I’m not Catholic, not particularly a big fan of the Pope. I do think it is unfortunate when leaders take this type of approach.

It’s really just code for damn the U.S. We are viewed as the parias of the planet because of our consumption. People don’t understand that we consume more, because we have pretty danged good standard of living.

As long as there are humans, those humans will be using resources. Life’s a real B sometimes.

right. ‘as long as there are humans’. Does the Pope not see the contradiction here?

The green lefties would have us greatly diminished and living like primitive tribes. They don’t seem to want to practice what they preach, either. (i.e., Al Gore) Now we have the Pope, who is supposed to be the leader of the Catholic church first and foremost rather than using his power as the head of the Vatican nation, on a Traveling Salvation Show.

Trouble is, he’s apparently not interested in God’s promise of eternal (spiritual) life through Jesus Christ; he seems to be much more interested in ‘saving the earth’. Doesn’t he read the Bible?
