Did he give this speech from his solid gold throne?
Pope Leo on Saturday called out companies who seek “dizzying” profits at the cost of environmental pollution, on a visit to an area in Italy known as a hotbed for illegal dumping of toxic waste.
On a visit to Acerra, about 220 km (137 miles) south of Rome, the first U.S. pope urged the world to “reject temptations of power and enrichment linked to practices that pollute the land, water, air, and social coexistence.”
Cool.
Now maybe get this gung ho about purging the child rapists in your church, Leo.
Says the guy leading a cult worth $75B that pays no taxes worldwide.
Kind of besides the point, it’s still good that the figurehead of the world’s largest religion is calling this stuff out. I’m not endorsing religion but it sets a good precedent at least.
No one here can be happy about anything. Like the church definitely has major issues but like you said, just take the win.
Everyone here seems like they want to be miserable all the time.
But the internet taught me that being cynical is cool! It’s all I know!
Are they a major source of pollution like the companies are though?
I think religions are stupid too, and especially the Catholic Church with their Trump-ish gold sprinkled everywhere. But the guy is like the OG influencer – people listen to him. So I say let him talk.
Is it really only 75B? I could do better if I didn’t have to pay taxes.
I mean why would they pay taxes if they’re not a money-making enterprise?
Sarcastic right.
Right, how about liquidate the Vatican
