That's cute, and coming from the leader of what?s probably the wealthiest institution in the entire world.  Heaven knows the catholic church has never participated in the unfettered pursuit of money or worldly goods.  LOL

The church's all have many sins....the current Pope can' be blamed for them at all.....I'm not Catholic, but it's obvious that he's way different than past papal leaders. I give him kudos for speaking out.....he's a welcome change from the past Pope's.....more down to earth for sure...

Pope Francis and Humane Ecology

http://iasc-culture.org/THR/channels/THR/2015/07/pope-francis-and-humane-ecology/

Dennis

"Francis offers a hopeful, humane ecology. As John Murdock argues, anyone looking for good companion reading for Laudato Si? should consider the works of Wendell Berry, who has spent the past half century articulating his own Christian integral ecology. The title of Berry?s most recent essay collection is Our Only World, while the title page of Laudato Si? defines its subject as the ?care of our common home.? At the end of one essay Berry writes, ?To learn to meet our needs without continuous violence against each other and our only world would require an immense intellectual and practical effort, requiring the help of every human being perhaps to the end of human time. This would be work worthy of the name ?human.? It would be fascinating and lovely.? Laudato Si? suggests that Pope Francis would agree."

Borowitz breaks me up......LOL



MADISON, WISCONSIN (The Borowitz Report) ? Serving notice that he intends to go toe-to-toe with the controversial real-estate mogul, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker used the official announcement of his Presidential candidacy to assure Republican voters that he is as horrible as Donald Trump.

?Donald Trump has grabbed a lot of headlines over the past few weeks by spewing bigotry and venom,? Walker told an enthusiastic crowd of supporters. ?I want to make it clear that when it comes to those things, I take a back seat to no one.?

Concluding his speech with a line that triggered a standing ovation, Walker said, ?To those who thought Donald Trump was the only sociopath in the race, let me say this: not anymore.?

Prior to his announcement, aides to the Wisconsin governor had privately fretted that by establishing his identity as an arrogant and ill-informed merchant of hatred, Trump had appropriated Walker?s brand.

In the hopes of proving that Trump has no monopoly on odiousness, aides have released a point-by-point comparison showing that on such key issues as worker?s rights and health care, Walker is just as terrifying as the former reality-show host.

Acknowledging that Trump has dominated media attention for now, Walker?s aides believe that the governor will eventually reclaim his rightful mantle as the worst person in the race.

?Sooner or later, the Trump candidacy is going to fall apart and voters are going to be looking for another dick to vote for,? one aide said. ?Scott Walker wants to be that dick.?

While I like Ben Carson as a person, and what he stands for, to me he's not POTUS. I like Walker but his stance on immigration is wrong. Perry is just blah. Rubio has issues. Bush I loved as FL gov. but he's gone lib lite. Trump would be great for the economy. But I doubt he can work with Congress. And he's flip flopped parties too many times. The rest are all RINOs.
