The rabbits comment is a clear indication that he buys into the climate change stuff. Too many humans are DESTROYING THE PLANET!

“This Pope sticks his foot in his mouth more often than Joe Biden “
The number 1 thing to remember is that the Pope is a Jesuit. A better understanding of Ignatian Spirituality will lead to a better understanding of who the Pope is.
No.
He looks a little like Abe Vigoda - who, in case you were wondering, is alive.
The extent to which people will delude themselves is amazing.
Questions to ponder, Is a lie (said or unsaid) to yourself a sin when you believe it?
I believe so.
Mr. Peters already touched on it, but it can never be said too many times: 4. Take the time to make sure he actually said what you think he said.
5. He’s not attuned to all the nuances of US conservative political language, shouldn’t be expected to be, and it’s not his job anyway.

Pope Benedict IX (1032–1044, 1045, 1047–1048), who "sold" the Papacy

If you think this Pope is off his rocker, go back to the teachings of a Pope that is more like Peter.
He doesn’t wear the red shoes. That should be a give away.
