He should join the PCUSA. He'd fit right in!
I've never seen a pope so focused on the secular before. Jeez, dude. Get a day job.
The Pope is quite the worldly politician.
Christian church leaders that want to serve Jesus by spreading HIS word should stick to actually spreading the word of Jesus rather than their own words.

Wouldn't it make sense to pray for an end to something that is contributing to the harm of people at this point?
Well, he could pray for an end to progressive hyperbole, I suppose...but that would be spiritual suicide...
Naa.. Pope is very consistent and this is right in line with his 2015 Encyclical, Laudato si.
Ecological justice is a real thing.

It's not hyperbole.
The next thing you know he'll be praying for an end to capitalism....... /rolleyes
It sounds to me like he's worshipping mother earth instead of our heavenly Father.

You should not be posting about the Pope in negative ways in public.
So Pope prays for massive famine and starvation? Unless there are a metric ton of qualifiers he used that didn't make it into the article, that's what he's praying for.

Definitely not, but the Church is our mother, and even if you have a bad mother, you shouldnt air your dirty laundry in Public, keep it in the family.

Looked up that article out of curiosity. Here's some highlights:
Quote:
While some environmentalists and their allies have long believed potentially catastrophic human-induced climate change to be a fact, and some political conservatives and industry groups have been skeptical, experts in the mainstream of climate science have never confirmed either view.
….
An increase in extremes of temperature, dryness and precipitation in some regions. A United States Government study conducted by one of the panel's scientists has shown that these extremes are increasing in America. There is a 90 to 95 percent chance, the study concluded, that climate change caused by the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide is responsible. The intergovernmental panel forecasts an increase in droughts like the current one in the Northeastern United States, heat waves like the one in Chicago this summer, and more fires and floods in some regions.
*A "striking" retreat of mountain glaciers around the world, accompanied in the Northern Hemisphere by a shrinking snow cover in winter. In some semi-arid regions, the panel says, runoff from melting glaciers may increase water resources. But in most places, rivers and streams could be diminished in the summer.
"While there will be some beneficial effects of climate change, there will be many adverse effects, with some being potentially irreversible," says one of the panel's draft summaries.
Beneficial effects, if the panel's forecast is right, would include, for instance, milder winters in northern climes, an increase in rainfall in some regions that need it, and faster crop growth. Grain belts of North America and Russia could expand. Agricultural production worldwide is not expected to decrease much.
And the whole statement that snippet took out:
Quote:
A continuing rise in average global sea level, which is likely to amount to more than a foot and a half by the year 2100. This, say the scientists, would inundate parts of many heavily populated river deltas and the cities on them, making them uninhabitable, and would destroy many beaches around the world. At the most likely rate of rise, some experts say, most of the beaches on the East Coast of the United States would be gone in 25 years. They are already disappearing at an average of 2 to 3 feet a year.
Seems like a pretty reasonable summary overall. But if you're invested in turning it into a political / cultural battlefield, you can twist it however you want.
And yes, beaches on the East Coast are eroding at a rapid rate:

When we find appropriate replacements for fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, components of apparel, medical items and high density energy sources I will agree with him.
But he might as well be praying for an end to trees because that what much of Africa turns into charcoal for cooking on open pit fires.

No, only that he is currently the Vicar of Christ, and deserves the respect that comes with it
I respect the truth and agree he is the vicar of Christ. Unfortunately his political sensibilities and/or the political sensibilities of those he chooses to surround himself with are sympathetic to neomarxism, whether he realizes it or not.

Yes, if doing so is just complaining on a message board/twitter/Facebook etc. Again, think of him as a beloved family member, if they had a personal failing, you would confide in your friends and your family, but you wouldn't just complain about them in public. It does no good. We need to give him every benefit of every doubt

The Pope is one of the world's leading political figures. He certainly doesn't follow the example of Jesus and the apostles.

It was the Pope's political activism that compelled me to take a long, hard, look at him and of the doctrine of Catholicism which culminated in my leaving that system. I realized that the Pope was NOT following the example of Jesus as evidenced by his frequent forays into the political realm, something that Jesus NEVER did nor did the apostles. Soon thereafter I realized that both the Pope and the Catholic Church are "of the world".
1 John 5:19
19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
John 15:19
If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

His opinions on matters like climate change are just that, his opinions.
I'm genuinely surprised about your response to this. The Pope is obviously outside his wheelhouse here and should not be commenting this way. Public criticism may be the only way he even hears feedback on what he says. Paul corrected Peter in public, why should the Church not correct the Holy Father? It can be done respectfully on a message board even.
The "climate change" religion is of the world and it is Satanic and the Pope endorses it.File5 said:

No, not really. Climate change is causing dramatic damage to the environment and human lives.
