This pope is a piker. He does not even have the backbone to address faith and morals as members of his Church used to expect. Instead he is a political pope under the influence of political correctness and the New Dork Times.
They need to free Kaczynski. The Pope, apparently, is the Unabomber.
This will be great for rural areas as Catholics follow the Pope’s wisdom and abandon cities en mass for a new life in the country - and flood the Farmers Only dating site looking for mates.
They’ll also have more time for all the chores when they abandon social media!
I don't believe that he's been misinformed. The info that 'global warming' is bunk is pervasive. I think he's just grabbed climate change as a convenient cudgel with which to attack the west and capitalism in general.
This is a demonstrably false statement.
Radical changes did take place and the environment is much cleaner today than it was in the 1970s.
In some areas, the emissions out of a modern cars tailpipe than the air going in the intake.
In the 1970s, smog was so bad in LA you could not see the mountains and your eyes burned if you were not adapted.
These days the air is clean and visibility is unlimited.
Same with Europe and Japan.
China, on the other hand, is a disaster.
Who is responsible for the massive clean up?
The same industrial and business groups the Pope is demonizing and trying to undermine.
Not only is the Pope wrong in his analysis, his hatred of capitalism and business is clouding his judgment on how to properly prevent new pollution and how to clean up existing solution in the environment.
Only a prosperous and technologically advanced society has both the tools and the surplus wealth to provide for an environmentally clean society.
We need to revoke Catholic Church’s tax exempt status in the United States.
The pope has no business involving himself in partisan politics.
He’s one of the worst encyclical salesman ever employed by the Vatican.
The Pope should have run for a political office ‘in the world’... He could have hung with Al Gore... and Clinton - gone to orgy island with the boys...
He should get out of Rome more often.
It’s all about the gold. Have you e dr gone inside a Catholic Church? They have gold everything and everywhere. The little dry bread disks are kept in a gold dish in a gold vault and the wine is kept in a gold vault and drank from a gold chalice. The priest’s have gold threads woven into silk robes and the wear a gold hat. Every gold thing was bought with money that is given to the “poor”. I sat my entire formative years watching my parents tossing dollar bills into a basket that was attached to a long handle and stuck out in front of them three times in an hour. One time around was never enough for the basket. Then I had to wear clothes that were handed down from my older brother who was fat. I think God was telling me something even inside of his own supposed house.
This pope wants everyone to be poor. We should be guilty of greed and avarice if we can enjoy life. We should never have sex unless we are trying to produce more catholic children. Give whatever we have to the “poor”.
