Why is it that both the Vatican and the Obama White House feel they can be so open and candid about their close collaboration? Is the Administration part of the Catholic Church or is the Church a mouthpiece for the Administration... or is Communism just a modern word for the Gospel, like Pope Francis says? Why do we keep hearing the same ugly messages wherever we look?
In a bid to bolster the Obama administration's "moral" case for combating climate change, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency will meet senior Vatican officials Friday to enlist papal support for its policies.
EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said Pope Francis, who has become a vocal climate advocate since his 2013 election, can be an ally for President Barack Obama's Climate Action Plan.
If ever there was a case that needed some papal bolstering its global warming. I wonder how much Jesus the Pope can blow in to that urgent moral crisis. Deliver the Jesus, Pope Francis! Obama knows you can.
"As one of the world's most respected and influential leaders, Pope Francis, and those who advise him, will play a crucial part in advancing climate change [action] domestically and overseas,'' McCarthy, a Roman Catholic, said in an e-mail.
To counter that, McCarthy has done extensive public outreach to win support for EPA proposals, touting their economic and public health benefits. She said the pope could help make her case.
"Focusing our attention on the communities that need it most is at the core of EPA's mission to protect public health and the environment, and there is no voice more credible than the church's to speak to our moral obligation as stewards of our planet,'' McCarthy said.
Wow. There is no voice more credible than the Catholic Church!
Why is the most left-wing American president in history assigning ultimate moral authority to the Roman Catholic Church? Is this a new country? Is there going to be a chapel and confessional next to every 7-Eleven soon? Why do I feel like my Faith has been turned into a hellish PSA?
If having every agency, media outlet, and college in the world in your pocket doesn't help you have credibility why give up? Lord knows there's always more you can do.

So much for SEPARATION between Church and State. The POS in the WH is a serial constitutional law breaker
Yup, the Pope knows science as well as Gore.
I believe Revelation Chapter 17 explains it pretty good.
Don`t be surprise if many of the main protestant churches follow suit.
I bet he’ll go along enthusiastically without making a peep about abortion.
Catholic Church should watch out because for doing it in Europe, it was banned.
We have gone from a Pope who helped break down the walls of tyranny, to a Pope who is helping to build up the walls of tyranny.
My ancestors relied on religious figures in their “climate change” battles.
The shaman would lead the rain dance...
Obama can tell a willing Pope to hug trees and tell his Catholic subjects to stop breeding like rabbits; but the Pope won’t dare tell Obama to stop murdering babies here and abroad.
It’s a win-win situation for Satan and his two dupes.
Because it has.
The biggest Hoax on mankind ,Religion meet the Second biggest Hoax on mankind ,Global Warming
Where is the Left’s insistence on the separation of church and state? When the church carries water for the state, everything is A-OK
The Pope and Bammy are both Commies.
Noah probably would have punched him the nose, just like Francis would if somebody insulted his muslim "brother from another mother".
Once again, the communist Obama regime violates the U.S. Constitution. Nice of the Pope to agree to be one of their useful idiots.

“...they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen “—Paul the Apostle
Leftists are clamoring for input to the eagerly awaited papal encyclical on the environment. According to Pope Francis: "This is our sin, exploiting the Earth." Since the environment is the topic of his first encyclical, it's reasonable to conclude that he considers environmentalism a matter of the greatest moral urgency.
Is Francis more afraid of Mother Nature than of God? According to him, "God always forgives, but the earth does not...Take care of the earth so it does not respond with destruction."
After Francis concocted and blessed the pact in hell among Comrades Obama and the Castro brothers his credibility descended as low as Obama's.
Church to pope, less politics more Jesus.
