How dare they follow the Pope on this! What kind of political message does that send?

Damn, liberal-commie Pope! Look what you’ve done!

Coal Jesus wept.

How dare they take care of God’s creation. How dare they consider the welfare of their fellow man.

What about Mitch McConnell’s donors? What about free enterprise? What about profits?

This is part of the gay agenda.

What? Didn’t they bother to listen to what the Four Coarse-men of the Apo-coal-ypse: Trump, Cruz, Carson, and Jindal had to say.?

I guess all republicans with kids in Notre Dame will pull them out of school!!!

Could be. Notre Dame has always had a well-deserved reputation for being strong academically but also conservative in terms of its message. This is a positive change and I hope it does freak out those Catholic politicians who suddenly (and hypocritically) now question the wisdom and authority of this Pope.

Good. You show SOME sense. Keep making progress with the rest of society and maybe I won’t have to capitalize that next time.
