Meet the Newest Anti-Fracking Activist: Pope Francis

Pope Francis created quite a stir this week after he posed for photographs holding up anti-fracking t-shirts following a meeting with a group of Argentinian environmental activists to discuss water and fracking issues.  The shirts read “No To Fracking” and “Water Is More Precious Than Gold.”

Pope Francis reportedly told the Argentinian group “he is preparing an encyclical — a letter addressing a part of Catholic doctrine — about nature, humans, and environmental pollution,” Foreign Policy reported.
