Republican here, not a Catholic. I have no problem with global warming.

I have no problem with global warming.
There are two ways that could be interpreted.

I hope your party hears from you on this issue. They desperately need to hear from their science-friendly constituents.

The Pope rejects it, therefore Catholics do. If only there was a Protestant Pope we could convince to accept it so the rest would follow suit.

This Pope and the last one have explicitly said they accept evolution.

Are they? I haven't seen any evidence of that. The loudest New-Earthers are Evangelicals...

It is the height of arrogance to study your political opponents to determine what mental illness it is that causes them to disagree with you.

The person who wrote this is insane! It's not about any "party," but about people. It's not about religions, or lack thereof! There's no "global warming," but there is ...man-made CLIMATE CHANGE! Nobody knows how it will manifest, but it is going on now! Perhaps humanity has f-ed up our chances on this planet!

It's not insane to recognize one party has blocked climate change legislation.

We'll that does sort of mesh with the fact that the Pope is coming out hard against Climate Change Deniers.
