As a recovering Catholic I have to say I really don’t care what this Pope has to say anymore. He has proven he is so far to the left without a ‘smidgen’ of normal thinking so why should I listen to him?
If God wills it; he will turn this Pope into someone worth listening to. The last few have been great. This one; not so much.
I’m not a man of faith, but I have read my fair share of history so I’m just wondering. How many carbon credits per indulgence?
“..As for the creation of a global stock market trading in carbon credits, known as cap-and-trade, Pope Francis denounces it. ..”
Glad to read this.
Al Gore will be angry though. :)
The Pope doesn’t understand anything. He doesn’t know what economics is ABOUT, let alone understand any of it.
The Pope endorses the exploded lie that the Earth is warming. Thus, this encyclical is one giant hoax. It has nothing in it that Catholics are obliged to believe or to do.
Another remnant of Communist infiltration of the educational establishment. In this case, the seminaries...
This Pope does understand, however, liberation theology and, unfortunately, he is a product of it.
Generally, leftists support "cap and tax", while the right supports "cap and trade".
In the US, cap and trade won out over cap and tax, but Congress failed to implement in 2009-10.
After Congress failed, Obama(who supported cap and trade), moved forward in regulating carbon with the Clean Air Act.
What the hell is this “man of God” doing messing with this stuff? Has Catholicism turned lib like the rest of the world? I always thought the end times stuff was sort of mythological ... Rethinking it.
Argentina was a first world country that was destroyed by socialism. The Pope got a lot of things backwards, for example, his claim that (alleged) environmental degradation from global warming causes poverty. It is poverty caused by authoritarian socialism or kelptocracy that causes poverty.
Yep, he wants socialism, nothing more, nothing less and (alleged) global warming is just an excuse to do it.
Socialist/Communist countries such as China are destroying the environment. When nobody owns anything nobody cares.
(the Pope dismisses cap-and-trade and “the buying and selling of carbon credits” as a “new form of speculation”)
The Pope’s biggest problem with it, in other words, is that someone could make a profit! Yuck! Profits! They make a socialist want to throw up!
