Mayor de Blasio on Tuesday praised Pope Francis for his criticisms of capitalism and his writings on global warming, during a two-day climate conference at the Vatican.
De Blasio described the pope’s critique on “the problems of the capitalist system” as “necessary,” and his recent encyclical on the environment as a “call to sanity.”
“He is saying that institutions around the world have failed and need to deal with [climate change] much more forcefully,” de Blasio said.
The conference, Modern Slavery and Climate Change, drew leaders from California Gov. Jerry Brown to the mayors of Paris, San Francisco and Stockholm.
The Pope and Mayor De Blasio spoke about other matters that they are in full agreement on including income redistribution, the virtues of the Cuban model of society, the racial animus inherent in stop and frisk and of course the fact that Uber could in fact be the Anti-christ. The Pope has agreed to excommunicate all Uber drivers if they to not comply with the new regulations of the Taxi and Limousine Commission as promulgated by the De Blasio administration. The Pope is also considering issuing a encyclical requiring that Catholics use bicycles instead of motor vehicles that emit carbon monoxide along with other matters that will cripple modern industrial capitalist societies which is the goal of climate change elitists.
Mayor De Blasio who has not been in church for thirty five years enjoyed an instant rapport with the Pope who was busy talking about climate change instead of leading the fight against the murder of Christians in the Middle East or the fact that Planned Parenthood is using partial birth abortion baby pieces as a new revenue stream. That does not seem worthy of the pontiff's attention at this time.

To be fair, how many Planned Parenthood victims showed up to protest? How many letters have they written? How much money have they raised? Clearly it's not very important to them. Now Climate change - there's something people really care about. I mean everybody is talking about.
I bet that the term "Climate Change" appears on every single local TV news show every single day of the year. Apparently, if we solve that one, everything is fixed.
You know me bags. I am never fair.
At this point, having talked to Bill Wilhelm and Moonbeam, the Pope should be undergoing that Road to Damascus Moment.

Why do we tolerate Marxists/communists anymore in this world. They all need to be dead. The world will fucking thank us for it. Fuck, the whole universe will applaud.
Don't forget the socialists.
And it would stimulate the economy, too.
I blame it all on the Confederate flag.
There are no communists anymore. Just ask around. Nobody will admit it. They still think all the same things, but nobody is a communist. Everybody supports free speech too, just ask them.
I want to know where is the Pope in these new allegations about Planned Parenthood? Where is his moral guidance? Why is he not speaking out? Why is he not leading the charge against these vile murdering abortionists?
Why is he worried about the fucking polar bears?
What verse in the bible tells us the correct global temperature? WWJD? If we were gonna kill the planet this way, wouldn't there be something about that in Revelations?
Will you cut this crap?
Pope Francis is Christ's Vicar on Earth, last time anyone looked.
You are certainly free to disagree with him.
Just don't call yourself a "Catholic" who continues to disrespect him in such terms.
You're not quite a "Protestant."
At least I don't think you're ready for Scriptura Sola who cannot read.
Maybe "Sedevacantist."
There are plenty of "Churches" eager to receive you.
Pius X is the last legitimate Pope, eh?
Gets you off the hook for that Commie, Leo XIII.
"Pope Francis is Christ's Vicar on Earth."
How do we know Christ would want anyone in such a position among the people, or that he would want this particular man to be in it?
I say the odds are overwhelmingly against both those being true.
@Tim: Simon had a pretty good take on how to "sit out" this Papacy. He originally put it up at Althouse and I linked it while back at Trooper's private blog.
I am sympathetic with the Trooper's disappointment. I feel the same way about the Presidency. I think the current POTUS is a fraud who would willingly oversee the erosion of rule of law in this country. If he has a secret plan to save America by destroying it, I'd like to hear it.
Blind fealty to fatally flawed priests is what caused the pedophlia scandals in the church. We can just sit down and shut up or we can speak out. That doesn't make you a bad Catholic. Not in my book.
Why isn't the Pope speaking out about the latest outrage with Planned Parenthhood? Loudly. Non-stop. Leading the charge to protect the unborn.
The whole global warming scam has obviously become too big to fail. What's at stake is no less than American preemminance in published science.
The global warming movement has always been a radical wealth redistribution scheme, with the goal of supplanting the earthly wealth, power and influence of multinational oil companies. The current Pope is likely steeped in radical wealth redistribution schemes as well. Whether he cobbles together more followers than he alienates is an open question.
One may certainly disagree with the Pope on non-dogmatic matters. But if you do so, you are obliged to do it in a way that does not bring the Church and its teachings into disrepute.
You, Simon, and your like, have, in my opinion, crossed a line. I suggest you show your public writings to your Priest, or better, your Bishop, and see what he says.
Pope Francis was elected, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit by the College of Cardinals, in direct Apostolic succession, to be Christ's Vicar on Earth.
You ought to pay attention, if you call yourself "Catholic," to the ENTIRETY of the Holy Father's teaching and prayerfully consider what he has to say. He has had PLENTY to say about abortion and the entire abomination of modern sexuality. Too many people, caught in their particular political turmoil, seem willful in their desire to ignore everything the Holy Father has to say, because they disagree with some of it.
