“Pope Francis seems to be bent on proving Ted Cruz right that the cause of global warming is based more on religion than science. The pope is set to demand that the people of the Earth make changes in lifestyle and energy consumption to deal with the alleged threat, using the language of religion rather than science.
“Back in March, Ted Cruz, a senator from Texas and candidate for president of the United States, said, referring to the rhetoric by believers in global warming, “And the language of denial is revealing because one usually hears of deniers in the religious context, dealing with heretics. And much of the global warming hysteria is pushed forth as a religious truth that no facts can dare contravene.”
“But, Republicans who are eyeing the White House are caught between two political blasphemies: angering the conservative base and disagreeing with a very popular Pope. The pontiff released a highly anticipated papal document on climate change and the environment on Thursday, calling the fight against global warming a moral imperative and “one of the principal challenges of humanity.”
“However, Cruz, who is widely known to resist the notion of climate change, also said earlier this year: “The satellite data demonstrate that there has been no significant warming whatsoever for 17 years.” He also added that he agrees with fellow Republican Jeb Bush about the Pope needing to stay out of politics and focus more on religious issues.
“It just wasn’t meant to work as a two-way street,” Cruz said. “Religion is one thing; it’s very important to people and is at the core of essential human beliefs. On the other hand, politics is just as important, but is diametrically opposite. The two have nothing in common. What’s more, the world is in enough trouble as it is without the head of one of the largest religions on the planet meddling in business he’s not supposed to.”
And then came the bombshell: “I really think the Vatican ought to reconsider keeping Francis as the Pope in the future. I really don’t know how that whole papal thing works, but if they have the ability to fire him or something, they should put some serious though into that option. Otherwise, at the rate he’s going, he might even decide to run in the 2016 U.S. presidential election,” Cruz concluded.

So tough to tell if this is a Poe or not.

Uhhh, is he talking about Catholicism or Evangelicalism? Cause someone really needs to tell Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, the late Jerry Falwell, Ted his own self, his daddy Rafael, AND the entirety of the Religious Right for about the last 40 years. Ted, thy name is HYPOCRITE!
We need BERNIE SANDERS for President! He is the ONLY candidate who will work for the middle class! Please sign and share my petition to help him win the Democratic nomination over Hillary (the Wall Street backed crook) Clinton! https://www.change.org/p/democratic-national-committee-debbie-wasserman-schultz-give-senator-bernie-sanders-a-fair-chance-by-increasing-number-of-sanctioned-debates
At this point I’d vote for the pope over teddy.
Mr. Cruz, your ignorance is showing. First of all, a Pope can’t be fired. Secondly, Pope Francis majored in chemistry when he went to university and I am sure he knows more about science than you do. Lastly., Pope Francis practices what he preaches, kindness, understanding and caring.
I find it terrifying that someone with Ted Cruz;s obviously stunted intellect and cognitive ability is actually sitting in the United States Senate. This is not an issue of party, it is an issue of basic competence. From everything this man has said from before his Senate run until now, I have to wonder if perhaps aliens have gotten one of their own in the Senate. And I don’r mean people from other nations. Cruz and his intellectual ability are pretty clear proof he is from another planet and somehow suffered serious brain damage when his UFO crashed. I can’t think of any other explanation. No human being could be that dense and incapable of clear though and critical assessment. This man having ANY role in public life scares the crap out of me. Someone please tell me he is putting us on with some of this. No one can be this dense.
I have to laugh at you all. This is Newslo. It’s satirical site. Click on Show Facts and you will see actual facts highlighted.
Fuck you Cruz you are lower than dog shit.
Cruz is a scary, Dude.
The two have nothing in common says the man whose father anointed him as some sort of fucking “king” of who the fuck knows what. A man who wants to turn this country into a damn theocracy. I am getting tired of these fucking pipsqueaks bashing my Pope. May God bless Pope Francis. And he may be our Pope until HE considers retiring or passes away. Fuck you Cruz. Go to hell.
He’s running on the ‘Jesus is my homie’ ticket. got it.
Just when you think there might be a break in the idiocy . . .No such luck.
WOW JUST WHEN YOU THINK TED COULDN’T BE A BIGGER DOUCHEBAG.
Newslo, The First Ever Hybrid News/Satire Platform!
Ted Cruz did not say any such thing and anyone with an ounce of intelligence would be suspicious of this article. It is a SATIRE site people!
Alan Dershowitz said that Ted Cruz is the most brilliant student he has ever had at Harvard Law – do you really think he would be stupid enough to talk this way?
You can’t believe everything you read online!
The world would be a far better place if Senators stayed out of politics
The joke is on all you who are foaming at the mouth… It’s fricking satire…
I’d like to quote Fr. Rutler who wrote in Crisis Magazine: “Saint Peter, from his fishing days, had enough hydrometeorology to know that he could not walk on water. Then the eternal Logos told him to do it, and he did, until he mixed up the sciences of heaven and earth and began to sink.”
And 38 people just showed how stupid they are to not recognize that this is satire, as in fake, not real….
Before you are surprised by the right wing religious zealot hypocrite’s who are all republican you should remember some history. When America was founded & for decades after the white christian’s who controlled it even then not only hated the “real” Americans called Indians they hated all Catholic’s & blacks even more. (So few Jewish people in the early days they were not involved for a change) The KKK hated the black people, the Jewish & the Catholic’s but “most” white people hated white Catholics’ long before the KKK. The bottom line here is as they always say, you can’t know the future until you know about the past (History) and that past has been at the forefront of these outburst’s of hate for Pope Frankie. The Home schooled, shite religious fundamentalist un-educated ignorant bigoted christians hate the Pope as much as the hate the NAACP. At the end of the day, the “Base” of the American Taliban hates all poor, all Blacks, Hispanics, Jews, educated people, thinking people etc. That all means they can trash Pope Frankie & their so called base will love them for it.
Sorry Ted, but most of us Catholics love this pope!
I don’t care what they argue about,as long as they don’t implement “new world order.”
You morons who are commenting on Cruz are apparently even bigger idiots than he is. It’s NEWSLO, dumbasses.
So if Ted thinks that the Pope should be fired because he is commenting on Global Warming and he’s a religious leader, maybe we should fire Cruz because he is commenting on religious matters and he’s just a politician. He should follow his own lead.
It is a satirical piece. It’s just me but I have found that it is usually beneficial to actually read the article. Just saying
FIRE THE POPE HE IS NEW WORLD ORDER EVIL
GOOD LUCK IDIOT……
It would be nice if the “Anointed One” would take his own advice – Stay out of religion and do your freaking job.
can i get a reference to where this was said and when etc? I’d like some verification before i share it. One thing i despise about fox is that they invent “facts” and then diseminate them as if they were real so i want to make sure that if i share this that i can back it up. thanks.
He is not a christian thats why,he is a roman and catholic,hahaha,they do things different from true christianity.
so he wants the Pope to fire the Pope? He wants, he wants, he wants…..
This Pope has adbanced degrees adn training in science Ted is supposed to have a law degree but he sure doesnt act like he has one. He has broken teh law adn the constitution daily. Ted Cruz should keep his nose out of religion adn out of science neither of which he has no knowledge of. I still firmly beleive it is unconstititutionlaand unlawful for Ted cruz to be running for POTUS, yet being in the senate as well. When Cruz took his senate oath of office he was still legally a canadian citizen which invalidates his being a senator. Cruz as oer teh US Constitution of which Cruz brags ke knows all about is not native born in the USA. Ted was born in Calgary Canada his father cuban adn his mother scottish or irish either way she was not a US Citizen at the time of his borth nor was his father. Ted has stated he wants to assisinate teh leader of Iran adn he has spoken badly about the Pope and has embarrassed the US diplomatically. You can be for sure that by now the leader of Iran has a contract out on Ted Cruz’s head.. If The Iranians do not take Cruz out some angry gay person called Dorothy will drop a house on him and his bitch dog Kim too.
