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.”
And that was over a 100 years, wasn’t it?
“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.”
Yes
Obama is going to use this DUMB “useful idiot” to justify bringing hundreds of thousands of welfare junkies, and Muslim terrorists to America.
Time for another group to splinter form the church?
Gotta respect Communists. Unlike modern conservatives they have a goal and stick to it.
Just like Pelosi is a "devout Catholic"
Modern fish wraps ain't worth spit!
The MSM is orgasmic over this guy.
Pope has lost all credibility- standing at the rainbow WH facing a sea of leftist perverts in the audience and saying nothing about gay agenda or abortion. Disgusting.
As the worlds largest NGO the Catholic Church is well positioned to profit from global warming and global governance.
As charities good, the Catholic Church is true awful.
(Twelve years of Catholic School here, I didn’t leave them, they left me.)
If the Pope gets to make pronouncements on science, then scientist should start making pronouncements on religion.
It is all about money and the coming global economic collapse. The Crony capitalists and crony socialists need one of the largest economic bubbles in history to save their stinky butts. And climate change is that perfume.
This is the least infallible pope EVER.
He’s spreading lies and nonsense about the Globull Warming Scam.
The Climate Change Hoax can wait and will wait.
It should be snuffed in its cradle that resides in the insane asylum. Snatch it away from its mother's arms (Algore) and don't allow its nanny (The pope) to get anywhere near it.
Kill it with fire.
Asphyxiate it with the truth.
Stomp its ashes into the mud.
Vilify every evil bandit that tries to make people believe it.
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil”
~Isaiah 5:20
“They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.”
~Titus 1:16
“Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God?”
~Romans 2:3
“Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.”
~2 Timothy 3:5
““Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”
~Matthew 7:15
“If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.”
~James 1:26
Look into history.
The glory days of the Catholic church were when they were the only functioning institution left in the West.
Once other institutions grew to the point of being able to successfully challenge that, they have been fighting ever since.
I am a Catholic and VERY disappointed with this Pope!!!! Have been VERY disappointed in the church as a whole since the scandal with the priests and the PROTECTION of them by the church!!!! The Catholic church is ALL for social justice, which in my eyes is something that SHOULD be taken care of by ALL churches and organizations of faith!!!! The government should NOT be responsible for the poor and addicted it should ALWAYS be organizations of faith, faith ALWAYS turns lives around!!!! Climate change I mean REALLY just bizare!!!!!!!
Which was apparently fighting alongside his fellow Argentinian commie Che Guevara.
But freedom for the Cuban people can wait.
Et tu, Francis?
I’m waiting for him to take his fellow traveler’s advice and make abortion a sacrament.
It would not surprise me a bit.
I wonder when he'll make membership in VHEMT a sacrament.
Perhaps this extreme enviro-pope would have us sign up to be fans of these luminaries:
“If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels.”
Prince Phillip
“Childbearing should be a punishable crime against society, unless the parents hold a government license. All potential parents should be required to use contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing.”
David Brower, first Executive Director of the Sierra Club
“A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.”
Ted Turner
If he pushes the Climate Change Lie and all the other Socialist/Communist Leftist lies, can this switch in Catholic doctrine be far behind?
Is he talking about the trillions in debt that Obama is giving today's children?
