VATICAN CITY Pope Francis appeared on Wednesday to back Native Americans seeking to halt part of the Dakota Access Pipeline, saying indigenous cultures have a right to defend "their ancestral relationship to the earth".
The Latin American pope, who has often strongly defended indigenous rights since his election in 2013, made his comments on protection of native lands to representative of tribes attending the Indigenous Peoples Forum in Rome.
While he did not name the pipeline, he used strong and clear language applicable to the conflict, saying development had to be reconciled with "the protection of the particular characteristics of indigenous peoples and their territories"...

THIS MIGHT GET ME OFF THE CATHOLIC PING LIST BUT THE POPE CAN GO #### HIMSELF.
God gave us free will not to be blind to FALSE prophets and teachers.
This guy’s as false as a 3 dollar bill.
Francis the talking poop does NOT have the right to say anything about this, if he wants to address the Catholics in America that is one thing, but he can’t control his Cardinals, Bishops or Priests so now he’s poking his nose in something that is NONE of his business...
Get OUT of America’s business, and get OUT of our Church!!!
False Prophet!!!
Why does Pope Francis make me think more and more about Paul Simon’s lyrice:
“and the radical priest come to get me released, and we’re all on the cover of Newsweek”
When the price per barrel of oil transported across the Indian Reservation
gets right then they will welcome the pipeline with peace pipes.
Why this, why not talk radical Islam and the great Vatican wall?
This Pope still sucks.
“Seein’ me and Bergoglio down by the schoolyard!”
At this point, Pope Francis is doing faithful Catholics who sense the truth about him — i.e., that he is a fraud — a favor by acting like such a jackass. This decree, coupled with his bizarre Super Bowl video, expose Pope Francis as the vacuous narcissist he is to even his most naïve fans.
Where are the secularists who demand the church keeps its nose out of secualr affairs?
Oh, wait...
And abortion!
Does Pope Moronis know the pipeline does not cross Indian land?
This guy really needs to STFU! Get your own house in order!! How’s that POS Cardinal Bernard Law doing over there in the Vatican? Have you had him over for tea lately? You phoney!!!!
Little Frankie gonna get his popester hat dirty if he goes up there and tries to protest.
Because.....he has nothing better to do??
Stick to Catholic doctrine, Pope. oh wait.....
“Francis the talking poop”

I couldn’t agree more.
RELAX! These are 100 percent Reuters lies. Pope never mentioned the pipeline.
Frank the Hippie Pope
