>>Catholics owe the Pope and bishops “religious submission” of intellect WHEN THE SUBJECT MATTER IS THE CATHOLIC FAITH. Re-read the two canons you cut-and-pasted, and notice that according to both of them, the Pope and bishops have the authority to teach THE FAITH.<<

WHO needs to read it again?

Canon 752: “While the assent of faith is not required, a religious submission of intellect and will is to be given to any doctrine which either the Supreme Pontiff or the College of Bishops, exercising their authentic Magisterium, declare upon a matter of faith or morals, even though they do not intend to proclaim that doctrine by definitive act. Christ's faithful are therefore to ensure that they avoid whatever does not accord with that doctrine.”

"Pope Francis says most climate change is due to human activity and calls it one of the most important moral issues facing society, according to the 191-page draft in Italian posted online Monday by L'Espresso magazine,"

The most insidious thing about mental illness is that those who have it do not recognize it.

Moral truths are part of the Faith.

Merely declaring that one is teaching a moral truth doesn’t make it true.

Since the Earth is not warming, any claim that the warming of the Earth imposes moral obligations is bogus.

I am responding only for the benefit of third parties who are possibly not mentally ill and intellectually dishonest.
