Jumping into the issues of the day, Pope Francis opened his visit to the United States with a strong call Wednesday for action to combat climate change, calling it a problem that “can no longer be left to a future generation.” President Barack Obama, in turn, hailed the pontiff as a moral force who is “shaking us out of our complacency” with reminders to care for the poor and the planet.
The White House mustered all the pageantry it had to offer as the pope arrived at the White House before an adoring crowd of thousands and a nation that seemingly cannot get enough of the humble pontiff who is rejuvenating American Catholicism while giving heartburn to some of its conservatives.
Speaking in a soft voice and halting English, Francis delivered a strong message against those who doubt the science of climate change, saying that the warming planet “demands on our part a serious and responsible recognition” of conditions awaiting today’s children.
It was a message sure to delight the Obama White House, and liberals in general. But the pope’s message had something for conservatives, too, with a pointed call to protect religious liberties — “one of America’s most precious possessions.”
So the Pope casts his vote for world-wide privation and death. How many millions will die because of his action and his partnership with the Marxist Obama?
Pope might us well come out in support of Planned Parenthood while he is at it..our first evil Pope!
Well in my lifetime anyway
I have faith in God. I don’t have to see him to believe him.
I don’t have faith in global warming. Climate is not equal to God. Prove it to be a real issue, or please stop talking about it.
“E pur si muove”
Shabby, dirty Devil Pope.
No class, foolish lefty.
TOTAL BUM.
If you ask me this fool of a “Pope” is bought and paid for. What a tool!!
Someone help me out here, just what does climate change have to do with religion?
Is it this guys job help out government propaganda machines?
Or is it his job to protect his Catholic followers from the evils of such propaganda?
Or is this guy just a useful idiot, I mean literally, a mindless nut job blindly following the masses over a cliff?
I’m not Catholic, but I used to respect the Pope. That flew out the window with this jerk.
This clown has more faith in junk science than he has faith in God.
He is the Vicar of political correctness.
If he wants to know about more immediate “concerns awaiting today’s children,” he should look in his own back yard: Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, Germany, the Greek island of Lesbos, etc.
I guess Pope’s no longer have to justify what they say with The Holy Bible? I missed where Jesus got all on his high horse about this crap. I’m getting tired of praying for this Pope. It’s getting hard to believe that he is acting in good faith.
The parallel in meme is interesting.
Climate change can’t Wait!
World Can’t Wait!
Times change?
No, methods to effect ‘change’ change.
Jesuits of note.. Include MoonBeam. Mugabe.. Cough.
As a minister, I agree that we are stewards of the earth that God created for us. From the naming of animals to the giving of plants for food to the rules for the land to have Sabbaths, the idea of stewardship of the earth is a sound teaching.
All of us also believe that we shouldn't wantonly pollute our yard, our community, our county, our state, etc.
But climate change isn't about that. The global warmist concept of climate change is a political red herring designed to promote government control of resources and peoples.
I have Sobel’s “Letters to Father”. I found the whole situation loving and charming.
Yes. Appears God is really testing our faith with this one. Will have to read the book of Job tonight.
The cancer of liberalism seems to be infecting everything today doesn’t it. The Republican party, Europe, the Vatican. A Holocaust going on against Christians in the middle east, no thanks to the fool in the White house, and this Pope wants Al Gore to make more money.
This pope is being led by Satan. THERE IS NO MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING! It has been proven (by the smoking gun East Anglia University emails) to be a complete lie, perpetuated by leftist partisans.
