Five Things Pope Francis Needs To Know Before He Addresses Congress

1. There are bigger, more pressing problems than climate change No, really, there are. Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), the congressman who is boycotting the papal address because he thinks the Pope is behaving “like a leftist politician” gives some excellent examples here. Foremost, surely, is the persecution and murder of Christians (and other minorities) in Africa and the Middle East by Islamist groups such as Boko Haram and ISIS. If the Pope isn’t going to stick up for his flock in times of crisis what exactly is the point of the Papacy?

[DoughtyOne]

Directions home, and the nearest cab that can take him to JFK.

[Bullish]

#6 Christians who aren’t catholic think he’s totally full of crap.

[fatnotlazy]

He doesn’t care. He’s another shill for the climate change hoax and anti-Americanism.

[Dagnabitt]

How long is this creepy old Argentinian communist going to be in my country? Seems like a year already.

[Biggirl]

Be patient, he is going to be in the USA until the end of Sunday.

[D-fendr]

Foremost, surely, is the persecution and murder of Christians (and other minorities) in Africa and the Middle East by Islamist groups such as Boko Haram and ISIS.

Yes, this should be topic #1 for Pope Francis.

[NTHockey]

Equally important is abortion.

[Ann Archy]

He SHOULD have made his talk yesterday all about ABORTION and Christians being wiped out all over the Middle East, but he didn’t, so I have no reason to listen to what he says. I saw about 10 minutes worth yesterday.

"Pope Chavez"

“The environment is suffering damage that could be irreversible — global warming, the greenhouse effect, the melting of the polar ice caps, the rising sea level, hurricanes — with terrible social occurrences that will shake life on this planet.”

“I believe this idea has a strong connection with reality. I don’t think we have much time. Fidel Castro said in one of his speeches I read not so long ago, ‘tomorrow could be too late, let’s do now what we need to do’.”

“I believe it is time that we take up with courage and clarity a political, social, collective and ideological offensive across the world — a real offensive that permits us to move progressively, over the next years, the next decades, leaving behind the perverse, destructive, destroyer, capitalist model and go forward in constructing the socialist model to avoid barbarism and beyond that the annihilation of life on this planet.”

—Hugo Chavez, at the 16th World Festival of Youth and Students, held in Caracas on August 8-15, 2005

“... he’s totally full of crap.”

yeah, and he’s getting it packed real tight. Plus a reach around. No wonder the smile of wonder!

[Apple Pan Dowdy]

The biggy, the point that points to the pope's depravity... "Gaia and God are not compatible. If you believe that God sent his only begotten son in order to die on earth for our sins you may have noticed something distinctive about Jesus. He took the form not of a sloth bear or a cockroach or a snail darter but a man. Presumably this is why God gave man dominion over earth. Because by making man in His image He implicitly recognised that mankind was supposed to be top dog. In his encyclical the Pope tries to argue his way out of this."

The article speaks of his "popularity". Popular among who? Popular among the non-Christians and the watered-down Christians, the feel-good people who want someone to tell them that a pope's blessing can magically wave them into heaven, the people that feel that Christ's WAY to heaven is just too narrow a path for them.

[Original Lurker]

Seems the “Cult of Mary” has morphed into the “Cult of Mother Earth”. That would seem a logical evolution given the times in which we’re living.

The idolatry of the Catholic churches in Europe is astonishing. Can’t say for them state-side as I’m Protestant.

[junta]

Yesterday his soundbites that Rush played were painful to listen to, might as well hire Jon Stewart to deliver bad political rhetoric he at least can deliver it with a little mirth.

Surely, this will be high on the Pope's agenda, right?

[nuconvert]

A little research by James Delingpole would reveal that
the Pope is going to Africa in Nov. and plans to talk about relations between Christians & muslims.

[from occupied ga]

What makes the author think the pope doesn't know any of this. The pope is a dedicated Marxist. Like 0 he doesn't let facts or common sense get in the way of his ideology (which is NOT Catholicism, but socialism).

What happens to an evil hard core leftist fool when he's elected pope? He remains an evil hard core leftist fool.

[StonyBurk]

I seem to recall—that in his day— Adolf Hitler attempted to use a Pope to give legitimacy to his pagan Christianity. Obama suggests there is indeed nothing new under the sun.But then Muslims have always enjoyed their use of and worship of Hitler.

"I really appreciate you talking about climate change like we discussed. The check will be on your desk when you get back to the Vat"
