Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum said this week that he was a “huge fan” of Pope Francis but that the pontiff should stop buying into the global warming debate and, instead, “leave the science to the scientists.”
During a Monday interview with WPHT, host Dom Giordano noted that Pope Francis was expected to urge lawmakers to take action on climate change when he visits the U.S. later this year.
According to Santorum, who is Catholic, the liberal media had been misrepresenting the pope as less conservative that he really was.
“He’s someone who is as committed to the nuclear family as I am,” the former Pennsylvania senator opined. “I’m a huge fan of his and his focus on making sure that we have a healthier society.”
“I understand and I sympathize and I support completely the pope’s call for us to do more to create opportunities for people to be able to rise in society, and to care for the poor,” he continued.
But when it came to a responsibility to care for the planet, Santorum advised the church to proceed with caution.
“The church has gotten it wrong a few times on science, and I think that we probably are better off leaving science to the scientists,” the candidate insisted.
Instead, Santorum encouraged the church to focus on “what we’re really good at, which is theology and morality.”
“I think when we get involved with controversial political and scientific theories, then I think the church is probably not as forceful and credible,” he remarked. “And I’ve said this to the bishops many times when they get involved in agriculture policy or things like that, that are really outside of the scope of what the church’s main message is.”
According to Santorum, who is Catholic, the liberal media had been misrepresenting the pope as less conservative that he really was.

Considering the Pope hgas a Masters in Chemistry I think he has more knowledge of scince than Santorum
You may have heard that the new pope, Argentinian Jorge Mario Bergoglio, is the first South American pope and the first to be called Francis. Did you know he is also the first chemist pope?
According to Scientific American, Pope Francis has a master's degree in chemistry. Although there have been numerous prominent Jesuit scientists through the ages, this is the first time one with a background specifically in chemistry has been chosen to lead the Catholic Church.

It will be interesting to hear his opinions on scientific topics, particularly those that have been debated by the Church for hundreds of years. Do you have any expectations or ideas about what Pope Francis might have to say regarding science or how having a chemist as a pope might affect Vatican policy?
I'm reminded of that time early in Obama's first term when he ordered two pirates holding hostages killed by snipers and Rush Limbaugh took it upon himself to see justice done for those poor Muslim teenagers because he believed that America couldn't be allowed to do as we please on the world stage and that the president has to be held accountable

Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

Oh frothy discharge! Just can't seem to not make an asshole out of itself. Probably because that's where it resides. Next it will say it's not really sexual assault if you're Christian, they are girls who are related to you, you're under whatever convenient age it picks to further mitigate flat out sexual assault against minors under the age of 14, and that the numerous incidents (and I still firmly believe that Paternity tests should be forced to be performed on all of the Duggar children mothered by his female siblings he was older than and strong enough to full on genitally penetrate) are all forgiven because he told his church. And the pigs for some odd reason dragged their feet "investigating" the case until the motherfucking outrageous THREE YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS expired. But thank Christ frothy discharge has a new crazy ass "Quiverfull Family" with 19 shits with a new TV show called 'Bringing Up Bates'.
And as far as Pope "punch them in the face if they insult your faith" Francis is concerned, at least he can be a pretty rad meth cook in South America if this whole "High Sparrow" thing doesn't work out for him.
