Pope Joins Secular Progressive Tree-Hugger Conspiracy

Posted in: Environment, Religion

Pope Benny is sounding very alarmist and hysterical about the state of the planet this holiday Christmas season.

On the day Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ some 2,000 years ago, Benedict referred to one early father of the church, Gregory of Nyssa, a bishop in what is now Turkey. “What would he say if he could see the state of the world today, through the abuse of energy and its selfish and reckless exploitation?” the pope asked, according to the Vatican’s English translation.

Obviously, Benny missed that part in the bible where God tells us to "rape" the Earth. But I wonder if this gives the supposedly devout Catholic and "proud" polluter Sean Hannity the slightest bit of cognitive dissonance.

Nah.

PS.

No, there is no connection between Scrooged and the Pope, though he does look a little like the John Forsythe character.
