Non-alarmists have been calling climate change a "faith" for years.   Now it is official.

________

When the Pope comments on anything it is, by definition,  a "papal matter."

But watch out, Vplee.  Bestworking, the self-appointed Forum Fuehrer, is likely to rise up in high dudgeon at you for allegedly committing the egregious offense of "multiple posting."

Beternnun you can stop whining. I will leave the Catholic bashing to you. You enjoy it so much. The Catholic bashing, the Mormon bashing, the Baptist bashing, all of it except the islam bashing. That you avoid. Guess you don't want to insult any of the 'workplace violence' crowd. BTW, did you ever look at the meaning of multiple?

Do you not realize this is the newest ID of Quaildog? I thought even you would have enough sense to know that.

I posted this elsewhere, still fits.

The Catholic church has a bad reputation when it comes to science -- just ask Galileo.  The leftward greenies are gloaming on the pope for this. Just respond as to how they feel about his anti--gay marriage, anti-birth control, anti-abortion, and anti-ordination of women stances. 

There is a study that shows as an economy grows, their people have a more comfortable existence, while the environment improves.  There being enough surplus funds for people think about something besides survival. 

Read where a Vatican City official stated that the maximum number of persons on the planet should be about one billion. So, birth control, abortions, mass exterminations, -- what's the game?

As I said on the previous thread about this

I don't know why people worry so much about what the Pope says, much

less a Vatican official.........one billion........?????....Carry on if you must...

One would think that even you would have enough sense to know that when one replies to a post, there is nothing extraordinary about responding to the nickname of the person doing the posting.  I will leave it to you and the other fussbudgets to debate the "true identity" of participants.  

Fussbudgets eh? So, there is no need to be cautious on a public forum where one poster has dozens or more IDs, and has posted that some people on the forum should be killed in public? Or other posters have flat out lied about a person and claiming to know their identity when they didn't? Vplee123 last logged on in Feb., a month after bill was banned. It would have taken about two minutes for her to see the threads and know where bill went. We are supposed to believe she forgot all her log in information that she had used for years, in three months and that she didn't see the threads and know what happened to bill. I suppose it could be so, and if others want to take the poster's word for it they can. No one is hindering the poster and it seems you are completely able to dialog with said poster, so what's it to you if others are cautious and decide not to do so?? You seem to think you can tell everyone what they can and can't post, and now who you think they should be posting to. Get over yourself.

~~~~~~~~

What debate..........???

_____

Get over your own self.  Post what you will to whom you will. I do not give a rodent's rectum about what kind of drivel you post or who you post to.  I am completely able to dialog with anyone; I don't even discriminate against such tunnel-visioned knee-jerk partisans as YOU.

=================

Then shut up and stop trying to control the forums. You are the useless one that thinks you're here to 'correct' other's typos and control what they can and can't post about. So sthu about who others want to post to or post about.

Remember this beternnun? And you didn't even correct or berate yourself for your typo.

Uh, Best, this story is the subject of a topic ("Food Stamp Fraudsters") I began several days ago (see link below). Those who profess an aversion to "new" topics that basically address a previously-posted topic might take note of your performance here.

In the future, kindly avoid this ksort (sic) of topical clutter.

____

WOW! Best, you have discovered a truly MAJOR gotcha there! Well, it is the very small triumphs that keep the incompetent class happy.

____

Can you READ?  Just above I posted the following:

"Post what you will to whom you will. I do not give a rodent's rectum about what kind of drivel you post or who you post to."

Does THAT sound like I am telling you what you can or can't post?  You have completely lost it, WORSTTHINKING!

I like the large triumphs. You aren't one. Making you look foolish and the hypocrite is not that big a deal, you do most of the work. I don't settle for, or go for, the petty stuff like you do. You're happiest when you can belittle someone for a little typo. Apparently here on the forum doing that is the only place you can feel significant, and that's sad in a way. However, if you dish it out you really need to learn to take it when it's handed back to you.

==================================

Contenduh, when are you appearing again before the city council to warn us about the dangers of Amish heaters? You do know that is your claim to fame, right?!

================

 I bet those speeches are doozies!!

I suspect that the present pope was selected as penance to the left for John-Paul II's role in bringing down the Soviet empire and with then Cardinal Ratzinger condemned the Liberation Theology wing of the Catholic church:

In 1984 and 1986, through leader of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Cardinal Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI), John Paul II officially condemned aspects of liberation theology, which had many followers in South America. Visiting Europe, Óscar Romero unsuccessfully attempted to obtain a Vatican condemnation of El Salvador's regime, for violations of human rights and its support of death squads. In his travel to Managua, Nicaragua, in 1983, John Paul II harshly condemned what he dubbed the "popular Church"^[121] (i.e. "ecclesial base communities" supported by the CELAM), and the Nicaraguan clergy's tendencies to support the leftist Sandinistas, reminding the clergy of their duties of obedience to the Holy See.^[121] During that visit Ernesto Cardenal, a priest and minister in the Sandinista government, knelt to kiss his hand. John Paul withdrew it, wagged his finger in Cardenal's face, and told him, "You must straighten out your position with the church."^[122]

Sorry beternnun, but it looks like you stuttered.

I don't know how you reached that silly conclusion, but I do know that your pettiness gets more extreme with each passing day.

==================

My pettiness? Don't you mean I call you on your BS more each day? You don't like that, do you? A woman getting all uppity with you, sassing you.

Contenduh, when are you appearing again before the city council to warn us about the dangers of Amish heaters? You do know that is your claim to fame, right?!

====================

Did he really do that? That is hilarious!! What happened?

============================

He used a lot of big words that no one knew the meaning of to warn about some company claiming to be selling heaters made by the Amish...or something like that.

i haven't read up on that, but I heartily agree... Nature is at the heart of climate change, but it gets a huge boost from man along the way... Our greed and our desire to milk the planet for all its worth will bring about the next fall of civilization... Fortunately I won't be around to witness the suffering... But my children and grandchildren may...
