The media and the secular left have a love-hate relationship with the Roman Catholic Church and its popes. When the pope takes positions with which they agree, they applaud him, but when he takes positions with which they disagree, they either ignore or criticize him.
Such is the case with Pope Francis’ encyclical on “climate change.” The Washington Post gave it editorial praise, stating in a front-page headline that it “poses a dilemma for 2016 GOP hopefuls.” Since Francis included abortion along with “climate change” in his argument that the environment and life at all stages has value and is in need of protection, one might ask why the secular left and media don’t think that’s a problem for Democratic presidential hopefuls?
