Mixing Up the Sciences of Heaven and Earth

Catholic ping!

Hey, the same kind of thing happens all the time around here. ;') Thanks NYer.

It’s notable that there is no general theory of climate change. There are several articles attacking something called “a general theory of climate change denial” which end up being attacks on capitalism. This pope is also committed to destroying capitalism.

This Pope is an advocate of Liberation Theology which turns everything spiritual into the political as well, to the effect that he sticks his nose into fields of which he knows absolutely nothing, but would dictate to us all about them anyway.

An A+ for Fr. Rutler.

He summarizes succintly in essentially two main points, the problem here;

1) This is mission overreach to an area into which the papal charism does not extend.

2) Given the current crises which face Christendom (Islamic persecution, the destruction of marriage, the disregard for the unborn, etc), is the subject of ecological and climatic conservation really the area where guidance is most needed?

Galileo really helped his case when he put the words of the pope in the mouth of his character Simplicius, "Fool".

What business is it of any Church what a scientist says or believes? The house arrest of Galileo is proof enough of the charade of wisdom of “Popes”.

While the Holy Father has spoken eloquently about the present genocide of Christians in the Middle East, those who calculate priorities would have hoped for an encyclical about this fierce persecution, surpassing that of the emperor Decius. Pictures of martyrs being beheaded, gingerly filed away by the media, give the impression that their last concern on earth was not climate fluctuations.

Fr. Rutler subtly and correctly points out that an encyclical condemning the despicable evils being perpatrated by ISIS Muslims right now would seem to be far more compelling and urgently pressing than this tired but radically leftist, (though modulated) rant about the still unsettled science of "climate change", which we just got from Pope Francis today.

(To keep things in a balanced perspective, I always like to review the following video, whenever a leftist goes off on another climate change rant.)

"How the Global Warming Scare Began" (John Coleman)

“This Pope is an advocate of Liberation Theology...”

Actually he’s an opponent of that theology.

The Church doesn’t exactly have a great track record when it comes to matters of science.

"What business is it of any Church what a scientist says or believes?"

There are exceptions, such as the theory that, rather than being created in the Image and Likeness of God, we descended from apes.

Not from what I’ve seen, regardless what he claims.

THIS OPE is committed to the new world order, because he imagines the Vatican will rule it with the aid of the ETs the Vatican is tracking in their binocular telescope atop Mt Graham in AZ. He has already told the world that he will baptize them, unless they have to baptize us.

As much as they disagree with that theory/falsehood, they should not have the authority to imprison/murder/torture people they disagree with. The Catholic Church has had that power in the past and abused it.

I’m shaking my head and rolling my eyes over this Pope. God Bless him, but of all things to write an encyclical on he picks climate change. Very sad and disappointing, especially with such diabolical attacks on the family and Christians these days.

You missed the two times that he mentioned that this matter is open for debate.

Where are you seeing attacks on the family?

Calling Mrs Don-o who has proof that Pope Francis is family centered — against abortion, against euthanasia.

The following link-list is not a "balanced" list of everything the Pope has been saying, but rather a "balancing" list. I'm trying to supply needed perspective by providing links to material that is rarely or never highlighted by Sedevacantist and Tabloid Trads and the Left EneMedia.

Any discussion of the strange convergence of interests between the Sedevacantist blogosphere and the Left EneMedia is something I'll have to save for a later date.
