don’t get into any of that. They really don’t have many “issues.” Read more on Rabbits vs. Catholics here.
