Bill Maher praised Pope Francis' views on climate change on "Real Time" Friday night.

While admitting to have "mixed feelings" about the pope, the host did appreciate his views on this particular topic, especially in contrast to those held by many Republican representatives in Congress.

"I think it's just awesome that this pope took on this issue," Maher said. "I love that Boehner invited him to talk to Congress, and there he was the Grandmaster Flash of crazy non-evidentiary nonsense, lecturing the Republicans on reality."

Elsewhere in the episode, Maher discussed British Prime Minister David Cameron, Kim Davis and Josh Duggar.
