The Pope is a Socialist and is coming after our money.
We do more now to protect the environment that generations before us.
“The Pope is a Socialist and is coming after our money.”
In other words... is the pope catholic? Yep.
That is a broad and inaccurate accusation. What is your proof of such an accusation?
That may very well be true. And if it is true --- if that is our ethic --- then we should be glad to have the Pope's support, or anyone's support for that matter.
There is a distinction to be made between the moral requirement: responsible stewardship of this planet, for which God has made us responsible; and the competing scientific, political, and practical decisions which are matters of "prudential judgment". These are not the sphere of the clergy but of the laity, in their various personal, professional and civic capacities.
