Once again, Pope Francis echoes the assumptions of liberalism. \u00a0In this case, Man Made Global Warming. \u00a0I\u2019m not saying there is no climate change. \u00a0Of course there is. \u00a0Every time I look out the window and don\u2019t see glaciers, I\u2019m reminded of climate change. \u00a0Likewise, I\u2019m the last to think that our approach to industrialization was altogether spot on, and am reminded that we should be at least skittish when it comes to giving blank checks to that portion of humanity that thinks science and math and engineering are the sum total of what can make the world awesome.<\/p>\n

But there is a religion of Climate Change that coincides with the religion of liberalism. \u00a0In this, evil Western Capitalists and their ways have brought the world to ruin and only by accepting the solutions of liberal, socialist elitists can we be saved. \u00a0Oh, and anyone who disagrees, or in any way questions the already proven MMGW is part of the Vast [fill in the blank with your favorite conservative group] conspiracy. <\/p>\n

So Pope Francis goes to struggling Africa, where faithful African Catholics are being brutally intimidated into accepting Western Liberal Colonialism, and decides to go off on \u2026 Climate Change<\/a>. \u00a0And he does so in perfect lock-step with the liberal narrative: It is proven. \u00a0We are all going to die if we don\u2019t do anything now. \u00a0Anyone who disagrees is part of a vicious conspiracy. <\/p>\n

Again, you can insist that Pope Francis is simply objectively faithful and pure in his manifestation of the True Catholic Faith. \u00a0Or you can probably get to the easier interpretation and admit he\u2019s a product of liberal, socialist, pseudo-Marxist Latin American liberation theologies with heavy sympathies toward modern, progressive ideals. \u00a0I\u2019d like to accept the first interpretation, but to be honest, I don\u2019t have the faith. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
