If you are not Catholic, and have a disagreement with the Pope, try picking a more diplomatic term than "moron."
This thread was posted as an example of how liberals like to misrepresent the Pope's opinions to twist them into solidarity with their own ridiculous causes. In the quote Matthews provided, it is important to note that the Pope did not refer to causation of climate change, instead speaking about eviornmental protection and fighting poverty. Both of these are ideals to ALL Christians. Perhaps you were looking for a reason to disagree with the Pope?
For future referrence, the Pope never speaks infallibly on issues that might effect you, your life, or your beliefs. Therefore, you would be best to get the entire idea out of your head. You don't seem to know what to make of it. Papal infallability referrs only to religious beliefs, not policy opinions.
“Environmental protection and the connection between fighting poverty ****and fighting climate change**** are important areas”
Yes,, the Pope DID say that fighting climate change is important. Ergo,, on that topic, he was a moron. I assume that a man of his position cannot claim ignorance of the facts of the global warming scam. So with good data,, he makes a claim worthy of a moron, or a despot.
As for being looking for a reason to disagree with him, i clearly stated that he carries his infallability in some areas, not in others, and asked catholics for opinions as to their opinion in this case as to which this might be.
Grow up. Not everything is an attack. But i will happily and enthusiastically call ANYONE a moron who says that “fighting climate change” is critical, a Christian duty, or a moral imperative. Just as i would someone who said we should prepare for the return of planet-X, the 2012 thing, etc,,,.
With his position comes great responsibility not to take such a wrong-headed position, even in matters that lie outside his zone of infallible matters.
And thats exactly what i was asking opinions on. When he said that,,, do roman catholics it considered a matter of Theology, or no? IE,, is fighting climate change considered a theological position, one of say, stewardship,, bringing it under the umbrella of his infallability?
Or is he just speaking as an individual?
And i do indeed hold someone to a higher standard when they are literally surrounded by scores of the best researchers and scholars on earth. And Santorum is right on this one,,, no matter what Matthews says.
