I don’t understand why non catholics go on threads regarding the Pope...I don’t follow the beliefs of Mormons, Baptists, Judaism, Hindu...so, I could not care less about what their leaders have to say... it’s none of my business, or concern and a waste of time..
Because the pope is the nominal religious leader of one billion people, a huge portion of the earth’s population. What he says affects them, so it affects everybody.
You don’t have to obey what he says but you can make your voice heard about whether it’s good for the planet.
