He voiced support for president obamas efforts to change the laws on carbon emissions, laws that are officially opposed by republicans. You are proposing an initiative for reducing air pollution. Thatems clear to me also Climate Change is a problem we can no longer which can no longer be left to a future generation. Anchor i am joined on the line but the president of the safe the faith and Reason Institute president line by the of the faith and Reason Institute. You have written a letter to the pope and express your hope that the visit will strengthen christianity in the United States. Do you think it is having that effect so far . I spent most of the day covering the papal speeches. What he said at the white house, as you accurately reflected in was wording reporting half encouraging of christianity and half trying to politicize. He spoke with bishops of the united dates shortly after the United States shortly after the meeting and he made it clear there willcame ina world meeting philadelphia on sunday. He said the defense of life, the defense of the unborn, the defensive family defense of family are his primary reasons for being in america. Anchor this pope has been criticized in the past for being too political. People say he is a little too close on certain issues, Climate Change is close to his heart. He also talks about immigration.

He said before he arrived yesterday that people think i am something of a lefty. He said i am not. If you really look at my record, if you report on the accurately, you will see there is a balance. It is true that he is firm on catholic teachings about abortion, about gay rights, about marriage is between one man and one woman. When he is talking about these standard these policy questions, he uses the vatican. Usually, folks talk in more general terms, such as the need to defend nature. The need to welcome the stranger, the orphan, the widow. He has taken strong and sometimes radical positions about the environment, and he does that with a great deal of specificity. Anchor just one more point before we run out of time. Taken on what you describe as threats to religious liberty in the United States. Some say that religious liberty for some is an infringement on the rights of others. How do you think he will tread that tricky line . The United States is unusual in that our system is built on religious liberty. Our declaration of independence, which separated us from england, affirms that men are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. So, our rights as we understand them are not like the french revolution. Without our rights came of we rights came out of christianity. The Obama Administration has tended to take gay rights, to speak about this bluntly, and also abortion rights as somehow prior to our first amendment, which guarantees religious liberty. Our system has in place symbols principles to find accommodations for everyone so that everyone can be respected and have a certain amount of liberty of conscience. To this point, our legal system or political system has not found that accommodation. Anchor thank you very much indeed.
