[satire] Pope Says He Will Address Sex Abuse Scandal Once He’s Finished Talking About Climate Change

VATICAN CITY—In his first public statement on the horrifying, devastating report on sexual abuse within the Catholic Church, Pope Francis stated he would address the controversy in detail once he’s done talking about climate change for a few more weeks.

The head of the Roman Catholic Church claimed he is deeply concerned with the tragic report, but is “just too swamped” with work fighting climate change, criticizing capitalism, and advocating for other issues of social justice to talk about the repulsive report at the moment.

“Rest assured, once I have exhausted my talking points on the need for government policies to crack down on their carbon footprints, we’ll start looking this report over,” he said. “Then I’ll be sure to make a statement on it. We just didn’t want to jump to conclusions too early, something that we’re not concerned about with man-made climate change. Just with this.”

What is sad about this being satire, is it does not appear to be satire.

I know Babylon Bee is satire, but with this pope, there’s every chance it’s closer to the truth than people would wish.

“Death Penalty Still Permissible For People Who Drive Slowly In The Left Lane, Pope Francis Clarifies”

That's one I can get on board with.

It was maybe written as a satire, but unfortunately it is also true.

The best satire always encompasses the truth.
