Pope Francis made clear his main reason for his historic visit: to support the cause of human life.
Speaking to the nation’s Catholic bishops in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, the pontiff said: “I appreciate the unfailing commitment of the Church in America to the cause of life and that of the family, which is the primary reason for my present visit.”
The Pope listed: “the innocent victim of abortion, children who die of hunger or from bombings, immigrants who drown in the search for a better tomorrow, the elderly or the sick who are considered a burden, the victims of terrorism, wars, violence and drug trafficking, the environment devastated by man’s predatory relationship with nature – at stake in all of this is the gift of God, of which we are noble stewards but not masters.”
“It is wrong, then, to look the other way or to remain silent,” he said.
“Ever present within each of them is life as gift and responsibility. The future freedom and dignity of our societies depends on how we face these challenges,” he exhorted.

He’ll change his tune.
He is WAY more influenced by Socialism that he is by God and the Bible.
Remember. Leftists are Leftists first. Everything else comes in a distant second.
Pope Che’s ultimate goal is the creation of a global totalitarian police state.
By his works we shall know him.
Ruh-roh.......’the elderly and the sick who are considered a burden’? Didn’t the architect of Obamacare say that people ought to stop using health care services when they turn 75 as they are no longer useful/contributing members of society?
God intended man to use the earth’s resources and He is the original designer of “climate change.”
Pope Che is quite literally preaching to the choir. He didn’t mention abortion to Congress. He is a wuss.
If the “no longer useful/contributing members of society” standard was used on liberals, we would terminate health care on them at about age 18.
“... immigrants who drown in the search for a better tomorrow ...”
Is that a reference to the Syrian boy whose smuggler dad let him (and the boy’s mother, and others) drown and wash up on a Turkish beach?
I thought his speech to the Bishops overly rhetorical, with little real substance.
When is he really going to hit abortion and same sex unions?
He’s running out of time.
Did he speak of the Christian genocide in the Mid East and ask the US to help end it?
I’m asking because I don’t have the patience to listen or read his comments.
I am betting not because speaking for Christians seems low on his list of priorities.
But his dress is nice and clean (wasting precious resources to make it so—why not wear a simple grey robe?).
Did he mention God or Jesus ? Nope !
Bolshevik Bogdoglio - or whatever his last name.
He didn’t specify how the Church defines “family”; two homosexual deviants raising a Red Chinese girl they bought overseas will take his comments as an endorsement of their “family”...
God intended man to use the earth’s resources
For millions of years before man’s appearance on earth, massive quantities of resources were being consumed by animals...and early hominids provided dinner for many large mammals of the period...
Pope Che is quite literally preaching to the choir. He didn’t mention abortion to Congress. He is a wuss.
He said something about “the sanctity of life”. Not good enough.
Dis Pope is da poops.
If he REALLY wanted to make an impact the pontiff needed to announce the immediate excommunication of Biden, Pelosi, Cuomo, Kennedy, Sotomayer etc BY NAME.
“God intended man to use the earth’s resources and He is the original designer of “climate change.””
A M E N !!
Certainly. But to most “Climate Change” is being utilized as means to a political emd.
Pope not wear a white ‘robe’ - -
Yeah, leave white for brides - - -
Vatican tailors should get creative and ditch the ‘robe.’ Or tone it down somehow.
