“He attacks capitalism insofar as it appeals to human greed and excessive consumption and calls for the phase-out of fossil fuels.”

He wants to use the stick, not the carrot. The carbon credit folks are just slick operators looking to strike it rich. The Pope would welcome authoritarian seizure of wealth and would block the very economy that is allowing third world poor to pull themselves out of the mud. He is more like Mugabe and the late Chavez than anyone else.

I fear this Pope is a scholar of "liberation theology".

Yep, he wants socialism, nothing more, nothing less and (alleged) global warming is just an excuse to do it.
