All of my Catholic friends can get pissed off at me if they want to, but your Pope is 100% WRONG on Economic issues. The fact that he based his views on the Leftist/Regressive/Socialist economic talking point of Trickle Down Economics tells me that he doesnt jack diddly about Economics. Also, he is 100% wrong on Climate Change. Man made Climate Change is at best, junk science. Not only is there no proof that we cause it...there is irrefutable evidence that the scientist who first promoted it, all either purposely fabricated their data, or they used piss-poor methodology to come to their conclusions. There is no reason whatsoever for any Catholic with half a brain to continue to support this guy. He isnt even a shadow of Pope John Paul II. ~ Unhyphenated America thehill/homenews/administration/228289-pope-francis-splits-with-gop “I would also ask His Holiness to take up the cause of freedom and democracy, which is critical for a free people, for a people to truly be free,” Rubio told reporters. Rubio said that Cubans “deserve the same chances to have democracy as the people of Argentina have had, where he comes from, as the people of Italy have, where he now lives.” His office declined additional comment for this story. Fellow Catholic Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) said he wished Francis would stand up for the Cuban people rather than their oppressors. “Sadly, in the case of Cuba, the Catholic Church has not always applied its basic principles of human dignity and reverence for the God-given freedoms that belong to every soul. I was supremely disappointed by press reports that the Pope had a hand in urging President Obama to cede crucial leverage that could have been used to help the Cuban people become free,” Diaz-Balart said. Its not the first time Francis has clashed with conservatives. Since his papal inauguration in March 2013, the pontiff has publicly made policy remarks about income inequality and the environment that many American Catholics werent used to hearing coming from the Vatican, and not just from the pulpit. “Inequality is the root of social evil,” Francis tweeted in March, after months earlier slamming “trickle-down” economics as a “crude and naïve” theory. Next year, as part of a speech he’ll give to the United Nations General Assembly, Francis will issue an edict urging the worlds 1.2 billion Catholics to do what they can to fight climate change.
