In reply to the discussion: Pope Francis Expected To Instruct One Billion Catholics To Act On Climate Change [View all]napi21
(45,806 posts)51. I hope all those "Catholics" we keep hearing about who "HATE DEMS"
listen to this Pope. They can HATE us all they want. I'll still take every one of their votes against the stupid Pubs who keep saying Climate Change is a hoax.
I do have a concern though. I'm afraid lots of those Catholics don't like this new Pope! He's turned their little private world upside down, and it sounds like they don't remember that this Pope too is THEIR LEADER!

I wonder if he is sincere? If he is, he'd reverse the opposition to birth control.
