That's great, this one doesn't, he's current, and he is the one in league with 0bama and the EPA. Defend him if you must, I think he needs to shut up or confine himself to Catholicism. The rest of humanity has enough meddling lefties with which to contend.
The EPA? Are you serious? Why in the world would a Pope, a sovereign leader, have anything to do with the US EPA? That makes absolutely no logical sense.
He is the leader of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics, and like every other human being, is free to express himself as he wishes. Does he not have the right to free speech?
He duty-bound to speak on issues of faith and morals, as well as the dignity of all of mankind. Show me any other religious leader, or political leader who does that. Hint, there isn’t one.
The Pope doesn’t need to write any new document to indicate the Church’s position on Marxism or socialism. It has already been done. That’s one of the beauty’s of Catholicism, continuity of teaching.
Resist the reflexive urge to believe everything you read, even if it suits your bias. As a Freeper, your intellect should be made of heartier stuff.
