The Pope is not a well man, I guess he does not believe in science.

1. When has the Catholic Church not questioned science? Since Galileo and before that? n/t

3. It's OK. The Roman Catholic Church will apologize for this position...

4. Who cares what that Nazi thinks.

He won't even condemn his own bible that commands its readers to kill people that aren't Christian.
Why the hell would he accept global warming ?

Can't seem to find anything through Google, but I'm curious.

8. Umm... I read the article...

Where does it say he rejects science in any shape? I'm an atheist and I can't stand the Pope for many reasons, but the argument he uses:

"Humanity today is rightly concerned about the ecological balance of tomorrow," he said in the message entitled "The Human Family, A Community of Peace".

"It is important for assessments in this regard to be carried out prudently, in dialogue with experts and people of wisdom, uninhibited by ideological pressure to draw hasty conclusions, and above all with the aim of reaching agreement on a model of sustainable development capable of ensuring the well-being of all while respecting environmental balances.

"If the protection of the environment involves costs, they should be justly distributed, taking due account of the different levels of development of various countries and the need for solidarity with future generations.

"Prudence does not mean failing to accept responsibilities and postponing decisions; it means being committed to making joint decisions after pondering responsibly the road to be taken."


...Was not all that brash at any point. Please explain.
