oped: Yes indeed the Vatican elected the proverbial 'Last Pope" I left the church decades ago...no longer a practicing Catholic...I still adhere to the old teachings as a Independant Christian with no church affiliation...way too many scandals and rediculous policies!
This also applies to my being a Independant Conservative no affiliation with GOP/DNC
Based on a Google translation of the document, here’s what you need to know about what the draft says.
1) Global warming is real
While the document largely focuses on theology and morality, it does go headlong into the science of the causes and impacts of climate change. The draft document says there is a scientific consensus that the climate is warming because of human actions, and that it is reflected in rising sea levels and increasing extreme weather events. The document even goes further into specific consequences of climate change on biodiversity and marine life, among others.

2) Fossil fuels are a problem
The encyclical states that fossil fuels, such as oil and to a lesser extent natural gas, should be phased out without delay in favor of renewable energy. While renewable power is built up, the encyclical says, it is permissible to rely on fossil fuels, but that overall, the extraction and burning of oil and gas is evil. The document further calls for countries to adopt policies that will reduce emissions of carbon dioxides and other gases.
