Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum says he loves Pope Francis, but he wants the pontiff to stop talking about climate change.

Santorum, a devout Catholic, told Philadelphia radio host Dom Giordano on Monday that the pope should "leave science to the scientists."

His comments come as the pope becomes increasingly vocal about climate change and is expected to release a groundbreaking encyclical on the environment in the coming weeks.

Santorum described himself as a "huge fan" of the pope and said he appreciates the pontiff's commitment to family issues, but he wants the church to stay out of science.

1. I thoroughly agree

"leave science to the scientists" 97% of whom (measured in several ways) agree climate change is real.

Can we keep the non-scientists out?

2. the pope has a maters degree in chemistry

[Bluenorthwest]

3. No he does not. His education in chemistry was at the secondary level, grades 7-12 US style

Long way from a Master's Degree.

6. well that's what the article says

His comments come as the pope, who earned a master's degree in chemistry before turning to the priesthood, becomes increasingly vocal about climate change. Pope Francis is preparing a groundbreaking encyclical to be released in the coming weeks that's expected to make the case that taking action to fight climate change is a moral and religious imperative.

7. also from forbes: Pope Francis, Scientist

Accordingly, it was interesting to me to the newest Pope, Pope Francis, isn’t just a cleric. He’s also a scientist.

Or at least, he was. When Jorge Mario Bergoglio was a young man, he graduated from technical school as a Chemical Technician. He then earned his Masters Degree in chemistry from the University of Buenos Aries. It was only after that that he decided to become a priest.

9. Yes, he is.

I was actually referring to people like Santorum and Monckton who have no background in science.

But, I didn't express myself very well.

My apologies.

[Romeo.lima333]

10. no need to apologize - it was just a friendly fyi

[SwissTony]

11. Thanks. I realised this but I was just a bit annoyed with my own formulation.

Edited because the singular nominative pronoun should be a capital letter. I have no problem with others making simple mistakes, but when I do it...

4. Anyone with common sense and critical thinking skills ...

... can do no other but to speak out regarding our current bout
of human caused warming and climate chaos.

It would be unconscionable not to do so.

5. Yes, leave science to the scientists that Ricky doesn't believe or want to listen to, either.

12. Transalation. You are upsetting my corporate handlers. nt
