Usually when a thoughtful person finds something baffling, they investigate and go to the source, in the this case, the pope's encyclical, before reaching a critical conclusion.
But of course the caveat here is "thoughtful." : )
I can read English and the Pope’s words speak for themselves. If you have something to add to the storyline and not just offering petty pot shots to validate your existence, post it.
Otherwise, the idea that a Romney supporter would know anything about what is “thoughtful”, is laughable.
