But that does not mean that he cannot misstep in matters outside of \u201cfaith and morals\u201d or sin like the rest of us. And thus, the Holy Father is not immune to criticism:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><b>Now, apart from faith (doctrine contained in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, and articulated by the Magisterium) and morals (what is \u201cgood\u201d over what is \u201cbad\u201d), the Pope may remain tacit or not choose to emphasize this or that issue pertaining to ethics (what is \u201cright\u201d over what is \u201cwrong\u201d), and this, sometimes on account of socio-political motives. Now, in answer to the question of whether one may be critical of the Pope in the arena of ethics, so long as one, in being critical of his advice, never loses sight of the fact that he is the Vicar of Christ on earth who possesses the charism of infallibility on matters <i>ex cathedra<\/i> pertaining to faith and morals, and whose non <i>ex cathedra<\/i> teachings on faith and morals are to be respected, it remains one\u2019s <\/b><b>prerogative to be so.<\/b> \u2014Rev.

Has he simply taken as fact what those, whom he has presumed are of good will, have told him is infallible science?<\/p>\n<p>Reading various news websites and forums, it is clear that many Catholics think that the Pope controls and is aware of absolutely every aspect of the <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"right\" style=\"float: right; margin: 1px 2px 1px 2px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/vatican-city-europe-650x4311_Fotor1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"291\" height=\"193\" data-position=\"3\" \/>Vatican Secretariat and Curia\u2014the respective political and religious governing bodies of the Vatican. Not only is this absurd, but it is impossible. The number of departments and personnel means that the Holy Father must rely on the advice and co-operation of the Cardinals and staff who work with him. And as we\u2019ve seen time and again, particularly in Benedict XVI\u2019s reign, those assistants cannot always be trusted (and I haven\u2019t even said anything yet about the credible allegations that Freemasonry and Communists have infiltrated the Vatican.)<\/p>\n<p>The claims against Pope Francis, made by not a few \u201cconservative\u201d Catholics and subtly propagated in some Catholic news outlets, boils down to this: because they <i>rightly<\/i> perceive the general confusion in the Church, they <i>wrongly<\/i> conclude that the Pope is, therefore, expressly complicit. This is a <i>judgment.<\/i> It is so for the very reason that we do not know his heart, nor what his advisors have told him, nor what he fully knows about what is going on around him in secular affairs. In fact, it is my personal opinion that the Holy Father is not as tuned into current affairs as many presume, and here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n<p>He was once a night club bouncer, and after becoming a priest, preferred to spend most of his time among the <i>anawim, <\/i>the poor and needy. As a result, it is possible that Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now Pope <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"left\" style=\"float: left; margin: 2px 5px 2px 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/pfr_Fotor1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"264\" height=\"328\" data-position=\"3\" \/>Francis, is as simple in some ways as the fisherman he succeeds. At least, he seems to have suggested this himself. He speaks and reads very little English (and hence, his understanding of Western culture has to be very limited). He admitted that he does not use the internet or watch much television. He said he reads only one Italian newspaper and that he is not an expert on political or economic matters. And recently, it was stated that the Pope was completely unaware that his comment, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markmallett.com\/blog\/2014\/03\/17\/who-am-i-to-judge\/\">\u201cWho am I to judge?\u201d<\/a> had created such an uproar\u2014which itself indicates how much the Holy Father follows the media that you and I read. And this may be more important than we realize, as the debate on \u201cglobal warming\u201d is mostly confined to the Western media.<\/p>\n<p>This is all to say that Pope Francis, in his genuine concern for the real economic and resource imbalances in the world and the real damage we are doing to the environment, has accepted as scientific fact that which may not be.
