Not the Bee:

quote:

Pope Francis issued a new call for climate change action on Wednesday, when he slammed the United Stated in particular as "irresponsible" on emissions compared to China.

"The world in which we live is collapsing and may be nearing the breaking point," the pope wrote in the 12-page "Laudate Deum," which means "Praise God" in Latin.

"If we consider that emissions per individual in the United States are about two times greater than those of individuals living in China, and about seven times greater than the average of the poorest countries, we can state that a broad change in the irresponsible lifestyle connected with the Western model would have a significant long-term impact," he wrote.

After taking square aim at the United States, Francis heightened the alarm about the "irreversible" harm to people and the planet already underway and lamented that once again, the world’s poor and most vulnerable are paying the highest price. The pope said, "The necessary transition towards clean energy sources such as wind and solar energy, and the abandonment of fossil fuels, is not progressing at the necessary speed."

He's not good at math, apparently.

Emissions per person? What a stupid fricking stat.

China is powering up multiple new coal burning power plants every month.

Pope can get bent. I’m sick and tired of the US being held to different standards than every other country.

There was a time not that long ago when Americans were fearful of Catholics in Washington, especially in the Oval Office as we would never be completely sure that it wasn’t actually being run from the papacy in Rome.

I am still concerned with that, especially today with Biden in office. The RCC needs to come to grips with their post empirical rule and focus on their faith, and issues within the RCC, not the least of which is a dwindling membership. But instead, they focus on “climate change” What does climate change have to do with reaching the lost who don’t trust upon Christ for their salvation, unless of course it’s not about that, and about trusting upon them and the power their wield over people instead?

Francis is a dirty low down bold face liar

Catholics should stop tithes to the church until he is removed.

Because it’s impossible to calculate. Too many variables individually.
