The popes closest adviser on Tuesday slammed climate-change skeptics, blaming capitalist motivations from movements in the United States for opposing the Catholic Church leaders upcoming environmental letter.
The ideology surrounding environmental issues is too tied to a capitalism that doesnt want to stop ruining the environment because they dont want to give up their profits, said Cardinal Oscar Rodríguez Maradiaga at a news conference in Rome marking the start of Caritas Internationalis, an annual meeting of Catholic charitable groups, according to The Boston Globe.
Pope Francis is expected to issue his encyclical letter on the environment this year, and Rodríguez said many within and outside of the Catholic Church are looking forward to it with hope. The letter also comes ahead of the United Nations meeting on climate change in Paris this December.
I have already heard criticism of the encyclical, the Honduran cardinal said, calling it absurd for skeptics to reject a document that has not even yet been published. The letter is expected to be released in early summer, according to reports.

Is he Catholic or a marxist?
Enough with the Marxist Pope already.
Come get me. I’ll be right here.
Good!
We’ll blame Communism and Liberation Theology for his unmerited support of man-made global warming....WHICH, they weren’t the least embarrassed about changing the name to “Climate Change” when it became clear to all that the facts failed to support the narrative.
Ugh.
Will someone PLEASE take all communications and travel equipment away from the Pope and his entourage, and envelop the Vatican in a giant Maxwell-Smart-level “cone of silence” until they resign?
I’ll take “Marxist” for $500, Alex.
This coming from the Papacy loved by the Castros.
CORPSEMAN! I’ve been hit with heretic shrapnel. Yes, I’m a denier.
Agenda 21-er.
Does this rube even recognize that he’s playing right into the hands of the Population Control crowd who use this agenda to support and promote ABORTION AND EUTHENASIA?
Apparently, a belief in climate change is now a tenet of Catholic orthodoxy.

We have seen how environmentally friendly socialism and marxism has been! Who invented the technologies that cleaned up the environment in the US? Capitalists! I see that liberation theology is rearing its ugly heard at the very top. Is this really the most important issue to Christianity nowadays? Worth splitting Christians over? Seriously?

Francis should be smarter than to bathe with algore in the technocrats’ cauldron.
Anything to help keep the Catholics voting democrat.
And some are wondering why people are leaving their faith.
That’s why he’s “Pope Che.”
Pope Francis needs to ‘blast’ some of those South American Catholic dictators...
