St. John Chrysostom wrote: "...virginity is better than marriage, however good.... Celibacy is...an imitation of the angels. Therefore, virginity is as much more honorable than marriage, as the angel is higher than man. But why do I say angel? Christ, Himself, is the glory of virginity." [75]
Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, said that the first commandment given to men was to increase and multiply, but now that the earth was full there was no need to continue this process of multiplication. [76]
What incredible theology of impending doom this is and this by all the great early Church fathers unamimously across the board. At least pious nimrod Cyprian finally gets it, that there are too many of us on the planet, and that was 240ad in Rome. Try justifying morality when there 9Bil people on the planet in another 20yrs dimmy then wait till you see that world in 2100 when there's 11bil people.
