This Pope is hardcore socialist.

Much like the POTUS.

Two peas in a pod.

Did he mention Christ anywhere in this speech?

Much talk about climate change, but no mention of abortion.

I’ll be watching and listening to Pope Francis very carefully.

He did surprising well speaking English. God bless him for that.

I’m no fan of this Pope, so I wasn’t disappointed with his speech.

I just “knew” he wouldn’t dare to “shake the conscience” of his comrade-in-arms by mentioning abortion or the right to life. MAYBE that subject will be broached at another time.

P.S. Silly me, the _resident doesn’t have a conscience!

Mr. President, I find it encouraging that you are proposing an initiative for reducing air pollution. Accepting the urgency, it seems clear to me also that climate change is a problem which can no longer be left to a future generation.

I was hoping that this text of the speech was a joke or scam, but it appears to be real. I knew this Pope was a Leftist, but the mask is really coming off now. This speech is as sad as it is outrageous.

unjust discrimination

What does he consider just discrimination?

to build a just and wisely ordered society

“Just” according to who’s definition?

and to rejecting every form of unjust discrimination.

Who gets to decide which discrimination is unjust?

My comment to my wife: Could you imagine if our pastor had a standing room only crowd and was broadcasting to millions and the main topic was global warming?

Could you imagine Peter or Paul having millions listening to them and they talk about the weather?

Could you imagine Jesus giving the sermon on the mount and talking about weather?

A lot of clowns on this thread apparently missed the Pope’s remarks about adhering to the founding principles of this country, respecting and supporting marriage and family and concern for religious liberty.

People see what they want to see and ignore what is inconvenient.

He was never going to come out and slap Obama in the face about abortion directly in this venue, but missing the above mentioned remarks is telling.

I hope he has strong words before Congress about abortion / Planned Parenthood. I’m not convinced yet and I hope he doesn’t miss this opportunity.

“...building a society which is truly tolerant and inclusive,...”

The “truly tolerant and inclusive” are those most determined to destroy the Church. If he does not realize how the meaning of those words have been twisted to suit an agenda I am concerned. If he does realize how those words have been twisted to suit an agenda I am very much afraid.

In addition to being the Pope we need to remember that he is also the head of the Vatican state.

Very disappointing remarks. Air pollution? Common home? There is nothing HOLY or apostolic about anything he said.
