From The Guardian: Pope Francis will this week call for changes in lifestyles and energy consumption to avert the “unprecedented destruction of the ecosystem” before the end of this century, according to a leaked draft of a papal encyclical. In a document released by an Italian magazine on Monday, the pontiff will warn that failure to act would have “grave consequences for all of us”.

Glad I’m not Catholic. Would hate to have to obey a perfect being.
This nonsense again? I’m a Catholic and certainly don’t have to listen to the Pope on this issue. And neither does any other Catholic.
Well here comes the “global warming” offering basket at every Mass
The Pope should stick to Religion and God and leave the things of Caesar to Caesar.
I'm Catholic but that doesn't mean that the Pope has any influence on me when my knowledge of a technical subject is better than the Pope's.
Go say a Novena.
Good. He’s full of it.
Pope Francis’ Climate-Change Encyclical Leaked Four Days Early by Italian Magazine

This Pope will continue the Church’s march to irrelevance if he doesn’t deal with real issues; communities of sisters are disappearing because if it all comes down to radical leftist politics, women don’t have to take vows of poverty or celibacy to participate. This nonsense from Francis seems to be just more of the same.
I’m Catholic but Jesus never said there should be a succession of infallible leaders. There is something very wrong with this pope and I think it’s that he is a marxist to the core.
I will not abandon my faith but I won’t follow someone down a path to destruction either.
There are conservative Bishops who are freaking out. But they’re getting replaced.
Bad times.
....Also there are conservative bishops that are hanging on until this Pope steps down which I predict will happen when he hits 80.
He’s not perfect. Far from it. Pope Leo XIII warned us a century ago that Satan intended on destroying the Vatican from the inside out.
I’m Roman Catholic, and the word is out about this Pope. He was ‘pushed’ by certain inside groups at the Vatican because he is lazy intellectually, Jesuit, and hasn’t met a tyrant he couldn’t abide.
Protestants need to watch out for their own clergy. A Baptist preacher who headed the Republican Party in my old hometown is now in prison for molesting three of his teenage female congregants. Satan is our common enemy, Dallas.
Huh? Obey? I’m Catholic, and that’s a new one to me!
This Catholic will continue to call him “ Francis the talking mule “.
There are conservative Bishops who are freaking out.
They need to be freaking out. This guy is from bizarro land.
20 per cent of the standard offering at our parishes goes to the Bishop and that's on top of all the special offerings. I've stopped putting any money in the baskets at Mass. I'm sick of advancing leftist causes with a Christian veneer.
He Frances, if you want to help clean up the world, declare what the Muslims would call a JIHAD against All Islam.......the name we use is CRUSADE!
Try to do something positive
>> Satan is our common enemy
Yes, and AMEN.
>> Would hate to have to obey a perfect being.
I love trying to obey a perfect being!
There’s only one such.
Hint: His name is NOT!!! “Francis”. :-)
Should start with Vatican City. Then work on algores carbon footprint.
A false pope is central to several prophecies. Apparently we have a “winnah”...
