Mr. Francis. Shouldn't be focusing on bringing more people to Christ than worrying about whether people are recycling cell phones and other electronics????

[livius]

He’s such a fool. He said that all Catholics should be living like the indigenous - by which I assume he meant in wretched poverty and reliant on government benefits and government management of their lives. He’s a condescending, hypocritical statist. Maybe he should reduce his carbon footprint and stay home in the Vatican and reduce the planet’s hot air emissions by keeping his mouth shut.

[edwinland]

He was talking about people not consumer electronics.

If he does successfully bring people to Christ those people will also care for the poor, the sick and the elderly, as Jesus commanded us to do.

Don’t let Francis’ other, wrongheaded statements on economics and global warming turn you against his exhortations to follow Christ’s teachings.

Here’s the whole homily here:

He's quite right. I throw away all my "GOOD" old stuff to the drop box at my local Catholic church.

Then I work some more and throw away more "good stuff".

Our town, like most towns, has regular disposal dates for electronics.

Pope Francis denounced the "throwaway" culture of today's society that discards anyone who is unproductive

Looks like a deliberately misleading headline.

Anything about the devil's soldiers on the loose, slaughtering Christians and other minorities in so many parts of the planet?

I know nothing about organized religion. But to an outsider looking in, this guy doesn't seem to be about Christian doctrine.

The Pope can go f**k himself.
