Pope Francis and climate politics
Washington Times ^ | December 4, 2016 | E. Calvin Beisner

Posted on 12/05/2016 8:47:18 PM PST by ebb tide

Reuters reports, “Pope Francis urged national leaders on Monday to implement global environmental agreements without delay, a message that looked to be squarely aimed at U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.

“Addressing a group of scientists that included theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, the pope gave his strongest speech on the environment since the election of Trump, who has threatened to pull out of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change.

Popes used to be more concerned about saving souls, the fake Pope is more concerned about implementing international redistribution of wealth in the name of saving the planet from a mythical CO2 danger.

Poop Francis needs to be excommunicated just like his friend Castro was.

The Pope is about worldly things. He worships the earth and anything carnal.

While the Pope is busy with that maybe Bill Nye can give an encyclical for the RCC.

My apologies to Catholic FReepers. No offense to the RCC was intended by that remark.

I’m Catholic, and I’m not offended by anything you said.

This is the worst Pope in centuries, and possibly of all time, depending on how long he lives.

If you think the Pope gives a rat’s ass about abortion, go to Bing, and search for EMMA BONINO POPE FRANCIS. Look at the abortionist, murderer of 10,000 babies, and the Pope, grinning at each other, gazing into each other’s eyes.

For weeks, since the publication of the Five Questions, the Pope has been sending out his bitches among the Cardinals, archbishops, and Vatican priests, to trash the Four Cardinals. But he proves his complete intellectual dishonesty by refusing to answer the questions. Every educated, non-heretical Catholic knows immediately upon reading them that the answers are no, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Bergoglio heaps praise on one heretic after another—living and dead. He heaps insults and slander on believing Catholics, from little children to noted theologians.

By the fruits they appoint, you shall know them.

Thank you. I try hard not to criticize the leaders of anyone’s faith outside my own and even then with caution.

You have just told me much more than I knew about this Pope and I extend great sympathy to you for a terrible situation. May it be resolved soon and with as little pain to the whole of the RCC as possible.

In spite of my wisecracking about it it’s not funny and not good in any way.

I don’t recognise this guy as a pope, no offence taken, and I’m sure none by other Catholics. Part of my family is eastern Orthodox Christian, I’m considering moving in that direction, the Vatican is lost as far as I’m concerned.

This collectivist “Pope” must’ve been in a deep blue funk when Castro died. I do remember the prescient words of many FReepers when the Argentine was selected: “As a Jesuit, he bears serious watching.”

Me, I guess I'm going to hell because it's 90 degrees outside here in the Philippines and I use an air conditioner, which is a sin against Mother Gaia.

The Pope's opinion on politics is just that: An opinion of an elderly leftist who happened to get his job via a conspiracy of other leftists.

no apology needed.

It used to be a joke to say “is the Pope Catholic?”.

Now a lot of us wonder if he is even a follower of Christ.

Wow, Stephen Hawking, the hawker of unintelligible books written for the layman, hears a speech given by by Pope Frankie.  Both minds are as crippled as Hawking's body.

Here's the scientific formula to explain why intelligence cannot escape from this black hole:

Elite buffons = Minds x Crippled2

Ok, we’ve found ourselves with a dope for a pope and a true ass as a President. But really, was it necessary we find both in the same era? Like America, I still love the Catholic Church; but like America, not very enthralled with its leaders at the moment.
