The Washington Post last month enthused that Pope Francis's environmental encyclical was a "papal juggernaut" that had rolled over opponents of the global warming hypothesis. The "deniers" of climate change were defeated in this quite imaginative narrative. But now, weeks later, the somewhat reasonable observer wonders whether the huge agitational propaganda effort by the secular Left was all for naught. Over the weekend, for the second week in a row, at a Roman Catholic church in suburban Chicago, the local pastor chose to publish highlights of the Pope's exegesis on the environment and Genesis 1, and man's duty to the Earth, in the weekly church bulletin. The highlights were drawn from America, the Jesuit news outlet.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_pope_crowd.jpg
