A human dilemma

David Attenborough states that human beings have become a “plague on the Earth”.

Our Church in Rome condemns contraception, abortion, sterilisation (tubal ligation and vasectomy) and any act antithetical to God’s Biblical command: “Go forth and multiply”. Should God’s command be modified — “Go forth and multiply until the world is full”? Or should Attenborough be condemned for expressing heretical views? Isn’t all human life sacred? The answer is unclear.
