The vocal pivot from such traditional social issues marks the first time U.S. Catholic bishops have publicly asked those seeking the White House to heed the admonitions of Francis' June encyclical, said Bishop Richard Pates of Des Moines. In Francis' major teaching document, the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics called for a "sweeping revolution" to correct a "structurally perverse" economic system that allows the rich to exploit the poor and has turned the Earth into an "immense pile of filth."

Sal, what say you?
GOP...tell them to get stuffed and mind their own damned business!
Are they asking Democrats to heed the words of the pope regarding abortion? Since 44 million babies have been put to death since 1973, this seems to be a more grave and obvious problem.
Yes, I know that the bishops do great pro-life work, but when have they ever publicly confronted Democrap politicians?
In Francis' major teaching document, the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics called for a "sweeping revolution" to correct a "structurally perverse" economic system that allows the rich to exploit the poor and has turned the Earth into an "immense pile of filth."Really? And where is this "immense pile of filth"?
The pope is anti-science and a lefty. Don’t follow him anywhere.
Not his scientific pronouncements.
uhhh...they gay mafia is about to open a full frontal assault on your church...and you worry about this garbage?????
Catholics need to impeach their Pope.
Where were they when homosexual priests were raping young boys?
Screw 'em
Iowa airwaves are being flooded with ‘Pope or Kochs’ ads from Citizens United.
OPEN LETTER To the Academicians of The Pontifical Academy of Sciences
You know, because a denomination which has just about lockstep voted for the Democrats since the Kennedy presidency will switch to voting Republican if they drink the socialist kool-aid.
Or something.
But too many of you are too busy excusing pro-abortion socialist politicians who are allowed to wear the Catholic fig leaf, that you can't see you are hamstringing your own church, much less Christianity in general.
You call yourself leaders, but if global warming was really real, don't you think it would do a lot more good to find wholly or nearly uninhabited areas to divert rising sea levels (there are a lot of them), raise seawalls and other protections near inhabited coastal areas and do something other than silly carbon trading schemes and giving more money and power to self-appointed experts and tyrants?
Your blatant hypocrisy is also on display when you address only the weakest and most impotent of America's two major political parties.
Stupid follows stupid
Obama has set back race relations 50 years and Pope Francis has set the Catholic Church back to the Middle Ages when the world was flat according to the Popes. Francis is a socialist to the core and is either stupid or duplicitous the same as Obama

F the commie pope.
The Catholic bishops should have worked this hard on abortion. It is difficult for me as a Catholic to have much respect for them.
