Pope Francis: Climate Change Action Can’t Wait

Jumping into the issues of the day, Pope Francis opened his visit to the United States with a strong call Wednesday for action to combat climate change, calling it a problem that “can no longer be left to a future generation.” President Barack Obama, in turn, hailed the pontiff as a moral force who is “shaking us out of our complacency” with reminders to care for the poor and the planet.

The White House mustered all the pageantry it had to offer as the pope arrived at the White House before an adoring crowd of thousands and a nation that seemingly cannot get enough of the humble pontiff who is rejuvenating American Catholicism while giving heartburn to some of its conservatives.

Speaking in a soft voice and halting English, Francis delivered a strong message against those who doubt the science of climate change, saying that the warming planet “demands on our part a serious and responsible recognition” of conditions awaiting today’s children.

It was a message sure to delight the Obama White House, and liberals in general. But the pope’s message had something for conservatives, too, with a pointed call to protect religious liberties — “one of America’s most precious possessions.”

Welcome to autumn, your holiness.

Think I’ll buy Steyn’s new book on global warming. I hear it eviscerates the entire movement.

So, if one guy, Steyn, can put this in perspective, there is only one explanation for a guy with the resources of a Pope to take a bad opinion over a more rational approach. That would be affinity for the other objectives of the warmist crowd.

We’ve wondered where he really stood. Now we know. He’s a politician.

[Chaguito]

Can’t tell...He never mentioned God.

[Girlene]

He seems to be very naïve man. He might want to pray for wisdom.

[Lucky9teen]

pope Francis proving what a douche canoe he is.

[Incorrigible]

Oh ETL... What are we going to do?!

[xzins]

Not exactly what you want to hear about the leader of Christianity’s (the world’s?) largest religion.

[eartick]

STFU, get in your lil Popemobile and get back to the vatican with your refugee family (singular).

Go preach your BS science to the masses that want to listen to it.

You never mention what is important to your followers, God and the Holy Sacrament but stand with the Antichrist in DC as if you are comfortable. Flies buzzing your faces.

May God forgive you for letting the true believers down.

Pope - sell this crap to China

[Tau Food]

STFU, get in your lil Popemobile and get back to the vatican with your refugee family (singular).

Boy, that sounds painful.

[SunkenCiv]

I'm *certain* that he's not just some product of liberation theology, but will call out Planned Parenthood and StemExpress *by name* in his sure-to-come explicit condemnation of abortion.

Hmm. I could have sworn I heard a rimshot go off somewhere in the house.

[backwoods-engineer]

I wonder when he'll make membership in VHEMT a sacrament.

Glad to know I'm not the only one with an eye on this VHEMT insanity. I first heard of it back in the 90's. Evil. Straight from Hell.

What Future Children?

They have been murdered and Sold for Parts at a Mafia Chop Shop!

[right way right]

From John 21:15-19 15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” 16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” 17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. 18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”,

There’s a few left up the timestream on a carrier the liber...er I mean raiders haven’t annexed yet....yet.

[ealgeone]

If he doesn’t PUBLICALLY denounce abortion and gay marriage AT THE WHITHOUSE, he’s not the leader God intended.

He should follow the example of Paul and Peter....they hit the issues of sin head on.

[Chauncey Uppercrust]

But the murder of God`s unborn Children can wait? I say the pope is a scum bag, there I said it

[Chauncey Uppercrust]

Franklin Graham is a Christian leader, cant say the same for the pope..uncapitalised on purpose

[eartick]

I guess I could have said (plural)

[xzins]

I agree. He was in no danger at the White House. If he had a burden to speak out on ‘climate’, then he certainly could have spoken out of abortion and the marketing of baby parts.
