For everyone chiming in on religiosity, Catholicism or whatever. My point of this thread was simply that ...There is a man who is now the leader of a hugely powerful church...that has raked his ranks and held it's hierarchy to be more accountable, like never before. And, now has some extremely bright scientists putting together yet, another incriminating report on man kinds continuous disregard for our planet.
By doing so, he will enlighten many many more people that would normally disregard this trend. He puts principles and kindness  above what any of his predecessors did. This is such a breath of fresh air to me.

Those scientists wouldn't have jobs if they didn't toe the line.
Global warming, oh I mean climate change, is the government wanting you to pay carbon taxes. It's a scam and there are plenty of legit scientists that don't agree with the government grant stooge scientists

right... like the scientists who intentionallly mislead people about the results they found regarding marijuana killing brain cells.

um... yes. exactly.

How educated are you in Bronie culture?

I have a couple of friends who are bronies, i dont know much about it cause we dont really talk about it but i dont judge. Bronies, furries,  Christian, whatever your crazy thing is its cool with me as long as you arent pushy with your beliefs. I dont understand the compelling need to judge an individual based on generalizations or preconceptions of the group they associate themselves with. If people understood how to live and let live this world would be paradise imo.

The least the church can do is shut the fuck about things it is ignorant of and stop being hypocrites.

You are so amazingly starched Zappa! How do you get outa bed in the morning? lol.. 99% of all scientists including NASA and every other government branch that has spent endless hours combing over every single bit of comprehensive data that has been collected agree that the planet is in trouble because of human interference. But , oh, fagetaboutit you and all the other geniuses out there and your "bought and paid for" quasi-scientists disagree. It is fucking laughable.

Speaking of which, has Francis done much to clean up the pedophile ring existing within his church, or is he making a lot of noise about other controversial subjects?

---

That's a good question....I do know that during the Christmas gathering at the Vatican...He chastised almost every one in attendance for NOT doing their jobs properly...for padding their wealth, for acting above others. The only people that he expressed gratitude for doing good work were the janitors and the wait staff, cooks. I would think that if anyone would go after these disgusting perverts....it would be him. I hope so.

The climate constantly changes.  Always has since the beginning of the earth.  Why are you afraid of change and why do you think it will be bad?

what does Paul have to do with it? Peter was "the rock upon which the church was built" essentially Peter was the first Pope. Paul wasn't even one of the 12 apostles.
