IS POPE FRANCIS WEARING BLINDERS OR A MUZZLE?


I really like Pope Francis.
I am encouraged 
And inspired by his kindness
,
His apparent authenticity,
And his courage.
His niceness.


But is Pope Francis being honest?

Does he realize that it seems
Hypocritical
When he speaks so sincerely,
And urgently
About climate change,
While insisting that Catholics
Must not use birth control?

Billions of new mouths to feed,
Unwanted babies,
More demands for food and water.
And land,
A need for more energy,
More buildings,
More cars.

Is Pope Francis wearing blinders
Or is he being muzzled?
