“To this date, Francis has not acknowledged reception of this petition.”
Did any pope ever acknowledge receiving petitions from lay people? Ever? Again, we see the Faux Traditionalists are just out of touch with reality.
Since when where 201+ Catholic Cardinals, Archbishops and Bishops considered lay people? Are they all “Faux Traditionalists”?
Well one has; and his name is Francis.
SIGN THE CATHOLIC CLIMATE PETITION
POPE FRANCIS ENDORSED THE PETITION.
Left: Pope Francis is informed about the Catholic Climate Petition by GCCM representatives (Tomás Insua from Argentina and Allen Ottaro from Kenya). Right: Pope Francis holds the Catholic Climate Petition in his personal office.
Pope Francis asked the Pontifical Ceremonieri, Monsignor Guillermo Karcher, to sign the petition on his behalf as a way to show his endorsement (given that popes don’t sign petitions because of protocol).
