Place your bets! Its time to spin the “What will Pope Francis say today?” wheel. The other day, we got the Francis who made a powerful statement about defending Christians in the Middle East. Today we get PC environmental nonsense. Its always a crapshoot.

Nonsense. He's always just "misinterpreted." /sarc

Depends on what he says, and with what level of authority.

If ,for instance, he says "Destroying people's air, water, and soil resources is wrong" --- he's right. You can't be destroying other peoples' --- or future generations' ---necessities of life. God made this world for everyone, including our children. Creation-care, tending the garden, is one of the first mandates from God in Genesis.

BUT...

If he says "We have to all reduce our CO2 and stop global warming" (or any other specific policy recommendation supposedly based on the physical sciences) he's simply speaking outside of his competence.
