[satire] Pope Says He Will Address Sex Abuse Scandal Once He’s Finished Talking About Climate Change
The Babylon Bee ^ | 8/16/2018

VATICAN CITY—In his first public statement on the horrifying, devastating report on sexual abuse within the Catholic Church, Pope Francis stated he would address the controversy in detail once he’s done talking about climate change for a few more weeks.

The head of the Roman Catholic Church claimed he is deeply concerned with the tragic report, but is “just too swamped” with work fighting climate change, criticizing capitalism, and advocating for other issues of social justice to talk about the repulsive report at the moment.

“Rest assured, once I have exhausted my talking points on the need for government policies to crack down on their carbon footprints, we’ll start looking this report over,” he said. “Then I’ll be sure to make a statement on it. We just didn’t want to jump to conclusions too early, something that we’re not concerned about with man-made climate change. Just with this.”

This guy is a howling at the moon lunatic. Obviously he never read

Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

It was maybe written as a satire, but unfortunately it is also true.

One could only hope the Pope knows more about his religion than he does about science.
He currently displays imbecile knowledge on both, it appears.

It should be noted that although Pennsylvania’s report is out, Philedelphia’s report hasn’t been released yet. It will get worse.

Climate change caused those priests to do what they did I guess.

Best satire site in the World.

This headline should have been a hint that it deals in parody:
“Death Penalty Still Permissible For People Who Drive Slowly In The Left Lane, Pope Francis Clarifies”

:D

Satire is at it’s best when you get sucked-in because it is plausible.
