Papal verbosity

Having wasted an hour or so reading “Laudato Si”, Pope Francis’s encyclical espousing global warming alarmism, I suggest that Donald Trump consign it to the shredder. He used over 100 pages of meaningless verbiage to lecture on the dangers of this pseudoenvironmental “crisis”.

For a Christian leader whose church is sinking under a tsunami of child abuse, homophobia and financial mismanagement to give such hokum is beyond absurd. REV DR JOHN CAMERON Howard Place, St Andrews
