...and short of a miracle it won't be long.
Raymond De Souza made this observation in a recent article in The Wanderer:
Nobody lives forever. People are born, grow up, live their lives, however short or long they may be, and then die. So the church depends, for her continued existence and normal increase, on the offspring of Christian parents; children must be born for life to continue, even in the Church. Without children being born, there is no future society, there is no Church. Therefore, parents are the agents of the Church in the education of her children.
