Pope Francis on Sunday once again urged political and business leaders "to act now with courage and vision" to care for the planet and its people in the face of the global climate crisis. His remarks, made at St. Peter's Square at the Vatican, came just hours after the close of a two-week United Nations climate change summit in Glasgow, Scotland.
The pope has been insistent about the importance and urgency of climate action, six years ago dedicating a major document — known as Laudato Si' — to the importance of environmental stewardship.

..."Despite the contrast between Catholic leaders, among parishioners the issue is less divisive: a March survey by Pew Research Center found that a large majority of American Catholics, 67% percent, say Biden should be allowed to receive Communion. In an April survey, Pew found that 55% of American Catholics believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases, compared to 59% of the general population."

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I happen to be a Christian. We Christians are an offshoot of the Catholic church.
