The Pope's guests included an actress who advocates for abortion and has played lesbian 'love' scenes in her films and a former socialist minister’s concubine.

September 15, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Pope Francis received 14 French ecological activists from widely different horizons on September 3, in a bid to show that the Catholic faith is not a prerequisite for commitment in favor of “Our Common Home.” Days after launching the World Day for Creation and calling for a “Jubilee for the Planet,” the Pope once more focused on Amazonia and the “wisdom” of its indigenous cultures, in an impromptu address from which the words “God,” “Jesus,” and “Christ” were totally absent.

Instead, Pope Francis promoted “ecological conversion,” speaking of his own awakening to the needs of the planet since the Aparecida meeting of Latin American bishops in 2007.

Seen from France the event was a curious one. It was a motley group that assembled in the reception room of Santa Marta for a private audience with Pope Francis, together with the president of the French Bishops’ conference, Eric de Moulins-Beaufort.

All the guests are known activists, often left-wing. They ranged from actress Juliette Binoche, who supports the “fight” of Polish women for legal abortion and who has played lesbian “love” scenes in her films, to Audrey Pulvar, a journalist and politician, and a former socialist minister’s concubine who is presently one of the deputy-mayors to Anne Hidalgo, the socialist pro-abortion and pro-LGBT mayor of Paris. Pulvar herself is a self-proclaimed feminist and abortion supporter who also created an endowment fund, African Pattern, for the financing of the “ecological transition” in Africa. The fund has yet to take concrete action.

Other visitors included Valérie Cabanes, a lawyer who lobbies for the recognition of “ecocide,” or crimes against nature, and who wants nature to.......

This garbage is being spread throughout the Church. Many parishes have “Laudato Si” committees (you know how fond the Marxists are of committees) and they gather to read these awful “prayers” and blather about “mother earth.” What awful nonsense.

The pope needs to read “The Screwtape Letters” especially the part Screwtape telling his nephew to get the man into a “Christianity and X” situation which over time becomes, “X and Christianity and then just X.”

Has the Pope been reading Jean-Jacques Rousseau?

The Vatican has converted to Marxism in pursuit of heaven on earth—to the exclusion of God Almighty and the cancellation of Jesus Christ as the Son of God. It is now a mortal sin to drop an empty Coke bottle on the ground, yet it is apparently virtuous to slice a baby’s head open and rip its brains out.

This Pope’s obsession with the environment is evil. There are so many more pressing issues than this that The Pope should be addressing.

The current chastisements from God are due to many sins such as Abortion, homosexual predation among the Clergy, failure to spread the Gospel of Christ, dissolution of the nuclear family, etc.

Attempting to raise concern for the environment above all these, is to perpetuate an agenda of failed priorities.
