Respectfully, the Pope should ask himself how much of the world’s excess— in terms of greed, gluttony, competition and ostentatious consumption—is directly attributable to the lack of God in people’s lives. Were people grounded in the gospel with humility, charity and commitment to time-honored values, then much of the world’s wastefulness would cease on its own without government coercion.

I know devoted Catholics that shake their head at this idiocy of this Pontiff,
and if they hang on any words it is those of the Gospels.

Soros gives him a hard run for the money.

Id say Soros is worse, particularly for America.

No, he is dangerous. And was placed as Pope for a reason. Likely controlled by a higher puppet master (Rothschilds?)

Buried in the WikiLeaks was the mention of a Catholic Spring to be Similar to the Arab Spring that was such a success

It may mean nothing to you, but a billion Catholics across the globe hang on this guy’s every word.

You’re making a joke, right? I know many Catholics who would get a hearty laugh at hearing such nonsense, because it’s generally acknowledged that most don’t know or care what the Pope says or thinks.

Committing to living a simpler lifestyle is one thing, but condemning the third world to unrequited poverty is quite something else entirely. God may have given the Pope a big heart, but not so much of an intellect.

“No, he got in trouble for persisting in teaching an unproven theory as a scientific fact -”

Yea, because the RCC was set up by Jesus to be the arbiter of science. It’s right there in the Bible.

Oh wait...

I would love to ask these people just two questions.

1. What all is made from ‘fossil fuels’?

2. What are so-called ‘fossil fuels’ made from? (Hint: NOT fossils!)
