It is happeningread up on climate change:
Indeed. Pope Francis and Archbishop Welby are not wrong. You can find studies denying it all you want, but fact is the VAST majority of reputable scientists (on the order of around 98%) say it’s happening, and it’s being driven by human action.Seems to me most likely that the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury are right:

It is misleading to put them together. The pope regards Climate Change as a problem, as I do. But he, unlike the Archbishop, seems to regard legal abortion as a much bigger, more urgent problem. Because of legal abortion, children are being killed in 2016, on a massive scale. The fact that Global Climate Change probably does present challenges over the next several decades does not put in anywhere near the level of legal abortion. So the Vatican and Canterbury are split.Seems to me most likely that the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury are right:

Did you see the Pope celebrating Earth Day in a local park in Rome? I think he believes very strongly in taking responsibility for our planet. What that has to do with abortion is puzzling to me. Is it a contest? Have you heard the Pope compare the two? I don’t think I have.It is misleading to put them together. The pope regards Climate Change as a problem, as I do.

Rather like Obama championing his climate change conference right after the Paris attacks. Our leaders are not only blind to the root issues of the day, but are impotent at attacking even the symptoms.

I’m not sure of the significance of this comment. The archbishop named religiously-based violence as one of the two major issues facing us. How is that being blind to the root issues of the day?Rather like Obama championing his climate change conference right after the Paris attacks.

It’s not. It’s actually mentioning the two root issues of our day.I’m not sure of the significance of this comment. The archbishop named religiously-based violence as one of the two major issues facing us. How is that being blind to the root issues of the day?
