Global warming is a religion. We have been much warmer in the past (the Medieval Warm Period), and much colder (the Little Ice Age). We are actually in between the last cold period and the normal high right now.
But that isn't looked at. For the models to work as they do, they are not plugging the past trends in. Nor are they looking at the increase in solar energy (which should be declining soon). It isn't science. It is a faith, complete with it's own inquisition and heresy trials.

Sandeggo--
Sounds eerily similar to the plot of "Father Elijah" by Michael O'Brien, no? The whole package being the One World Religion movement. We have "spoken" of the impact of this book several times by Freepmail. I hope more Catholic readers will pick it up and be enlightened and horrified simultaneously. O'Brien also has it pegged.

The cardinal said he believes that this is "the danger that Christians face in our days
the Son of God cannot be reduced to a series of good projects sanctioned by the prevailing worldly mentality." Sounds like liberal protestant theology....

What a find! That image is what haunts me still! I need to get another copy. I lent it out and never got it back. To think that it is sitting on a bookshelf gathering dust because someone "could not get into it" is too much to bear.
Thanks!

Oh come on. St. Francis did love animals. There is way too much evidence for that, He was not however a worshiper of "Mother Earth".

St. Francis loved animals as God's creatures and often used animals as examples - for example, the lamb was the example of innocence and humility, the birds cared not for possessions and sang God's praise, etc. There is a lovely statue of him at Santa Maria degli Angeli in Assisi, standing with a kneeling lamb at his his side. This refers to a story where someone gave him a lamb that followed him around and, when it came into church with him, knelt at the Elevation of the Host.
I think what people here are saying is that St. Francis wasn't the type who'd be out buying a rhinestone-studded raincoat for his dog or feeding his cat hand-chopped filet mignon. He loved animals, but in their place, as animals and God's creatures.

Good book, and one I have recommended or bought for a few people.

Sounds like liberal protestant theology.... Strike the "protestant" ... actually, it's the essence of the so-called "liberation theology", which was little more than repackaged Marxism, and which Pope John Paul II condemned.

"He will convoke an ecumenical council and will seek the consensus of all the Christian confessions, granting something to each one. The masses will follow him, with the exception of small groups of Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants," he said." I take it the latter group must be us Freepers Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants. :O)
I agree with the Cardinal although I'm not convinced the "Anti-Christ" will be a person per se. We're seeing this movement now, not by an individual but by a group of people.

Have your read "Man Of Sin" by Kim Riddlebarger?
He goes on for a few pages on the types and shadows of the anti-christ found throughout Scripture. Never thought about that until I read the book.
Examples include, but are not limited to, the Pharoah and King Herod.

I was on pilgrimage in Ha Eretz last May and saw the Franciscans at several of the holy sites. They seemed to be very orthodox there. At the Church of the Holy Sepulchre they not only have Masses (carefully following the horarium set out in the 1850's by an accord with the Greeks, Armenians and maybe others) there every day but also do some special prayers at the most significant spots within the church, i.e. at Calvary, the stone of unction, and the tomb; these are done vested in habit and surplice, with incense, and in Latin. I was very edified. I wish I could get the texts of the prayers they used but cannot find the right source.
The Franciscans also have the only organ in the church, which can be heard throughout when played, even if at the times the other groups are conducting their services. Quite a sight to see the Armenians, in full monk outfit, beards, hood and all, making prayers, chanting, incensing, etc., and then to hear the Franciscans' organ on top of it all. Very exotic.
On a broader note, Israel was great; we felt very safe and the economy is almost completely dual currency, everyone takes and makes change in either dollars or shekels, as desired. In addition to Jerusalem, Haifa was a very beautiful city, with Mount Carmel right there, and worth the trip itself.
For pilgrim accommodations in Jerusalem (i.e. for those not needing TVs in the room, but requiring a chapel on site) I highly recommend the Notre Dame Institute, run by the Legionaries of Christ. Fr. Juan Solana, LC, who is the director, took us around to many of the sites in Jerusalem himself, and he was greeted by the locals there as if he were another mayor of Jerusalem or something. He is really quite something. For those who can understand Spanish, I would recommend a visit to see him give a reflection on the Nativity, at the Grotto of the Nativity in Bethlehem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYi00JltpIw

Well
looky looky. The City of Evil is doing doing pacifism and environmentalism ... all they need is ecumenism.

Fr. John several times during our stay there was careful to say that we all owe the Franciscans a debt of gratitude for reopening the Christian holy sites there in the Holy Land, and for providing so many martyrs there.

Have your read "Man Of Sin" by Kim Riddlebarger? No I haven't but I'll checked it out. Looks very interesting and well done. Pharoah and King Herod might have been foreshadows of the Anti-Christ but I'm not sure they were very ecumenical. But I'll have to read the book.

This article makes me think of a song I recently discovered, and which I want to share...
Saxon "Crusader" Lyrics
Crusader 6:33
(Who dares battle the Saracen)
Crusader, crusader, please take me with you
The battle lies far to the east
Crusader, crusader, don't leave me alone
I want to ride out on your quest
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, to stand by your side
To fight with you over the sea
They're calling, they're calling, I have to be there
The holy land has to be free
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight
With all your might
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
We're marching, we're marching, to a land far from home
No one can say who'll return
For Christendom's sake, we'll take our revenge
On the pagans from out of the east
We Christians are coming, with swords held on high
United by faith and the cause
The Saracen heathen will soon taste our steel
Our standards will rise 'cross the land
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight
With all your might
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
To battle, to battle, the Saracen hordes
We follow the warrior king
Onward, ride onward, into the fight
We carry the sign of the cross
Warlords of England, Knights of the Realm
Spilling their blood in the sand
Crusader, crusader, the legend is born
The future will honour your deeds
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight
With all your might
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
(Come Crusader let battle commence)
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
