Pope Francis Affirms Importance of Meeting Sustainable Development Goals
Zenit News Agency ^ | 3/8/19

International Conference ‘Religions and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Listening to the cry of the earth and of the poor’

Pope Francis on March 8, 2019, affirmed the importance of meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) approved by more than 190 nations in 2015.

His remarks came in the Clementine Hall of the Vatican Apostolic Palace, where he received in audience the participants in the International Conference “Religions and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Listening to the cry of the earth and of the poor”, organized by the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development and by the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, taking place in the Vatican’s New Synod Hall from March 7-9.

“Solutions are what I hope will emerge from this Conference: concrete responses to the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor,” the Holy Father said. “Concrete commitments to promoting real development in a sustainable way through processes open to people’s participation. Concrete proposals to facilitate the development of those in need, making use of what Pope Benedict XVI recognized as ‘the unprecedented possibility of large-scale redistribution of wealth on a world-wide scale’. Concrete economic policies that are focused on the person and that can promote a more humane market and society. Concrete economic measures that seriously take into consideration our common home. Concrete ethical, civil and political commitments that develop alongside our sister earth, and never against her.”

I think I’ll take this opportunity to barf. BTW, for those who don’t know, this whole “Cry of the earth and something or another of the poor” is from a book by Leonardo Boff, the previously condemned (Marxist) Liberation Theology flake that Frankie has restored.

It’s a real shame that women can’t be priests. Because Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would fit right in as a Cardinal in today’s Catholic Church.

I would say, “Shut up and preach,” but this Pope doesn’t even believe in the Gospel.

LOL! I’d never thought of that, but you’re absolutely right! But don’t give any ideas to a certain pope.

You are right. She’s fit right in.

This “Pope” is wrecking the Catholic Church.

“the unprecedented possibility of large-scale redistribution of wealth on a world-wide scale”...Pope Francis

“Marx was highly critical of “vulgar socialism” and considered the whole notion of “fair distribution” to be “obsolete verbal rubbish.” In response to the Gotha’s program claim that society’s production should be equally distributed to all, Marx asked,
To those who do not work as well? … But one man is superior to another physically or mentally and so supplies more labor in the same time, or can labor for a longer time. ... This equal right is an unequal right for unequal labor… It is, therefore, a right to inequality.”

“Socialism states that you owe me something simply because I exist. Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-forced altruism: I may not want to help you, I may dislike you, but if I don’t give you a product or service you want, I will starve. Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution.” -——Ben Shapiro

Jorge Bergoglio, the A-hole Jesuit Argentinian Communist who was elected Pope due to the machinations of the homosexual sexual predator Cardinal, excuse me Former Cardinal, McCarrick. Need I say more? We Catholics who fill our parish churches every weekend are sick and tired of this guy’s pontificating BS. Amen, Amen.

I’m curious. Does the Pope and the Catholic church still have anything to do with religion?

Here is something to add to the conspiracy theory.

He was put in by Obama, the most homosexual agenda glorifying President ever. Obama was the most powerful man in the world. It has been shown he was not shy about using the U.S. Government intelligence gathering abilities to serve his political ends...

I have absolutely no proof of this suggestion. But if you ask: Cui bono? (who benefits) It pops right up.

Instead of reaching out to and defending what Judeo/Christian beliefs are. Challenging the claims that Islamist make they are following God’s command when ruthlessly murdering and torturing non believers and destroy their edifices. Parties with suppressors of the faith

Francis continuing destructive confusing pontificating on temporal worldly social behavior has nothing to do with and avoids articles of faith. Let alone refusing to question and expound on the profound differences with the claims made by Islam and its followers simply because of its assertion of being monotheistic and winds up making a point of honoring it. Is leading to misguided conversions and a serious fracture within Christianity and The Roman Rite .

I suggest the coup at the Vatican was arranged by the same people who arranged the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

The 2008 election was an elaborately staged play, with John McCain chosen as Designated Loser long before the election due to his own ineligibility. Who would deny a “war hero” the chance to run for President?

I agree. Something very wrong with Benedict stepping down.

This “pope” lost me when a bunch of priests and nuns were murdered by a bunch of muslims in Africa. His response was that we need to understand their actions.

F. Him. He is NOT a Catholic Pope. He is a traitor.

F. Him and all that brought him into the fold.

He is not a Catholic. He is a traitor.
