Regardless of his Church, which as an atheist and opponent of child abuse I think very little of, he has good views and dares raise topics and questions that most people simply avoid because they would cast doubt on their current way of life.

As someone who has lived and worked in our current system for decades, I agree that we have lost our compass. I am painfully aware that the work I have been doing for decades makes no sense and that I have wasted a lot of precious time on it. It only serves to keep this crazy machine going and fill a few people's pockets, while contributing to the destruction of our world and society.

To rephrase a popular Christian [narrow-minded] saying:

"The Pope said it! I believe it! That settles it!"

'How can any rational person seriously believe this is some kind of a political 'hoax'?'
Well-meaning people are lied to without their awareness. Instead of appealing to their rational minds, their emotions are targeted and engaged…they then become an activist for the cause. Thus the terms, 'bleeding heart liberal' and, 'useful idiot.'

'It would have to be a massive complex worldwide conspiracy with everyone involved keeping silent for the past 50 years.'
Right, this is how communist organizations operate - like the KGB, for example.

'Everyone would have to be corrupt. All the evidence would have to be faked. And the laws of physics would have had to be faked as well.'
Exactly correct. Per STALIN: The bigger the lie, the better, for manipulating people's belief.

'Is that sort of thinking rational? No'
Exactly correct, it's about over-riding the logical thinking of the people in order to control them.

Who is paying these masses to do this hoaxing?

What crucial issue can unite the World?

When was the first Earth Day, and whose birthday does it commemorate?


As you research the answers to these questions, you will have the answer to your question.

REMEMBER - Most True Believers perpetuate the hoax on their own without payment, becoming 'Useful Idiots.' Others actually have careers that would end if not for this hoax.

So you have no facts? Just opinion.

americans are so used to various protestant churches who try and potray jesus as having had identical politics to Ronald Reagan , that they forget that classic catholicsm is very left wing on economic matters

nearly all previous popes while right wing on social issues , have been in favour of redistribution of wealth etc , this guy is no different

raised catholic but now atheist btw
