...for the Christian Fundies who think the earth is 5000 years old...

Pope Francis declares evolution and Big Bang theory are right and God isn't 'a magician with a magic wand

[Townsend]

That will change about 0% of minds who believe man and thunder lizards co-existed.

This isn't news
The Catholic church gave sainthood to Darwin long ago

Wouldn't need a wand anyway.

The Pope's Political Platform:

1. Fair immigration policies that welcome the downtrodden to safe and prosperous countries
2. Find a remedy for growing income inequality
3. Governmental support for the poor
4. Not judging gay people or the issue of gay marriage
5. Working towards world peace


Congress' Political Platform:
1. Militarize the border and deport the freeloaders
2. Cut taxes for the wealthy, unzip fly, and "trickle down" on the poor
3. Cut governmental support for the poor
4. Homosexuals are a greater threat than terrorists
5. When in doubt, bomb them


This should be fun.

The term "Cognitive Dissonance" comes to mind.  Congress won't even know how to process the information.

Sort of left out that whole "pro-life"/anti-abortion thing. And that "prayer"/placing God first and foremost stuff also. But otherwise, okay.

Did he get that line from "Miss Congeniality"?

Political platform.  Not resume.
