I love how everything religious is mocked and derided. And many on this board and elsewhere have been more than willing to bring up how wrong the Catholic Church has been for over 500 years in regards to science. (certainly deserved criticism in all too many cases).
But as soon as the Pontiff says he's for action on global warming, all of a sudden he's a RESPECTED AUTHORITY FIGURE by secularists and leftists. 
The fact that the cognitive dissonance isn't even noticed is absolutely freaking hilarious! 

I'm surprised that you embrace exactly the same kind of political strawmanning you call others out on, Logan. 

So, it's okay for liberals to accuse conservatives of hypocrisy, but not for conservatives to call out liberal hypocrisy, apparently. Nice to know. I'll have to keep that in mind.

I was, in fact, referring to the overgeneralization regarding attitudes toward religion, which is about as strawman as you can get, especially in regards to attitudes about Catholicism. 
The fact that you somehow drew some kind of accusation of hypocrisy from that says far more about you than it does about anything I said.
