I remember when this was a rhetorical question.

Pope Francis has a curious understanding of the bible, according to him it’s a real book that contains stories that may or not be ‘mythical’, like the flood of Noah. He seems to be quite unsure of the veracity of the Genesis account, so he quotes secular experts who agree it’s mythical . I am guessing he does this so as to not offend the atheists.
“And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.” Genesis 6:17 (KJB)
Moving on from whether or not the ‘vicar of Christ’ actually does believe the biblical account of Noah’s flood, on his second point there is no misunderstanding him. Pope Francis believes that climate change is something that God will judge the world for with perhaps a second flood, and says nothing about God judging people for their sins. Guess no one told Francis that God cursed the earth back in Genesis 3, and Romans 8 shows of how the earth desires to be released from that curse. But isn’t that just like the Whore of Babylon to get you focused on your ‘sin’ of climate change while leaving your actual sins which you have committed unpaid for.
If you are a Roman Catholic, your pope is taking you to Hell at lightning speed. You better get saved before you die because Hell is real, and purgatory is not. Choose wisely. And I can guarantee you one thing, no one will be sent to Hell for how they treated the earth. But you will be sent to Hell for dying without getting saved by the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
FROM BREITBART NEWS: Pope Francis has warned of the possibility of a second great flood, like that of Noah’s time, if humanity fails to address global warming.
“God’s wrath is directed against injustice, against Satan,” the pope states in a book titled Of Vices and Virtues due for release Tuesday. “It is directed against evil, not that which derives from human weakness, but evil of Satanic inspiration: the corruption generated by Satan.”
“God’s wrath is meant to bring justice, to ‘clean up,’” the pontiff declares in an advance excerpt of the book published by the Italian daily Corriere della Sera Sunday.
“The Bible says that the flood is the result of God’s wrath,” Francis continues. “It is a figure of God’s wrath, who according to the Bible has seen too many bad things and decides to obliterate humanity.”
“THE BIBLICAL FLOOD, ACCORDING TO EXPERTS, IS A MYTHICAL TALE,” THE POPE STATES, PARENTHETICALLY ADDING HIS HOPE THAT NO ONE WRITES THAT “THE POPE SAYS THE BIBLE IS A MYTH.”
“But myth is a form of knowledge,” he says. “The flood is a historical tale, archaeologists say, because they found traces of a flood in their excavations.”
“A great flood, perhaps due to a rise in temperature and the melting of the glaciers, is what will happen now if we continue along the same path,” the pope warns.
“God unleashed his wrath, but he saw a righteous one, took him and saved him,” he says. “The story of Noah demonstrates that God’s wrath is also salvific.”
The pope’s new book recounts conversations between the pontiff and Father Marco Pozza, chaplain of the prison of Padua in the north of Italy.
Francis has made care for the environment and opposition to climate change a hallmark of his almost eight-year pontificate, taking to task world leaders who have shown too little resolve in their battle against global warming.
HE SAID LAST YEAR THAT IT IS “EVIDENT” THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS TO BLAME FOR A NUMBER OF HUMANITY’S SOCIAL ILLS, AS WELL AS DISRUPTING THE BALANCE OF NATURE.
“It is evident that climate change not only upsets the balance of nature, but causes poverty and hunger, affects the most vulnerable, and sometimes forces them to leave their land,” the pope told a group gathered in the Vatican. The pope’s audience consisted of participants in a meeting of members of the Laudato Sì community, named after the pontiff’s 2015 encyclical letter on the environment, which bears the same name.
“We need a real will to tackle the root causes of the ongoing climate upheavals,” Francis insisted. “Generic commitments are not enough — words, words.
Sorry Mr. Pope, but it seems that God is MIA on that these days.
Where's Father Guido Sarducci when you need him?
So like, WHEN is the Catholic Church going to stop being stupid?
I agree with you that, as a Catholic, Bergoglio has had zero effect on my faith in Christianity, the basics of the Nicene creed, the sacraments, traditional Catholic teachings, etc.
I will say, though, that Bergoglio has changed my view of the papacy... and not for the better. When I saw mainline protestantism (Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Methodists et al.) degenerate to the point of denying traditional Christian views of marriage, homosexuality, abortion, etc., I wrongly assumed that the Catholic Church was holding the line because the papacy was the difference... an institutional bulwark against disintegration into apostasy. It’s not, and Bergoglio and his minions are proving that. Personally, I will never accept a Catholic Church that approves abortion or sodomy or pseudo-marriage between sodomy buddies. And yet there are priests, bishops and cardinals who are, right now, heading down those roads. And in his insouciance, Bergoglio ignores them as he pontificates on climate change and migrants and whatever other leftist causes du jour that tickle his fancy.
Well, just to be clear, God didn't have the power to punish sinners back then, even tho' He created the Heavens and the Earth, but He suddenly can now punish people for natural solar cycles/volcanic events with newfound powers.
He clearly does not accept the Bible as the Word of God.
Therefore, he’s calling God a liar.
Judgement will be on him if he doesn’t repent. This man is doomed.
This says more about those who “selected” him than Frankie himself.
One assumes the same “selectors” remain in place so the next pope will be the same...or even worse.
This is the leader of the Catholic church.
He should know.
Semiramis started a pagan religion that included many of the traditions later found in Catholicism, including the use of the title Queen of Heaven.
There’s no Biblical justification for this and our Lord’s mother would never have considered herself as such.
The “mother-child” fixation, the celibate priesthood, an infallible high priest, and 40 days of lent are examples of other Catholic traditions that began in Babylon. (In fact, most of our Christmas and Easter traditions originated in Babylonian paganism, and were first adopted by the Catholic Church before spreading throughout Christianity.)
He has totally undermined the Church. I hate to see who is next in line after this buffoon.
What a loon. I guess he forgot to mention that this also means no more rainbows.
Is the Pope Catholic?
Not anymore.
I’ll take you all Catholic’s Pope serious when he takes a MORAL stand instead of a political one.
OH NOOOOO.. can’t take a moral stand cause ya don’t \want to chase away them contributions now do ya?
I remember when this was a rhetorical question.
It’s not only rough these days to be a Roman war criminal, as to be a Roman Catholic.
Sheesh. The Protestants are LOL.

As far as I know there are no provisions for removing a pope during his reign (other than his resignation). After the reign they can declare him an antipope.
Isn’t it about time for some white smoke?
I’m not Catholic, but will white smoke make a difference? From what I hear, the College of Cardinals have all been hand picked by Francis, so they’d just pick one like him, or worse.
This pope embodies the spirit of the antichrist, along with the globalist cabal who are desperately trying to take charge of humanity. They installed an antiAmerican regime in DC and unless the masses start pushing back against this insanity, the state of the world will only deteriorate. And the THEORY of global warming along with covid will have nothing to do with it. They are just being used to instill fear.
Noahic Covenant, of which the rainbow is a sign.
Guessing the Pope is calling Jesus a liar.
This guy really seems like the false prophet of n Revelation 13
