Pope to lawmakers: Climate change requires quick consensus
The Associated Press ^ | October 9, 2021 | By FRANCES D'EMILIO

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis on Saturday called on lawmakers worldwide to overcome “the narrow confines” of partisan politics to quickly reach consensus on fighting climate change.

“To meet this challenge, everyone has a role to play,″ Francis told the visiting lawmakers from many countries. ”That of political and government leaders is especially important, and indeed crucial.”

Before his speech, Francis gave a private audience to Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

“His Holiness’s leadership is a source of joy and hope for Catholics and for all people, challenging each of us to be good stewards of God’s creation, to act on climate, to embrace the refugee, the immigrant and the poor, and to recognize the dignity and divinity in everyone,” Pelosi said in a statement after her audience with Francis.

She called the pontiff’s 2015 encyclical exhorting people to protect the environment “a powerful challenge to the global community to act decisively on the climate crisis with special attention to the most vulnerable communities.”

During their encounter, Pelosi expressed gratitude “for the immense moral clarity and urgency that His Holiness continues to bring to the climate crisis,” the statement said.

And common sense requires the one-fingered salute - to the Pope.

“Concensus” is not science

I hate this stooge of the devil. Climate change when fully enabled will make covid restrictions look like freedom. It will bring untold misery and financial devastation to the average person.

Is this pope a scientist? Or is climate change a religion?

One of these must be true, and I’m pretty sure I know which it is.

It’s a pity he ignores the bible. I’d love to see this “pope” removed.

Alao...

Is Nancy Pelosi religious? Or is this pope a politician?

I’m pretty sure I know the answer to this one too.

This Pope is a major embarrassment to me, and I’m not even
Catholic.

The church needs to find a way to move these types of idiots
out.

challenging each of us to be good stewards of God’s creation

This would not seem to include unborn babies.

More lies from the spawn of Satan.

The anti-Pope chooses evil on every possible issue.

" . . . to be good stewards of God’s creation, to act on climate, to embrace the refugee, the immigrant and the poor."

Ok, send 3,000 Afghan Muslims and 5,000 Haitian voodoo-ists to Vatican City.

I’ve been working in environmental science for 35 years, so I’m an expert on religion. What if I say that true Christianity requires the abolition of the papacy? Oh, I’m not qualified to say that? Yeah, and the Pope is not a scientist.

It could be worse...there could be two Popes.

One in Rome...one in Avignon.
