RE: Are you asking about the Popemobile?
The author does mentioned it in the article (COPY AND PASTE ):
“Pope Francis has sealed himself off in an ideological bubble that is harder and more impenetrable than the Popemobile. He refuses to recognize that there are alternative ideas outside the leftist orthodoxy on capitalism and the environment. The result is a sense that I’ve never quite gotten before from a papal encyclical: the sense of the pope as a narrow ideologue, captive to a relatively recent political fad.”
This, I just plain don’t get (in one way).
The Roman Catholic church is a worldwide church, isn’t it?
So why is this pope acting like it’s some little corner of Brazil?
The Pope is living in the early 1970s, which were clearly his glory days, ideologically speaking. Rachel Carson’s faux science book, Silent Spring, had managed to stop DDT use and let millions of Third World people die from malaria, Paul Erlich was in his prime, and hysteria was breaking out on every side.
He boasts that he hasn’t watched anything on television since 1960 and he has never been on the Internet and he only reads La Repubblica...for 10 minutes a day. So where exactly is he getting the information in his bubble? From his cronies and sycophants, who are busy feeding his ignorant ideological biases.
