Vatican message for Ramadan focuses on ecology
Catholic Culture ^ | June 2, 2017 | unknown

Posted on 06/02/2017 8:12:04 AM PDT by ebb tide

The Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue has released its annual message to Muslims on the occasion of the month of Ramadan.

The theme of this year’s message—dated May 19 and released June 2—is “caring for our common home.”

Noting that Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato Si’ is addressed to all of humanity, the pontifical council’s president and secretary stated that “our vocation to be guardians of God’s handiwork is not optional, nor it is tangential to our religious commitment as Christians and Muslims: it is an essential part of it.”

“May the religious insights and blessings that flow from fasting, prayer and good works sustain you, with God’s help, on the path of peace and goodness, to care for all the members of the human family and for the whole of creation,” they added.

Laudato Si should be treated like a dead horse.

To my Catholic brothers.

Your Pope is so off the rails, that his positions are indistinguishable from Obama/Clinton’s.

...and should have been followed by...

Meanwhile how many have died during Ramadan because of global warming?

We know, we know.

In the fever swamps of the European left, the Mideast is a blaze because of global warming, not Islam. This is why when Trump went to Europe and the Vatican, he talked about terrorism and they talked about climate change.

"in the struggle to save the environment....we must be the leaders of these movements.... Human society cannot basically stop the destruction of the environment under capitalism. Socialism is the only structure that makes it possible." Likewise, Carl Bloice boasted last year that "The environmental movement promises to bring greater numbers into our orbit than the peace movement ever did."

--CPUSA National Chairman Gus Hall, 1972

This is the global "warming" the Pope ought to worry about...

I know that the Slavic Catholic clergy is having none of this: not the muslim migration, not the global warming. The Slavic Catholics are in virtual rebellion against Rome.

I’ve heard that many are leaving to join the Eastern Orthodox.

The Vatican issues a Global Warming message for Ramadan. That is a perfect picture of Francis’ church these days. Christianity gets shoved aside for PC trendiness.

HEY KOOKY BIRD.

It is still difficult, especially for Dad, to be critical of the pope.

Now this one, yes, is the devil, I see it sorry!
NOT IN MY FATHERS HOUSE!!!

“Vatican message for Ramadan”
- What? Now I know why so many people used to ask: “Is the Pope Catholic?” They were ahead of their time.

“Vatican message . . . focuses on ecology”
- What? I remember when the Vatican focused on scripture. Care for the poor, the sick, widows, and children are all appropriate Vatican messages. Ecology? That’s appropriate, sometimes, for science homework.

Eastern Orthodox.

ITS ME AGAIN...

My husband Dom attended funeral mass yesterday at Eastern Orthodox Church. He said the priest was SO loving he loved the mass too!

I am Urantia Book reader so Religion is my life.

No matter, Save is-lam, where the God knowingness comes from I resonate.

Does the Pope/Vatican ever preach Jesus and the Good News these days or have they gone over into liberal/socialist politics?

Horses are great - the Catholic church not so much.

I would convert to the Amish or Mennonite church before the Church of Rome. The Pope and his ilk love all the trappings, jewelry and adornments. How much real charity work and serving the Lord do they perform? It is the faithful members who do the Lord’s work in their daily lives.

Time to convert or start a new order.

So now it’s Imam Francis. Not really a surprise. He has said that the kooran is the same as the Bible. He has said that *slam and Christianity are the same.

The Pope is mentally incompetent and borderline insane like all Socialists. How many days in a row have the Copts been slaughtered just this week? Not one word from Rome. Christians are slaughtered all over the world and this fool trots out Marxist nonsense as he appeases to those who wish to bring the Dark Ages back to the world. Rome does not speak for millions of Catholics/Christians and the Muslims sharpen their knives with anticipation of Caliphate.
