Pope Francis called for dialogue in front of nearly one million people at an outdoor mass in Ecuador's capital, before launching an appeal for better care of the Amazon. The pope addressed over 900,000 faithful who braved the cold and rain to hear his homily in Bicentennial Park, Quito -- a city recently rocked by anti-government protests. Read full article

How about backing birth control then? That would help the human race to resist the urge to flatten the rain forest so that new farms can feed the ever increasing population fueled by Catholic rabbits?

And what about apologising for genocide of innocent indiginous peoples in SA?

Nearly i million nutjobs that “believe” in an old beardy guy that lives on a cloud? Anyone seen “him”? Thought not.

SoAms just want to believe that they are “select”. Indeed they are. Selected to be the dross of the planet. Brazil “selected” to commit more murders per year than any civilised country. Colombia “selected” to move more narcotics than any other country. Ecuador “selected” to have no respect for its people or world civilisation. Argieland “selected” to demonstrate how NOT to run an economy, how to lie 24/7, how to be corrupt, criminal and degenerate, how to “believe” it's of relevance to the world. Uruguay “selected” to be pointless. Venezuela “selected” to “elect” a cretin, how to destroy a “country”, how to attempt thievery from other countries.

“ Francis focused his message on “our revolution,” the need to spread the Roman Catholic faith.”

Yes, he is desperately trying to stop the fall in RCC takings due to education starting to set people free to think for themselves and they don't like what the new reality shows them. GOOD.

Wake up to reality you idiot!

Your life is what YOU make of it, stop relying that some paedophiles in dresses are going to 'help' you in anyway.

Well this guy has ideas whether you like them or not and I suspect they are not to the like of the Roman Curia. Compare that with Islam who have no ideas on modern problems at all and revert to beheading innocents as a solution.
I am an not a Catholic but an agnostic.

“El desarrollo de la diplomacia debe evitar la confrontación y ayudar a diálogo. Y estoy pensando acá, en el mar. Diálogo, diálogo. Es indispensable”,

“There the pope called for ”reasonable and fair“ solutions to conflicts ”between fraternal peoples,“ in a clear allusion to the ongoing dispute between Bolivia and Chile over ocean access”
