From the February 17 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:

Agreed;look at how he takes care of himself.
I have always had a fondness for St. Francis of Assisi, and consider him my patron. I like to think of him as the medieval evironazi.
The INDIVIDUAL Bishops who are taken in by this hoax are free to espouse their positions, but I am not bound to follow them. We are free to do with the earth what we want.
FINALLY an admission.
That's the problem. I grew up Catholic, and I can tell you that in the Church/Sunday School we were taught half truths. We never studied directly out of the Bible once. It was not until later in life did I start studying the Bible, the JPS Publications and the Qur’an. Please go read Psalm 24 which basically says that the Earth belongs to the Lord and everything in it. We have no right to destroy it.
Vatican believes in Global Warming and says man is responsible for it.
The Vicar of Christ's favorite football team is Bayern Munich. Am I going to hell if I am a Manchester United fan? The Holy Father is only infallible when speaking ex cathedra. His PERSONAL opinion on "global warming" is as binding on practicing Catholics as his opinion that Bayern is the best football team.
There's a riddle for ya....
Belief in something that requires no proof is faith.
Your position is a matter of faith.
It's just like your boy Jindal's belief in creationism.
Why stop with climate change? Why not just refuse to believe any science?
Next time you need a checkup, why not consult your nearest witchdoctor?
"BJ Fan" Good one. How could I miss that? :-)
Aw, you're just upset with the Catholic church since it accepted evolution over creationism.
Too bad your home-boy Bobby never accepted that bit of science either.
Denialism doesn't just apply to climate science. It applies to any facts that don't fall in line with your fringe wacked-out religious beliefs.

The Pope recognized Opus Dei as a personal prelature. This is not arguable. It is not a debatable proposition. It is a statement of fact.
Thank you, for citing the fine catholic universities you mentioned. Further, I went to Catholic schools all the way thru university. AND, not only was I taught evolution (by a nun), but sex education (also by nun) when I was in high school.
There were no holds with what was then called Health; we all called it the sex class. We leaned about all kind of birth control methods, and the pros and cons of all.
Naturally, methods that did not use 'artifical' methods were stressed. But given it was a Catholic school we were well equipped to make the right decisions for our health.
Nitpicking: I would add Holy Cross to your list.
Both Raddave & I explained our Catholic education to you, so you refute both of us by saying that Catholic schools don't teach evolution.
I'm sure that you're wrong.
Really? Because you opened by saying "Catholic schools do not teach evolution".
I don't know anyone who attended Catholic school who was taught that. Not in my lifetime.
"Human stewardship of the created world is precisely a stewardship exercised by way of participation in the divine rule and is always subject to it. Human beings exercise this stewardship by gaining scientific understanding of the universe, by caring responsibly for the natural world (including animals and the environment), and by guarding their own biological integrity.
-emphasis added
Why you hate the Vatican so much?
The Bible is a cook book?
"The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man's dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet — it's yours. That's our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and wet bars — that's the Biblical view."
Good luck with that.

Stewardship of the earth is a paramount Christian value.
Leave science to the scientists. The church has nothing to say related to science - it has a long history of denying it.

Oh no! DENVER?! OUR CONSPIRACY IS COLLAPSING AROUND US! NOT DENVER! Did he include the scare-quotes when he made this super-authoritative pronouncement? How are they pronounced?
...what does the All-Powerful Archbishop of Denver [horses whinnying] think about homosexuality, there, friend?
Nevermind. These idiots can't even argue with any skill or thought whatsoever, so I'll do it for ya...
Here ya go! Churchies disputing Global Warming...
Of course, they also believe all of that Catholicism crap, so what the hell do they know about science?
The Catholic Church didn't want to admit that the world was round either. Shocking.
Churchies believing in Global Warming
Cardinal Renato Raffaele Martino, head of the Pontifical Council of Justice and Peace, said:
Pope Benedict:
That is OFFICIAL Church doctring Mr Opus Dei.
The Pope's favorite team is Bayern Munich. Does this mean all Catholics must be Bayern Munich fans? I respectfully disagree with the Holy Father on the "global warming" issue.
There you go. . . a catholic cardinal affirming the theological reason to believe in global warming and to safeguard the environment.
You realize this is Protestant doctrine, contradicted by the Church, right? Or does it go in the "not policy" pile, like everything else about Catholicism that doesn't fit your sociopathic, money-worshipping Randbot worldview?
God gave me a mind and I use it. This is how I know "global warming" is a fraud, a canard, a hoax, and a scam.
Unless the subject is homosexuality, a woman's place, evolution, or any policy enacted by a Republican president.
If you used it just a little more, you'd realize those words are all synonyms and you're presenting them as different things. Get a better brain, moran.
A woman's place? A woman's place is in the House - The White House. That is where President Palin will be in 35 months.
You're not a very good Bobby Jindal fan.
In John 14:6, Jesus says: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
But, before that (John 14:2) he said: "In my Father's house are many mansions"
Standard stuff for anyone who supports the equal merit of different faiths/sects. Sounds to me like you either didn't read the verse you cited, didn't understand it, or didn't realize there was a left-wing commie pro-life elitist here who can and will check up on your blather.
Here's one for you:
Deuteronomy 18:22 (New Jerusalem Bible version, since you claim to be Catholic) "When a prophet speaks in the name of Yahweh and the thing does not happen and the word is not fulfilled, then it has not been said by Yahweh. The prophet has spoken presumptuously. You have nothing to fear from him."
If even your ideological "allies" fail you by disagreeing, it's not you who are wrong, it is THEY who have been "weakened" or "infiltrated."
Gotta keep your dignity. Remember, keep saying to yourself, everyone's wrong but you. Until you're all alone.
As a non-believer I'm not entitled to an opinion. But I have to say, it is somewhat liberating to not be burdened with either religion.
