VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis and Orthodox Christian leader Patriarch Bartholomew called on Friday for a collective response from world leaders to climate change, saying the planet was deteriorating and vulnerable people were the first to be affected.

The appeal comes three months after U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew from a global agreement, struck in Paris, to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

“We urgently appeal to those in positions of social and economic, as well as political and cultural, responsibility to hear the cry of the earth and to attend to the needs of the marginalized,” Francis and Bartholomew said in a joint statement.

More concern for Gaia then unborn babies.

Get the hip boots, boys and girls, the BS is getting deep.

[Red Badger]

God already has the plans for a ‘New Heaven and a NEW EARTH’, so we don’t need to worry.......................

[utahagen]

Bingo. The earth doesn't cry. These two are both fruitloops. The Orthodox faith is certainly rich and real, but I hope Catholics who, in in despair over Pope Francis have threatened to decamp for one of the Orthodox churches, realize that this Patriarch is considered to be “the First among Equals” by the Orthodox. My point is that many, many of us Christians are currently led by wackados.

[raiderboy]

This pope should be fired. He is way out of his bailey wick.

[MCRD]

So all good Catholics and Orthodox Christians out there, take all of the money that you’ve donated to your Church in the past and redirect it to your climate change hoaxter of choice. If they want to redirect income lets start with theirs.

[Repeal 16-17]

A Liberal is a Liberal, nothing else. A Liberal Pope is a Liberal, he is not truly a Pope. A Liberal Orthodox Patriarch is a Liberal, he is not truly a Patriarch. To Liberals, their political beliefs are all that matter; all else are tools to further Liberalism.

...saying the planet was deteriorating and vulnerable people were the first to be affected.

What does that mean? Who isn't vulnerable if our planet is truly declining?

Utter fools...

[hsmomx3]

You are correct.

These so called leaders are nothing more than a political voice for the world.

That is all you need to know to know that it is a sham operation. Reverend Wright’s fake church United Church of Christ (UCC) is also a member. In fact, his (communist) “Black Liberation Theology” was concocted by the KGB.

The Russians are masters at the art of deception. They must laugh their butts off at how easily westerners can be tricked and deceived. They play chess, thinking many moves ahead of their opponents, while most of us, unfortunately, suck at simple checkers.

to attend to the needs of the marginalized,” Francis and Bartholomew said in a joint statement

Hey Francis, do you know what attends to the needs of the poor and marginalized better than anything else? Pure, free-market Capitalism. It has pulled more poor people out of poverty than any other idea or system in human history. You should be appealing for countries to throw off their Socialist shackles and put Capitalism in its place.

Perhaps Pope Francis was influenced by the environment in his native Argentina:

It won’t be Exxon or Peabody that you will face at the White Throne of Judgement.

Unfortunate that Francis and Bartholomew don’t have a Bible to read!

We’re just about 7 years away from Yeshua returning to set all things back to normal for his 1000 year demonstration of the total depravity of man, before he sets it all on fire for its final destruction.

Idiots!
