Saying a few kind words about a recently departed church leader does not a religious discussion make, but let’s please leave it there, before it becomes one.
Thanks for your posts, MOBirders.

I would argue though that the Pope’s stance against birth control may have contributed to population explosions in parts of the world already under severe threat due to climate change, water shortages, loss of habitat, and environmental degradation in general.
Maybe it might best to stay clear of discussions on religion and politics and stick to birds.

We should all reflect on the environmental advocacy of Pope Francis.
His global program to address climate change started in 2017.
And let's celebrate his belief that the children of this world will become educated and resolve its problem.
He was a great example and cheerleader for our planet's health and life.
