When challenged the Papal friend and advisor said:
"When the Pope has assumed this, it is Magisterium of the Church whether you like it or not -- it is the Magisterium of the Church just as abortion is a grievous sin - equal (it is the same)... it is Magisterium of the Church... whether you like it or not."No, it isn't it.
Sorondo is a liar. He is either a manipulative deceptive, heresiarch or his is just incredibly stupid. Either way, he is wrong and so are all of those who believe what he does including the Pope himself should this be, in fact, what he thinks.
Besides, who are you all to judge?
Evil clowns. Moronic men. Idiots these churchmen are.

Vatican bishop: Pope’s view on global warming is as authoritative as the condemnation of abortion
ROME, December 18, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – A heated exchange regarding global warming and magisterial teaching between a top Vatican official and various other presenters ended a December 3 Acton Institute conference in Rome. Argentinean Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, a close advisor to Pope Francis and the Chancellor of both the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences stressed that the pope’s declarations on the gravity of global warming as expressed in the encyclical Laudato Si’ are magisterial teaching equivalent to the teaching that abortion is sinful.
Father Joseph Fessio, SJ, the founder of Ignatius Press who obtained his doctorate in theology under Joseph Ratzinger prior to his elevation to the pontificate, told LifeSiteNews, “Neither the pope nor Bishop Sorondo can speak on a matter of science with any binding authority, so to use the word ‘magisterium’ in both cases is equivocal at best, and ignorant in any case.” Fr. Fessio added, “To equate a papal position on abortion with a position on global warming is worse than wrong; it is an embarrassment for the Church.”
