Earlier this month, before the pope’s encyclical on the environment, Republican presidential-hopeful Rick Santorum said that the pope should leave the science to the scientists.
Well, Rick, Pope Francis actually is a scientist. He’s previously worked as a chemist, according to NPR.
On Thursday, the pontiff called for a radical transformation of environmental practices to confront climate change. He blamed “apathy, the reckless pursuit of profits, excessive faith in technology and political shortsightedness’’ in his 184-page encyclical.
He sums it all up well in his sassy-yet-straightforward tweet.
