I disagree with the Pope about a matter (Is the Earth warming?) on which the Catholic Church teaches NOTHING.

Oh?

Then try to convince the NON-catholic world that this encyclical; that has just been published; with the FULL approval of the Catholic Church of Rome; that is teaching NOTHING.

Lots of non Catholics are convinced the Pope is the Church and that he speaks infallibly on everything from toe nail clippers to air conditioners. He is not and he does not. There are a lot of crazy people in the world and evidently our Pope us teetering on that line. Catholics are not bound by idiotic pantheistic encyclicals any more than you are.

This has absolutely nothing to do with whether people are Protestant or Catholic. Intelligent Protestants and Catholics will not be deceived. Stupid Protestants and Catholics will be deceived.

That’s why this is a BAD POPE. It is an abuse of the authority of the Papacy to publish one’s PERSONAL OPINIONS with all the trappings normally associated with the teaching of the Church.

If people (Protestant or Catholic) are superficial and obtuse, they will see the trappings (”It’s an encyclical!”) and think it’s Catholic teaching.

If people (Protestant or Catholic) have sufficient intellect to read what the Pope actually SAID, they will know that nothing he said falls under the subject matter of the Catholic Faith.

In short: The Pope will be able to deceive stupid Protestants and Catholics. The Pope will not deceive intelligent Protestants or Catholics.
