Is he or isn't he supporting the leftist climate agenda that will damn billions to poverty?

I have not read his eco-encyclical yet, this is not a question I can answer with any actual facts.

Did he, or did he not recognize the inheritors of the Nazi's desire to slaughter the Jews?

I am uncertain what is meant by recognizing someone; however, Pope Francis said that he hoped that Abbas would be an Angel of Peace, not that he is an Angel of Peace.

Someone in the comments on the article mentions he never remembered Benedict being misunderstood. The reason is that liberals could not mishear him to support their political preferences but they can mishear Pope Francis. When liberals try to quote Pope Francis to support their own positions, conservatives appear to react by assuming that the liberals are accurately quoting Pope Francis.

I do not lose faith that the Bible is the word of God because it is misquoted and distorted by liberals and protestants, so why should I lose faith that the Pope is an orthodox Catholic because he is misquoted by liberals and a decent percentage of conservatives?

I can understand the feelings behind the "shoot the messenger"
way of coping with bad news. I've done it myself. I imagine
even over 500 years ago, during the Borgia reign, many
a messenger were shot. But it didn't change the reality.
