“Popular Pope Francis is certain to enhance his moral authority and celebrity status with an encyclical that offers the greatest moral validation to the deep green-progressive stance on global climate change, inequality and the immorality of market-based economics.
This is an astonishing document. Page after page reveals Francis and his advisers as environmental populists and economic ideologues of a quasi-Marxist bent. The language is vivid, almost hysterical. Profound intellectual ignorance is dressed up as honouring God. Forget the apologies that play down the historic import of this encyclical.”
