Sen. Jim Inhofe Besmirches Pope Francis
The attack on Christians is coming from the right, not the left.
In an interview yesterday on the Family Research Council’s “Washington Watch” program, Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., railed against Pope Francis and other Christian leaders who have addressed the human influence on climate change.
Inhofe told FRC President Tony Perkins that the pope’s recent encyclical on climate science will encourage other Christian leaders to come “out of the closet” to “tell the truth” about climate change. Of course, “the truth,” according to Inhofe, is that climate change is a myth: “The science is still out on what effect CO2 might have in terms of what they call global warming and the science is more on our side than on their side.”
The Republican senator maintained that the Bible prophesied the pope’s climate change encyclical.
“We were warned this was going to happen,” Inhofe said. “Romans 1:25 said there would be a time when people would start worshiping the creation instead of the Creator, and that exactly is what’s been going on, the trend that has been going on today. The interesting thing is that all of those people on the other side are the extreme liberals that are against everything that you and I stand for. This is a highly political environment we’re in right now that should not have been brought into the Catholic Church or any other church.”

“Inhofe besmirches the Pope.” He does that by talking about him.

There’s nothing more I detest that the lies of a liar. Inhofe uses the Bible to justify ignoring scientific research on climate change. While trying to place a gag over Pope Francis’s mouth, he thinks that although he’s not a scientist or a religious scholar, he has the right to weigh in and be viewed as credible on scientific research on climate change, and on the role church officials should play in the debate. He thinks entirely too much of himself and his abilities.

Former Insurance Exec Besmirches Religious Leader With Science Degree.
The late, great Bartcop, a natove Oklahoman, used to refer to Inhofe as “Senator Pissquick.”

couldn’t happen to a nicer person.

The regressives refuse to acknowledge that the Pope is addressing this from a moral prespective, not political or economic. At the same time he welcomes religious interference in politics from slime like Tony Perkins. Another cafeteria christian.

Honestly, how often do you see “besmirch” in a headline anywhere? Way to keep the language alive, Alan!
