Environmental Papal Advisors

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy met with Vatican officials that helped draft Pope Francis’ climate-related encyclical on Friday, The Associated Press reports.
An encyclical, a letter from the pope addressed to faithfuls worldwide when he feels he needs to reach them, is set to be published in June and might make environmentalism a Catholic doctrine like Pope Pius IX’s encyclical about infallibility. It might also be a simple condemnation of human destruction of the environment like Pope Pius XI’s encyclical against Italian Fascists.
The visit was aimed at showing the Holy See that the Obama administration share similar thoughts on climate change.
“I think the most important thing that we can do, working with the pope, is to try to remind ourselves that this is really about protecting natural resources that human beings rely on,” McCarthy said.
“It’s certainly not my place to dictate to the pope what he should be doing in an encyclical,” she continued.
**A small cadre of insular Cardinals who happen to be your fellow Catholics.**
WOW! I just looked it up and you are right on that!
...might make environmentalism a Catholic doctrine like Pope Pius IX’s encyclical about infallibility.

Had to double check to make sure this was not the “Onion”. Sure are some really stupid writers out there these days.
This, too, shall pass, but the Church will prevail.
EPA.
If the GOP-e wants to convince me they give a popcorn fart, then will vote in the next year to shut it down.
Would you make so specious a comparison when speaking of the Republican voter base and the GOPe? Cardinals are more politicians than priests.
I think it is illegal.
I have no doubt of that, but who then are the spiritual leaders in your church, if not the bishops, cardinals, and popes?

Which one is Satan and which one his minion?
Ha!
That was my surmise...
Just like Americans chose Obama, eh?
John Paul II told us to treat Mother Earth kindly too....
Francis is an environmentalist...he made that very clear when he spoke previously saying that his role was to be “Protector” of creation..environment and nature”. March 19,2013
He further stated when meeting with Government Officials..March 2013....”In the work WITH governments the role of religion is fundamental”.....sounds Romanish to me....but is exactly what the code of cannon law states....(#1405)
He is going to use the catholic church’s influence as a civic entity.....
Please post a link to these encyclicals. I have seen a lot of his personal ad lib opinions. Missed the encyclicals.
America doesn’t claim to represent God on earth.
“The head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency met Friday with Vatican officials who helped draft Pope Francis’ upcoming encyclical on ecology, evidence that the Obama administration is seeking to hitch its climate-change message onto that of the popular pope.
EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy told reporters that her aim in visiting was to show the Vatican how aligned President Barack Obama and Francis are on climate change. She said she wanted to stress that global warming isn't just an environmental issue, but a public health threat, and yet also a chance for economic opportunity.”
This is the encyclical I was referring to. Why is Francis allowing the Obama Administration to influence the Vatican and to hitch the Obama Admininistration’s fraudulent climate change message to the Pope and therefore the Catholic Church?
I can only assume stupidity and/or a lack true spiritual values.
