First, Pope Francis obviously didn’t write any of the document, and I doubt if he did anything but scan through and barely glance at the document.
Second, if I were one of the guys assigned to this task and I resented the whole gimmick but I was ordered to complete the document....fine, I’d write it and somewhere in the middle of it....I’d plant an Islamic reference. I’d make it blunt and noticeable, but I’d know my bosses were too stupid to ID the quote or realize the implications.
Third, my humble guess is that several foundations have used their ‘gift’ resources and given interior players at the Vatican five-star vacations, golden bracelets, and things of value to buy them off and influence them down to the Pope. Go back over 15 centuries and look at the influence upon the staff around the Pope and how hundreds of people were bought off to ensure the Pope said this or did that.
Fourth, as much as they bought into the climate hoax...they (the entire church) can’t clean up their act and be good stewards of the Earth. When the Pope climbs on some jet....how much carbon is he contributing? How much repentance does he need to show? When his cardinals or bishops get into their Mercedes, how much repentance do they need to show? When these guys get business class tickets, how much repentance do they need to show?
I’ll end this ‘rant’ with this observation. These are the same characters who had no problem in issuing Letters of Indulgence if you paid them off. How you were ever going to carry this letter with you when you died...was a joke. In terms of cleverness, they know precisely how to screw people over and make it all seem innocent and approved by God.
So are there teleprompters in the Vatican?
In the beginning, I really liked the guy and thought a lot of the things he said were due to misquotes.
I no longer think that.
Letters of Indulgence. Maybe that’s where the notion of Carbon Credits began. The advertising ,marketing and exchange of completely intangible things.

Just think... if we lowered out environmental and human standards, we can become a capitalist heaven like China... and we can get all those jobs back into America with our own slave-labour initiatives.
who am I to judge?
The proverbial "they", in this case, happens to be the Vatican Academy of Sciences aka Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which is very much like the US Academy of Sciences.
Which tracks with the views of many that this is all a hoax/conspiracy amongst all the scientists and educated people of the world, who are trying to impose their intellectual views on the wisdom and virtue of the common man.
Same characters? How's that?? All of the characters who sold indulgences have been dead for 500 years.
