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?

> 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.

Lemme guess; about all casting aside their differences and all worshipping the same god?

I have no idea. I do think there’s a good chance of an attack against him there.

Seems the “Cult of Mary” has morphed into the “Cult of Mother Earth”.

You’ve clearly not been paying too much attention to some of the pronouncements from the mainline Prot churches...

Disgusting Bolivian leader with mass murderer Che on his jacket. Note the bright commie star. Pope Franny seems to like it.

The pope has aligned himself with corrupt fraudsters, therefore his opinions are corrupt. His prescriptions for helping the poor only increase & enrich world bureaucracy at the expense of the poor.

The pope now has the credibility of Al Gore, Barack “the liar” Obama, & the corrupt UN IPCC.

Next pope please. This one is committing a grave sin in perpetuating a fraud that will hurt the poor & weak the most.

We’ve clearly been paying a lot of attention to this Marxist pope.

Levin nailed it in yesterdays broadcast. Francis is not even helping distressed brethren in the eastern rite using back channels. What he knows about capitalism is from what he experienced in a corrupt Peronista socialist society which destroyed Argentina.

Five things he needs to know?

1) John Boehner does not require an exorcism. He really is that color.

2) Joe Biden does not actually require the Last Rites. He’s just fallen asleep again.

3) You don’t need to worry about your appearance because CSPAN will have their cameras focused on the fifteen women in the gallery who have had abortions who were invited there by Nancy Pelosi.

4) There is only a slight chance that Harry Reid will want to filibuster your remarks.

5) The chambers are not equipped with kneelers.

He has to stay long enough to distract everyone from Hildabeast issues.

Equally important is abortion.

Yes, particularly in America. Be American culture/media is largely unaware of depth and magnitude of what is being done to Christians.

Abortion is important, but I would like the Pope to say: Look America - look at the rape, murder, savagery against Christians here, and here and here. Look what they are doing. Do you not know or not care?
