Barbara Boxer and Father Sirico Climate Hearing
During a Senate Environment and Public Works Committee hearing, Barbara Boxer clashed with Father Robert Sirico of the Acton Institute. Boxer criticized the inclusion of a "philosopher" in a scientific discussion and used Pope Francis's comments on inequality to challenge the witnesses' free-market views. Sirico responded by accusing the committee of cherry-picking the Pope's non-magisterial statements.
