Pope Francis embodies sanctity but comes trailing clouds of sanctimony. With a convert’s indiscriminate zeal, he embraces ideas impeccably fashionable, demonstrably false and deeply reactionary. They would devastate the poor on whose behalf he purports to speak — if his policy prescriptions were not as implausible as his social diagnoses are shrill.
Supporters of Francis have bought newspaper and broadcast advertisements to disseminate some of his woolly sentiments that have the intellectual tone of fortune cookies. One example: “People occasionally forgive, but nature never does.” The Vatican’s majesty does not disguise the vacuity of this. Is Francis intimating that environmental damage is irreversible? He neglects what technology has accomplished regarding London’s air (see Page 1 of Dickens’ “Bleak House”) and other matters.

genius!
I’m not Catholic. I can’t comment.
I’m Roman Catholic and Francis isn’t my Pope, he’s a Heretic....as he’s proves everytime he opens his mouth.
My Pope is Benedict XVI.
‘Um Francis is soon to be in your midst, so you all had better douse yourselves with Holy Water and hang up the strings of garlic all over the place.
That is to be determined - no one knows!
George will, the greatest adultering catholic ever, knows what a good catholic pope should be like, and divorce and remarriage should be allowed!
Invincibly ignorant hiding behind conservatism like so many catholic bloggers. No eyes to see.
Actually, Will adequately skewered the Pope’s content-free blathering and Al-Gore-like romanticizing of primitive life while soaking in the best modern technology has to offer.
More than vacuity... it’s just WRONG.
To push the globe itself over a tipping point that it wasn’t already set to go, would take more pollution than humans themselves would tolerate.
He seems to esteem Gaia above God.
I hear you. If I ever find myself attacking the Pope on a political forum, I'll know that the time has come to find another hobby.
Yes, Will has ruined himself with us. He’s like that muzzie kid’s clock: wrong twice a day.
George Will is divorced and remarried. According to his Wikipedia biography, he calls himself an atheist. It doesn’t say if he was formerly a Catholic or other Christian.
“Pope Francis embodies sanctity but comes trailing clouds of sanctimony. ,
I love it! Best description I’ve heard yet!
America twice elected a domestic enemy as POTUS. The princes of the RC Church elected a theological know-nothing as Pope. Both are kindred Communists and are destroying their respective fiefdoms from the inside.
From the deep recesses of my all-too-fallible memory, I believe he was/is Epicopalian.
I believe you’re right. Will has never been Catholic.
Francis’ days are numbered like zero’s. The world is waking up to these charlatans.
Is the Pope Catholic?
No. the Pope is anti-Catholic.
