Pope travels to Africa, where Christians are being butchered and raped by Muslims, and talks about… climate change.

  • Progressives are literally crazy and have insane positions on:

    Climate Change
    Income inequality
    Guns

    Everyone of their 'solutions' doesn't address the problem, ignores the real drivers behind the problem and actually makes the problem worse.

    They are bat-crap crazy and only get away with it because the press is in the same boat with them.

  • His holiness, the dope, is once again trying to use his position as the biggest clown in the church to rustle up some cash for the Vatican.
    After all those lawsuits due to child molesting priests, they got some serious bills to pay you know.

  • Not quite sure why people put so much credence on the man... I mean... he is just a guy...

    although if it is true that he was a conduit of cure for a child that had cancer that is pretty cool.

    • The Catholic Church loves to set its popes up for sainthood and the process starts early in their tenure. If you hear that someone else has performed miracles, that's believable. But when they say a pope has performed miracles, take that with a grain of salt--it's probably political.

      • I have no problem taking things with a grain of salt

        A lot of people in that site are really hateful though.

        All in all as saints we should be healing people as well (in all possible ways) or teaching or ministering or whatever. So if he is doing his part then good for him that he was a conduit for healing. I hope the little girl continues to do well.

        • I'm happy for the little girl. I'm doubtful that the pope had anything to do with it. I guess that makes me a skeptical believer... or just a guy who carries a healthy suspicion of anything Jesuit. Seems to me you need to be a good person to be a conduit for the Holy Spirit in healing, and being good and being Jesuit is difficult.

          Trivia tidbit (from Wikipedia): the Concise Oxford Dictionary of the English language records "equivocating" as a secondary denotation of the word "Jesuit."

          • I am not familiar with Catholic dogma so I guess I don't really know what you are talking about. Again I have no problem being skeptical, but considering that none of us are "good", but we still can be used by the Holy Spirit... *shrugs* It is out there... let's see what the future brings.

  • How exactly would it be "catastrophic" if the denizens of the 3rd World were able to use cheap energy from fossil fuels to climb out of poverty?

  • I think the Pope has fallen off his high chair once too often....Notice how he NEVER gives away any of the Vatican's money to the poor starving people of Africa. I am sure he could swing a few gold bars their way.
