“Mayhem. That’s the only word to describe what is taking place in the Church today. Remember the archbishop who released a scandalous Vatican sex-ed program at World Youth Day in Krakow?

“President Donald Trump, having already backtracked on several campaign pledges considered important to his populist-conservative base, sparked worry Tuesday he may decline to withdraw from an Obama-era climate change agreement. …Staying in the legally non-binding accord would be an abject betrayal to his supporters,” said Thomas Richard of Climate Change Dispatch, in an email to LifeZette. Richard noted that the accord is the kind of abusive agreement Trump used to bash as a “bad deal.” …But Trump is under pressure from moderate advisers to reconsider ahead of a late-May meeting of the G7.
