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.”
I am so glad I am not watching any of this!
At least you won’t suffer what the Church did to Galileo and his heliocentric views.
He’s not smart enough.
False Prophet?
One site says he speaks fluent English and German. Yeah Right!!
Go back to the Vatican, pull out a book on Galileo and shut your face, o.k.?
How much $$$ is POTUS giving the Vatican for this nonsense?
Hey Pope, please drink the wine, not Al Gore’s Kool-aid.
And all that man of GOD can do is come here and talk about the climate which is entirely GOD's Sovereign Business? And who's religion is free in this nation? Only islam as it stands today. IT is the most accommodated religion in the world by sheer fear of retribution. GOD told Israel & will do for all
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
We don't have a climate problem we have a sin problem.
Hello...how much pollution did your plane produce, the vehicles used, the trash that will be left over by the masses going to see him?????????????
Honestly, Zulu, of all the issue that are troubling this nation, ‘climate change’ isn’t even in the top 50.
Killing babies
Selling baby parts
Celebrating homosexuality
Marketing it to the world
Promoting homosexualist marredrage
I’ve recently read that if the US stopped all production of everything, that it wouldn’t have ANY perceptible impact on global temperature at all.
Bingo! Next hell be warming up to a very charming man with a Messiah complex. Oops, too late!
If you read Columbia magazine. The magazine of the Knights of Columbus. You would not know Francis was Pope. Let alone was in the US. Note the 4th Degree Honor Guard was not in thw welcoming committee.
In November 2009, an anonymous whistleblower put just over 1000 emails comprising email traffic to and from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) on an obscure Russian website. They were subsequently rapidly disseminated around the world.
These emails show a tightly knit cabal of scientists adjusting temperature data to conform to their political agenda; exerting pressure to censor publications going into the “peer reviewed” literature (usually with complete success); bullying journalists with threats of excommunication so that what was published in the mainstream media was in accordance with the global warming agenda; and using the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as the primary vehicle for their political ambitions.
To work through these emails, in order to discover what was going on, is a major undertaking. John Costella has provided us with an edited and annotated account of the emails which enables the lay person, in a relatively short time, to understand what was going on and how it was done.
This PDF version of the published book will provide access to everyone who is concerned with this great debate. It is available here.

The entire climate change joke is to hide the worldwide islamization.
Forget saving souls-— Il Duce Papa worships Mother Earth.
Hey old papa-— Mama don’t need no help and she only answers to God. My local parish priest would make a far better Pope— he teaches more about God than ILL Papa comrade.
Dear Francis
You are to address spiritual things.
STAY OUT OF ANYTHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who will tell this man that he is causing much damage.
Mark Steyn’s new book:
“A disgrace to the profession”, the word’s scientists in their own words on Michael E. Mann, his hockey stick, and their damage to science.
I’m hearing great things about is as the definitive rebuttal of the global warmists.
Is this the same pope who’s plane flew around in circles until Zero and JoeyB could get to the tarmac to welcome him?
Of course this visit isn’t politically tinged... nahhhhh.... This visit has no element of electoral timing to it... nahhhhhh... no way.
