I used to think like that but, after really paying attention to what he says...I am not so sure. He appears to be a man of great love who understands the unique circumstances of this time period. His messages are more about how he perceives God’s love and his attempts to follow with unconditional love. I do not agree with everything he says...including the loose statements he has made in this case. But, I have confidence in his love for all. That is exactly what a Pope should exemplify in this time of hatred and focus on the world.
While I am inclined to think that the observations of Wpin are right at the core, it seems to me that the Holy Father ought to be aware that his remarks are transmitted through the filter of the media, which makes the Honourable Senator’s observations essentially accurate.
Your comment is spot on.
You are probably accurate in his motivations, however, I think that idea is fatally misplaced.
The job description of the See of St. Peter is first and foremost to confirm the true doctrine of the universal Church. He needs to attend to spiritual works of mercy that are higher than the corporal works of mercy.
We have hundreds of wonderful religious orders to do acts of corporal charity...we do not expect them to expound on doctrine. We do expect it from him, but he is not doing it well.
He loves the world. He loves it so much that he wants you to worship at the altar of the earth by you paying to reverse his belief (religion) that there is climate change.
