Christians and other religious minorities are suffering genocide in the Middle East and parts of Africa directly as a result of Islamic jihad. They cannot afford to worry about the effects of climate change. They are in a daily battle for their lives
Pope Francis addressed the United Nations General Assembly on September 25th. He started out by praising the UN, which is observing its seventieth anniversary this year. He gave credit to the UN for such achievements he described as the “codification and development of international law, the establishment of international norms regarding human rights, advances in humanitarian law, the resolution of numerous conflicts, operations of peace-keeping and reconciliation, and any number of other accomplishments in every area of international activity and endeavour.” He said such achievements “are lights which help to dispel the darkness of the disorder caused by unrestrained ambitions and collective forms of selfishness.”
After his introductory paragraphs of praise for the UN, Pope Francis then proceeded to challenge the world leaders and diplomats in attendance in the packed chamber. He called upon them to move beyond the “selfish and boundless thirst for power and material prosperity,” which, the pope warned, “leads both to the misuse of available natural resources and to the exclusion of the weak and disadvantaged.”
That’s because he likes / finds value in islam
He said in his speech to Congress that he is an admirer of Thomas Merton and contemplative prayer

He is into the occult - all this is NEW AGE religion
When dealing with such awesomeness the only term that fits is “the Big Stupid”.
Pope Coward, the First.
The Mother Church is always a profile in courage when it comes to the bloodthirsty ROP.
When the maniacs were pursuing Salman Rushdie, their attitude was pretty much, “Go get him boys.”
The Pope commited a sin against God ignoring the genocide of Christians in the Middle East. Tis a sin in my book, but I am not a Catholic.
