Leaders of the Catholic Church in America took their “marching orders” from the Pope’s encyclical on Thursday, fanning out to Congress and the White House to push for action on climate change.

The high-level meetings offered a first glimpse of a vast and highly organised effort by the leadership of America’s nearly 80 million Catholics to turn the Pope’s moral call for action into reality.

“It is our marching orders for advocacy,” Joseph Kurtz, the president of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Archbishop of Louisville, said. “It really brings about a new urgency for us.”

A religious leader issuing ordinances of science ....

One would think that the Galileo fiasco would have CURED them from this sort of thing!

this pope does not understand the the logical extension of the climate change hysteria that declares CO2 a pollutant is... population control!

Where is the chart that shows the DECREASE in oxygen in the atmosphere?

Have they even read the encyclical? I doubt it. Environment is only a small part of it.

I now identify as POOR!

You FR Catholics had better open your wallets and gimme some or it will be PROOF that you do NOT have Genuine Faith®!

God. I knew someone would drag up Galileo. Of course, the one exception that proves the rule is used to bludgeon Catholics.

Then mention Luther!

That ought to gain you some points!

Meanwhile, most Protestants seem to believe the world is only 40,000 years old.

More claims without facts?

What IS it with Catholics?

They are very conservative out here .white Catholics voted by a huge margin for Romney last time.

What?

They care more about their country than the final destination of eternal souls?

Ha! I guess you were too young to listen to Father Coughlin who is now vilified as a monster.

You mean the Father Coughlin who said "When we get through with the Jews in America, they'll think the treatment they received in Germany was nothing?" That Father Coughlin???

My . . . how did such a nice guy ever get accused of being a "monster?" [/sarcasm]

Circular logic seems to be the favorite of Catholics on FR.

He has been duped by those much craftier than he.

And judged by those less crafty.

...marmelstein failed to address a claim I made...

An indication; perhaps; that you are dolt worthy.
