“This may offend Catholics, but the Pope has no idea what he’s talking about and he seems to be nothing but a left-wing propagandist.”
I’m one and I agree with you 100%.
If he’s not speaking ex-cathedra, his opinion is no better than anyone else’s.
This Pope’s life was in Argentina where his experiences go from Peron to the latest woman imbecile.
He should stick to saving souls, not planets. There is sure no shortage of candidates for that in this world.
Genesis 1:28
“God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it;”
The Pope needs to re-read it.
Not really. But you'd better be a community organizer and have an opinion on every technical and scientific subject even before the science itself knows the answer.
I was raised Catholic and your words are 100% correct.
The day his named was announced as the new pope I flipped out when I learned he was a Jesuit, because I knew he would be spouting Marxist talking points.
I miss Pope Benedict.
Translation: It is all in their heads and made up
He’s from Venezuela. He should have played pro baseball instead.
Lighten up francis.
If this delusional nonsense makes it into the encyclical, Francis will go down as the worst abuser of his office in centuries. A whole encyclical based on an empirically provable hoax. That will be a first.
Frankly, let him do it. The more thoroughly he makes a public fool of himself, the less harm he can do to the Church.
What you said doesn’t offend me. The temperature of the Earth is no part of the teaching of the Catholic Church. The Pope has no authority to pontificate about it.
On top of that, he is provably WRONG. The Earth has been cooling for 18 years and 4 months.
He is promoting a hoax. It appears he will promote policies that are DESIGNED to kill AT LEAST a billion people, starting with the poorest, by denying them energy and food.
This pope is God’s chastisement of Catholics for our sinful behavior.
I know you hate to hear this, but the problem of priests’ abusing minors has been eradicated. Check out the statistics.
I don’t give the bishops any credit. They started to act only when threatened by the press and massive lawsuits.
That’s why they do nothing about Nancy Pelosi, Andrew Cuomo, Joe Biden, John Kerry, etc. Nobody is threatening them with lawsuits over giving Communion to these apostates.
Thank you for sharing your deep research in Jack Chick comics!
Bless you my son, and your CA airguns.
I would change sprinkling to full immersion.
‘Celibate’ really means ‘celebrate’.
All nuns would be hotties ... to start.
How soon before I hear? I could really use the dough.
The Earth is also the center of the universe. And flat.
Catholics are not compelled to believe or follow Pope Francis on this issue.
He is just plain WRONG!
He needs to spend an hour with a “scientist” who is NOT a propagandist.
Oh....and another hour with a similarly gifted economist.
This may offend Catholics, but the Pope has no idea what he’s talking about and he seems to be nothing but a left-wing propagandist.

I ditto that! Just shows that liberal progressive idiocy can exist in the “president” of the Catholics as well as the “president” of the US.
They ignore factual scientific data and base their ignorant views on purposefully flawed data pushed by the UN and so-called scientists. ....There’s been NO global warming for over 18 years!!! Climate change is natural.
You don’t need to be Catholic to be elected Pope.
To take the job, however, you would need to be baptized (or confirmed as a Catholic if already baptized), ordained deacon, then priest, then bishop, because the Pope has to be the Bishop of Rome.
I think sometimes the Cardinals think they’re on the Board of a Fortune 500 instead of Christ’s Church.
Where was he sitting when he said this?
This is a very significant point.
