WASHINGTON - Pope Francis on Wednesday urged the United States to help tackle climate change and touched on other divisive U.S. political issues such as immigration and economic inequality on his first visit to the world's richest nation.
In a speech on the White House South Lawn on the first full day of his U.S. trip, the Argentine pontiff lauded President Barack Obama's efforts to reduce air pollution, months after Francis made the environment one of his top concerns by issuing a landmark encyclical letter to the church.
"It seems clear to me also that climate change is a problem which can no longer be left to a future generation. When it comes to the care of our common home, we are living at a critical moment of history," the pope said at a welcoming ceremony.
In an era of renewed racial tensions in the country, the 78-year-old pope invoked America's best-known civil rights leader, the late Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., to make points about the environment and equality.

I will remain Catholic. That said, this pope is anti-Catholic. What a disgrace.
We need to fight for Catholic Church Change, at least at the Papal Level
I guess nobody told him that out in the real world in America, Al Gore is a national joke, retold everwhere every time there is the slightest change in the weather.
They can’t decide if it’s warming or cooling, but somehow it’s a changin.
And it’s white people’s fault.
I am too, he is rediculus. On another note, I sing in the church choir, they made everyone go to some class on not being a child abuser or some such and then made everyone pay $5 to do a background check! I told my wife I wasn’t going much less pay $5. I told her I’m just continue right along, if they want me out come tell me! Fools
Somebody needs to write “95 More Theses” and email them to the Vatican.
“Francis made the environment one of his top concerns by issuing a landmark encyclical letter to the church.”
AKA Papal Bull
For some unknown reason, the cardinal clown show delivered a blithering, 50 IQ Marxist ape as pope to confound Catholics.
I too, will remain a Catholic, but this Pope is a Leftist wit a Communist bent.
He is Economically Ignorant and should stick to Doctrine.
His opinions are the same as any other human being’s
.
His.
You have to get past five words to get the rest of the BIBLE...”In the Beginning God Created”...if you don’t get the Creator...you won’t understand his Creation. Obviously the leader of over one billion catholics world wide has a problem with those five words and once you have forsaken the role of the CREATOR and think the Creature ( that would be us) can take over and save something is pure unadulterted paganism.
The vatican is now in cahoots with Obama and Algore and the UN and the whole plethora of allies of the Evil One
Freegards
LEX
so saying, the pope declared himself to be an ignorant man with a Jesuit agenda
I’ll pray about it. NOT
The pope has no say-so over the validity of the Most Holy Eucharist. Any Catholic who would leave Christ at the altar just because they didn’t approve of the pope, doesn’t understand the Eucharist to begin with.

Yep. It's much more important than the murder of over 50 million babies or the wholesale persecution of Christians in the Middle East.
First things first...
No one has posted a thread pic yet of Obama and the Pope with Obama having devil horns. Up on Drudge.
There will still be many that fall at his feet.
Just watch.
Pope,
Just washing and ironing your dress is a horrible waste of energy.

Perhaps defending our side from rico will change minds
Memo to Pope;
Earth is warming from the Little Ice Age.
