And what are the “here and now” “decisive actions” the pope called for? Chief among them is the necessity for all nations of the world to submit to international bodies with binding legislative powers to protect rainforests, oceans and endangered species, as well as to promote sustainable agriculture (LS 53, 173-175).

Parting shot—a word from the editors
The Best Definition of Donald Trump We Have Found
In his zeal to prove to his antagonists in the War Party that he is as bloodthirsty as their champion, Hillary Clinton, and more manly than Barack Obama, Trump seems to have gone “play-crazy” -- acting like an unpredictable maniac in order to terrorize the Russians into forcing some kind of dramatic concessions from their Syrian allies, or risk Armageddon.However, the “play-crazy” gambit can only work when the leader is, in real life, a disciplined and intelligent actor, who knows precisely what actual boundaries must not be crossed. That ain’t Donald Trump -- a pitifully shallow and ill-disciplined man, emotionally handicapped by obscene privilege and cognitively crippled by white American chauvinism. By pushing Trump into a corner and demanding that he display his most bellicose self, or be ceaselessly mocked as a “puppet” and minion of Russia, a lesser power, the War Party and its media and clandestine services have created a perfect storm of mayhem that may consume us all.— Glen Ford, Editor in Chief, Black Agenda Report
Agree 100% with P Walker’s POV. The Democrats cannot be trusted with this or any major issue that affects Wall Street negatively, and we know where the Lords of the Universe stand in regard to the planet’s environment.
However, as usual, the great obstruction is the mass of manipulable idiots calling themselves liberals who never dare question (nor does it occur to them despite numerous instances of betrayal that should alarm them) the official script handed down to them via the presstitutes. Abomonable humanity, if you ask me, and I haven’t even begun to sound misanthropic!

I’m in accord with the author, the main commenter, Mr Walker, and the prior commenter.
The Democrats should be flogged out of the temple of American politics, and thrown in dungeons for corruption and sheer criminality. And the temple should be razed. Enough of the nonsense.
The Pope, despite his $5000 robes has no clothes…. He is a fraud who tells us that destroying God’s creation is a sin, as he dines on a fine veal dinner on his visit to NYC: Medaglioni di Vitello alla Boscaiola (Veal medallions ‘Boscaiola’, porcini, corn, fresh tomato In his youth Pope Francis aspired to be a butcher: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/europe/I-wanted-to-be-butcher-says-Pope-Francis/articleshow/50404333.cms Some say he still is. With these words Pope Francis condemns billions of animals to justifiable violence: “Each of the various creatures, willed in its own being, reflects in its own way a ray of God’s infinite wisdom and goodness.

It is inconceivable to me that a progressive journal can present the pope as a voice for progress. He represents one of the most oppressive regimes on earth…. the vatican, where disobedience is the ultimate sine, where those who do not accept jesus are condemned to eternal damnation….
