What are the odds that we would have the worst president of my lifetime serving at the same time as the worst Pope of my lifetime?

[Logical me]

The Pope from a communists Country is still a communists. He does not truly represent Catholicism.

[Lou L]

It seems to me that when rolling our Laudato Si, the Pope and his PR people had no problem tweeting select thoughts about consumption, and use of fossil fuels, and oppressing third-world countries. Did they not realize the irony of using electronics and technology, and the components of the hardware? Did they not appreciate the instantaneous ability to communicate to billions, and how that was made possible through electricity?

I've wondered this aloud before, but I think this Pope would prefer his sheep living not with modern-day conveniences, but in the drudgery of the Middle Ages. Like that, we could all be serfs and give whatever meager wages we earned to the Popes and kings.

This is a good essay - a well-argued and reasoned response to the rhetoric of Francis and the leftists who support him. It should be shared widely!

This Pope should stop viewing the World thru his Anus.
America’s part in WWII, because of it’s people’ Ability , resources and Manufacturing Skill is the Only Country able to supply all the Ingredients to prosecute the war with our Allies to a winning conclusion. Without America there would
be nothing left in Europe not under Hitler’s control. That includes the Roman Catholic Church. There would be no need for the Current Pope.

OK, the Pope has spoken.

I will inform our local big Roman Catholic Church that this must be their last Parish/Spring/Summer/Fall/Apple/Pumpkin/Pierogi/whatever Festival.

These festivals promote conspicuous consumption, auto emission pollution, alcohol consumption, gambling, and other non-green and unacceptable behaviors. They must end these NOW.

**Yesterday he was in Cuba, where he had no criticism for the regime that has locked up people for being Christian.**

The Pope is on a spiritual mission not a political one.

[Impy]

Well Shortstop, it happened so....I’d say they were 100%.

Good article.
