Francis will undoubtedly discuss the subject in his address to Congress, 30% of whose members – including House Speaker John Boehner, a Republican – are Catholic. Given that several of the leading candidates for the Republican presidential nomination – including Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Bobby Jindal – also are Catholic, Francis’s strong stance on climate change may create a serious political dilemma for some.
好意疑问，方济各将在他的美国国会演讲中讨论这一话题。30%的美国国会议员——包括众议院议长、共和党员约翰·博纳（John Boehner）——是天主教徒。几位领先的共和党总统候选提名人——包括杰布·布什（Jeb Bush）、马可·卢比奥（Marco Rubio）和波比·金达尔（Bobby Jindal）——也是天主教徒，因此，方济各在气候变化问题上的强硬立场可能给一些人带来严重的政治两难。
