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.

It doesn't make sense, but it the EPA administrator was at the Vatican for consult about the environmental encyclical. Seriously, I understand why Catholics who defend this Pope get all up in arms, but do your homework. Search FR.

My intellect is fine, after your a search, lets see about that apology. Once your intellect has become heartier.
