It seems to me that the influence of the head of a religious minority on the political and economic decisions of the free world is grossly overestimated.
His willingness to do something actually good is overestimated even more :)
We need every reasonably large group on board, so Catholic support for doing the right thing is something I'll welcome.
Are you calling Catholicism a "religious minority" lmao. Tell me you are USian without telling me you are USian.
Sorry for having mistold you, but I'm German. Last year, our proportion of Catholics was 23.7% - and less than 50% of the population are of any Christian confession anymore.
So the impact of Chinese climate policy is also vastly overestimated because the Chinese are a small minority of earths people?
Very american of you to think your country represents the other 6 billion humans too.
There are roughly 1.3 billion Catholics around the world. I hope you understand that 1.3 is less than 50% of 6.
Very German of you to think 1/5 is a minority lmao
You're trolling, right? You're not really this stupid, it's an act?
Last time I checked, the meaning of “minority” was “less than the larger group” (which is non-Catholics).
