Pope Francis on Saturday issued an urgent call to action to defend the planet and help the poor in his second TED talk. […]

“We have just a few years — scientists calculate roughly fewer than 30 — to drastically reduce the emissions of gas and the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere,” the pope said, adding that the transition needs to take into account the impact on the poor, local populations and those who work in the energy sector.

He called on investors to exclude companies that do not taking into account the environment, as have many faith-based organizations already have.

“In fact, the earth must be taken care of, cultivated and protected; we cannot continue to squeeze it like an orange. And we can say this: taking care of the Earth is a human right,” Francis said. …

Funny how the leftist media who have derided the Pope position for years now find him useful.

So, yes. The Pope is a useful idiot.

Before Bergoglio tells the rest of us, both Catholic and non-Catholic, what we should do and how we should behave, he needs to shut his pie hole and clean up the absolutely corrupt mess that exists within the Vatican, a great deal of which he is solely responsible for creating. He has to be, either intentionally or unintentionally, the most inept executive of any major organization, both religious and secular, in the entire World.

The pope is a communist. The pope is a dope.

Focus on the things you’re supposed to know about, Francis.

He knows nothing, but The Left. In his heart, he is as much a Pope as Michael Moore is thin.
