ROME — The United States bishops have distanced themselves from an embarrassing letter by Pope Francis on the “climate crisis,” preferring to invest their apostolic witness in real issues of concern.
The far-left National Catholic Reporter (NCR) indulged in much ritual handwringing at the bishops’ unenthusiastic non-response to the papal letter titled Laudate Deum, a follow-up to the pontiff’s 2015 encyclical letter Laudato Sí.
In its latest issue, the NCR editorial team called the U.S. Bishops’ Conference (USCCB) official acknowledgement of the letter “underwhelming,” noting that the response “did not even warrant the attention of an actual bishop.”
“Furthermore, its brevity and vagueness read more like an ‘out of office’ kickback email than the ‘welcome’ its title claimed it to be for the pope’s new exhortation on the environment,” NCR stated.
As critics have noted, the pope’s letter wades into territory that Francis knows nothing about in an attempt to muster a pseudoscientific analysis of the “climate emergency” and to propose a concerted response to the question. Even the most ardent papist understands that the pope’s authority does not extend to meteorology.

From the guy who believes he and his church can absolve sin and change the 4th commandment, from the guy who believes he and the church act as the vicar of Christ on earth........here is the last line of his just released letter.....Hollywood couldn’t make this up:
73. “Praise God” is the title of this letter. For when human beings claim to take God’s place, they become their own worst enemies.
Yeah.....right. Lecture me on claiming to take God’s place. This pope is one bad seed.
The Pope is his own worst enemy.
The US Bishops think the same thing.
