Me And Francis the Talking Pope

So question, what do I and Francis the Talking Pope, b/k/a Pope Francis have in common? Neither one of us is a Catholic Christian, from PJ Media [1]:

Francis went on to confess that humans had “sinned against the earth,” and the planet will have its reckoning.

We have failed to care for the earth, our garden-home; we have failed to care for our brothers and sisters. We have sinned against the earth, against our neighbors, and ultimately against the Creator, the benevolent Father who provides for everyone, and desires us to live in communion and flourish together,” he said. “And how does the earth react? There is a Spanish saying that is very clear in this; it says: ‘God forgives always; we men forgive sometimes; the earth never forgives.’ The earth never forgives: if we have despoiled the earth, the response will be very bad.”

Christians can counter the pope, insisting that the earth is not a person against whom a person can sin. The earth is also not a person who can choose not to forgive sins. Pope Francis’s perhaps undue reverence for the earth was not limited to this statement, however.

So question for Pope Francis, as you are not a Catholic, nor even a Christian, what is your religion, if any?
