“All of us have a responsibility, all of us, small or large, a moral responsibility. We have to take it seriously. We can’t joke about it,” he said. “Each person has their own. Even politicians have their own.”

Ahead of the Paris summit in 2015, Francis wrote a major encyclical, or papal letter, on the care of the environment which backed the gradual elimination of fossil fuels to stem global warming.

Shouldn't the Pope be preaching about Christianity? Or if he wants to delve into politics, radical Islam has committed genocide on Christians in parts of the Middle East. Why not comment on that?

The AGW debate is fundamentally about climate science and not politics or morality. I presume Francis' background is in theology and not atmospheric physics.

His is just an opinion---and it's no better than mine.

yes the pope (this current one) is a better human than you are in many many ways

Did he co-author a peer reviewed paper and get it published it in a Catholic journal?

Not in a Catholic journal. Two published though. It takes a lot of work to get it right. One usually has to resubmit after it's rejected for improper submission guidelines. Virtually every climate publication I've seen published would be rejected by real scientific journals. They don't even come close to getting it right. They're laughable to anybody that's published real scientific articles.

Why is it such a big deal that he offered an opinion?

It's not. Who cares about his opinion? I want my pope to tell me to be a good boy in Latin. No better than Leonardo DiCaprio's opinion. I want him to sing and dance for me, not his opinion about the weather.

He does have a science background.

I wonder how he reconciles that with religion. I guess religion won out. AGW is a religion, isn't it?

I agree. We have a personal responsibility to make changes. Does that mean we must be dictated what to do, or should we make these choices?


Francis has to admit that God gave us free will, free will to make decisions far more important than climate change, which, if he read the Bible, he also has to admit has been happening since the beginning of time.
Francis is a good guy and has his heart in the right place. He is a man who was put in place by mere humans to pope Catholicism. Many adore and admire him more than the creator, which is, imo, the very idolatry so frowned upon in the word. Let God be his judge and let Francis say what he thinks he must. I don't have a pope, I only have one God.

Notice that it does not say "dominion over the other animals." Man is not an animal, which violates a basic tenet of the Gaia superstition.

Pope Francis was a practicing chemist before entering seminary, and I agree with his interpretation of the Biblically established duty of Christians to be good stewards of the Earth.. but his encyclical is based on bad science, in my opinion.

We are all called to be good stewards of the Earth, but we are not all called to be stewards in the ways suggested by the Pope.

A steward's duty is to get the most profit out of the land. If he is too lazy or stupid to do that, he'd become a Greenie scumbag trying to protect all the useless or even destructive species there. He'd get fired. it's time we woke up about these bossy aggressive Eco-Eunuchs and shame and shun them into silence.

^ I have no idea what that means. And to say "many (Catholics, I suppose) adore and admire him more than the Creator" is just silliness. I don't know, maybe you're not Catholic; non-Catholics get some strange ideas about the faith. All Catholic believers have only one God.
