A conservative Catholic lawmaker announced he will boycott Pope Francis's historic address before Congress next Thursday because of the pope's views on climate change.

"More troubling is the fact that this climate-change talk has adopted all of the socialist talking points, wrapped false science and ideology into 'climate justice' and is being presented to guilt people into leftist policies," wrote Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., in an editorial for the conservative commentary site Townhall.com.

"If the Pope stuck to standard Christian theology, I would be the first in line."

Gosar is the first lawmaker to announce he will boycott the pope's address. A self-described "proud Catholic," who attended a Creighton University, a Jesuit college, Gosar asserts, "The earth's climate has been changing since God created it, with or without man."

The Arizona Republican further takes issue with Pope Francis's encyclical, a 192-page paper released this summer in which the pope calls for new action to combat human-driven climate change...............

3. Fuck him.

He and his teabagging ilk were all about the Papacy when it was Benny or JPII in charge. Now that it's someone the slightest bit progressive he and his ilk are having a fit. Fuck all of them.

4. the face of science denial. looks totally devoid of critical thought.

5. Deny him communion

Protecting creation and caring for the poor should be a couple of the church's "non-negotiables" instead of sex-related matters.

6. I fully support boycotting the pope addressing Congress, but for different reasons.
