On EWTN News Nightly, Brian Patrick interviewing a UN functionary, (or fellow traveler, not sure,) put it to her,
"The UN sees Pope Francis as an ally on the issue of climate change; is anyone hearing his efforts to tie in population control and human trafficking with the climate change issue?"
The sound wasn't working on the TV, so I had to rely on the closed captioning and her body language and a little bit of lip reading, but I'm pretty sure that what she said was,
"That would be a big fat 'no!', Brian, because you're not going to trick me into flouting the party line, those other matters have nothing whatever to do with ecology and you're sure as shootin' not gonna get ME to say anything that could by any stretch be interpreted as not being 110% in favor of getting poor people to stop breeding like rabbits, and killing children in the womb, if need be, because what the Pope says is that 'carbonizing' is one of the seven deadly sin, maybe the worst one, so he, rightly, is MUCH more concerned with 'de-carbonization' that with any silly old stuff about 'human digntiy' which no one is much interested in anyway, at least none of the people I hang with are...."
As I said, I didn't have the sound on, but I'm pretty good at lip reading, and that is the gist of what she said.
