Pope Benedict XVI Urges Young People To Care For The Planet, Calls For Sharing Of Water

[audubon1946]

The Pope as a human being is of course a sinner. But as a servant of God it is natural that he should be concerned about the health of the earth; as should everyone. George Bush on the other hand drags his feet and blows off the evidence of global warming because the wealthy corporations that keep his pockets jangling would see a restraint on their polution as not very friendly. If we do not take care of the earth then eventually she will not take care of us. Blazing temperature rises, fires, and floods already threaten much of the food supply around the world, and mostly in countries where it can least be afforded. Instead of spending countless billions on a war to bring democracy to a people who doesn''t want it, those billions should be put to improving the health of the earth before she dies. To ignore the fact that she is in dire straits is a huge sin.

Dear "JesusFace", does your love of god translate to ''it''s fine that priests in multitudes are sexually molesting our children'' and ''it''s fine that priests inside their private club of Holier Than Thou "Catholicism" are extremely political inside their private club where walking with the Father has zero to do with politics?''

You keep your sick twisted version of "God" to yourself. And, using the name of ''Jesus'' does not commit you to higher levels of anything but fraud and idiocy.

How about taking care of our young kids first?

Green earth can wait.

We want all the Fr. Pedophiles off the pulpit forever!

Sounds like the pope is afraid that Doomsday is approaching. Shouldn''t he rejoice, since he is so sure he''ll get to sit next to god for all eternity?

Also, when things are CREATED aren''t they fixed and unchanging? Is he trying to tell us that things WE do can make things different, dare I say - evolve?

Doomed we are all Doomed!

What you''re asking is for BlondMadison to willing accept intellectual enslavement as you obviously have.....

How much energy is wasted and pollution generated by electing a new pope every few years? The last time it cost an estimated $170 million dollars.

Meanwhile a new basilica is being built in Oakland at a cost of $190 million dollars.

Then there''s the $500 - $600 million dollars in hush money that''s being paid out by the Los Angeles diocese.

How much time and energy is spent stealing / collecting this money from elderly pensioners who are conned into donating their life savings for such noble endeavors as listed above? How, in the name of god, can these alleged religious figures frivolously waste this money?

Why doesn''t the Vatican do something about rogue churches and denominations that openly support presidential, congressional, or senatorial candidates? Shouldn''t they have to honor the separation of church and state? If they aren''t, shouldn''t they have to pay income and property taxes like any other lobbying / PAC organization?

Come on, neo-cons, aren''t you going to call the Pope a lib moonbat perpetuating the Gore-bal warming hoax?
