In mid-September, Pope Francis will visit the United States to address the United Nations General Assembly Address in New York and speak before a joint session of Congress.
There is little doubt that the Pontiff will take the opportunity to amplify his recent controversial remarks about capitalism and further explain his “eco-encyclical,” which to many environmental activists is the most exciting news to come from organized religion since Moses carried the Ten Commandments.
For many non-believers who ignore the basic tenants of the faith, the Pope’s views on these issues coupled with the media’s interpretation of them, have made him a “rock star.” Al Gore went so far as to proclaim the Pope’s views on global warming could make him convert to Catholicism.
