Reply to: Poe Francis climate change irony

[d000hg]

e.g. Pope Rejects Lunch with Boehner, Pelosi, McConnell, Reid: He will be Dining with the Homeless

Like Corbyn I guess - you might utterly disagree with everything he says and believes in, but he does at least seem to put his money where his mouth is, practice what he preaches, etc.

I don't listen to a word the man says anyway, so /shrug. He has little to say that is of interest to me.

This pope seems to talk a lot of sense, I think. Not because he's the pope... he just seems a good egg.

Er, isn't that a Fiat who now also own Chrysler?

Yes, but the Fiat is not in the news yet!

If they were really keen on the environment they would forego the fish and eat lentil and marmite bake.

Well millions of people eating lentils is really helping the environment

He is doing his bit - driving a small engined Volkswagen...

Same here, but it's ironical that someone so unimportant to me says something ironical that it interests me

Maybe he's caught onto the fact that selling the "green" alarmist feckwittery can be cast in the same light as the Church selling "salvation" a couple of centuries ago. Nice new business venture, with plenty of cash to tap into. Plenty of gullible sheep to herd into his flock for what is otherwise a declining business model.

Pope Francis urges action on climate change on visit to US

It is funny to see US politicians who promote themselves as "good Catholics" to get votes squirming a bit because they are in total horror at Pope Francis's anti-poverty stance and non-consumption based approach.

“If the Pope stuck to standard Christian theology, I would be the first in line,” U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., wrote in a lengthy column at conservative website TownHall.com. “But when the Pope chooses to act and talk like a leftist politician, then he can expect to be treated like one.”

Translation - hey Pope - get your f****** tanks off my lawn.

Blimey Catholics have "Power Over Ethernet" called Francis? I suppose it fits in with Bonjour for odd names.

If we could provide them with the proper launching facilities they could do us all a favour and blast themselves into a low orbit.

They can't God's chosen people beat them to it :

I didn't say Catholics were keen on the environment.

Great arguments BP.

And I thought Catholics already forsook meat on Fridays... so that's a 14% reduction
