Pope Francis: Climate Change Action Can’t Wait
CBS Baltimore ^ | 23 Sep 15 | AP

Posted on 09/23/2015 9:47:21 AM PDT by xzins

Jumping into the issues of the day, Pope Francis opened his visit to the United States with a strong call Wednesday for action to combat climate change, calling it a problem that “can no longer be left to a future generation.” President Barack Obama, in turn, hailed the pontiff as a moral force who is “shaking us out of our complacency” with reminders to care for the poor and the planet.

The White House mustered all the pageantry it had to offer as the pope arrived at the White House before an adoring crowd of thousands and a nation that seemingly cannot get enough of the humble pontiff who is rejuvenating American Catholicism while giving heartburn to some of its conservatives.

Speaking in a soft voice and halting English, Francis delivered a strong message against those who doubt the science of climate change, saying that the warming planet “demands on our part a serious and responsible recognition” of conditions awaiting today’s children.

It was a message sure to delight the Obama White House, and liberals in general. But the pope’s message had something for conservatives, too, with a pointed call to protect religious liberties — “one of America’s most precious possessions.”

So news outlets misleading the public saying he is a scientist of sorts when discussing his “authority” on climate change. Are they doing on purpose or just don’t check facts I wonder.

He’s a Pope for crying out loud. What the hell would he know about climate change other than the crap poured into his skull by a bunch of “scientists” looking for endless government grants and trips to Antarctica and the Arctic to play with the penguins and the polar bears. Jerks.

"Seems to me that the thousands of Christians being slaughtered by ISIS and other terrorists in the Middle East, as well as those being persecuted around the world including right here in the USA, deserved at least a mention."

Apparently, Christ's teachings have gotten even more removed from the Catholic church. And now the Church has a PC guy. Hope all the Cardinals who voted for him are happy.

The pope is more evidence of the harmful effects of affirmative action.

Because it’s always to hire someone because of their ethnicity instead of actually looking at their relevant qualifications for the job.

No Abortion.
No Homosexual marriage.
No Mention of Christian persecution.

This man could be an Obama fraternity brother from the University of Madrassah.
We must revise an old question:
Is the Pope Catholic?
Answer: NO

He’s from Latin America where the main church is the Church of What Reasons Can We Think of Today to Blame the U.S. for Why Our Lives Suck?

Marxists have no business in the Vatican or the White House for that matter. These are the people Alexis de Touqueville warned us about.

If this man...and that is all he is...is responsible for contributions from the US decreasing, I predict the College of Cardinals will meet to discuss his removal.
They should bring back Benedict or find some other Catholic, holy man to save the Church from descending into ruble.
Without support from the USA, I daresay, it means disaster.
It is our only hope.

The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Mudville Nine that day.
The score stood 4 to 2; with but one inning left to play.

..and earth isn’t flat. Catholic church on the wrong side of science after 961 years. The pope doesn’t think God can take care of alittle bit of manmade warming?

Nukes won’t cause global warming, tho’ they can certainly warm up localities for a bit. However, nuclear winter (man-made climate change for real!) is a distinct possibility if enough megatons go off...
