Does The Church exist to keep people poor, like the Rats?

Even assuming global warming is doing what they claim, trying to help the poor by addressing global warming is unbelievably inefficient.

Third world countries have actual structural poverty.

In western nations poverty is largely the consequence of making poor life choices, which is something the Church actually could help people with.

[Ban Ki-moon arrived at the Vatican with his own college of cardinals]

And so it marches on.

The new narrative: poor people are poor because of climate change.

Part of me thinks you can’t make this stuff up, but clearly someone did.

What a waste of time and effort.

This Pope needs to take a nice long sabbatical.

A review of history will show that overall man prospered with an abundance of food and health when it was warmer. And starved and was more sickly when it was cooler.

Now all the sudden the earth’s temperature is exactly right... Any warmer or any cooler and terrible things will happen... Science is now politics...

When it’s really hot the poor suffer.
When it’s really cold the poor suffer.

There you go.

This pope is a communist. He supports the globalists agenda.
Yet people still doubt this even after he shoves things like
this in their face. The church has been infiltrated with
the minions of evil just like our government.

The biggest thing affecting the poor is corruption. Maybe the Pope would like to address that. Surely, he could influence his Catholic politicians.

Dear Pope...Don’t forget to remind the world that the sun revolves around the earth.

How utterly stupid to blame climate change for hurting the poor.

What do these "world leaders" suggest? If only we could go back to 1915 the poor would be sooo much better off?

Get a clue Francis!

A Pope is supposed to be the keeper of the faith, yet this one is far more interested in promoting socialist agendas.

I left the Catholic Church years ago. But if I was still in the RCC, I could not consider this Pope to be my spiritual leader. I can only imagine true Catholics are deeply embarrassed.

I fear he is laying the foundation for something much worse to come.

Climate does not discriminate.

Humans do NOT impact the climate.

Pope Francis to Explore Climate’s Effect on World’s Poor

There must be money in it.

The environmentalist agenda will keep most of the worlds poor in developing countries in poverty. It takes affordable energy to develop modern societies. Would the pope have us all go back to pre-industrial societies living in villages with horse powered agriculture? There is another ugly facet of the environmentalists...some want to limit population not only with birth control and mandatory sterilization, but with forced euthanasia and abortion.

Sad, sad waste of his bully pulpit.

There are only about 10,000 things that affect the poor more than this.

Maybe that prophecy was correct, and Benedict XVI was indeed the last Pope.

The hoped for draconian Cap N’ Trade type laws are what MAKE poor people.

These moronic laws will keep the poorest of the poor down longer and make many billions of us all poorest.

All for a hoax.

Hey pontiff,
I thought there was something in the Bible about NOT lying.
By way of example you should not promote the lie of manmade global warming or you will risk hellfire.
