My pastor sticks to the scriptures and ministering, which is what we pay him to do. Too bad this guy can’t do that.

Once upon a time, these guys worried about the collapse of Christianity. Now, it’s all leftist politics, all the time.

And they supposedly have a direct line to the one entity who has any control over the climate.

Cardinal Peter Turkson, the head of the dicastery, opened the event by saying the planet is “on the brink of an unprecedented global catastrophe.” He said effects of climate change, including warming temperatures and rising sea levels, “place a question mark on the very future of human existence.”


Sounds rather like idolatry to me. It puts man ahead of God.

All those centuries, those that wanted to destroy the Catholic Church failed miserably. Too bad they didn’t figure out that all they had to do was get the gay mafia in Rome and then elect a commie Pope and cluster O’Cardinals with the tech knowledge of Al Gore.

Actually,he’s right.

But for the wrong reason.

The coming cooling will be very bad for the human race.

Communists need to be excommunicated from the Catholic church.

“Sounds rather like idolatry to me. It puts man ahead of God.”

To me it sounds like more papal bull.

.
Perhaps the Poop has finally bought a Bible?

That “collapse” begins on Tishri 2, 2024, and is called the bowl judgements.

It lasts ten days.

The Church involving itself in scientific matters again. Did they learn nothing from the heliocentricity fiasco? Let’s dig up Galileos bones and put him under house arrest again.

The Vatican Secratary of State is now a “science” expert??? Who knew. Oh, sorry, I forgot, there was the case of the excomminication and imprisonment of Galileo.

He said effects of climate change, including warming temperatures and rising sea levels, "place a question mark on the very future of human existence."

- it is not true
- if it is true,the predictions are inaccurate and exaggerated in order to be sensationalistic and create a crisis situation
- if it is true, the solutions suggested by environmentalists are worthless or harmful
- if it is true, the solution is more capitalism and economic progress to increase wealth and capital accumulation in order to pay for things that need to be done
- if it is true, then individuals need to be free to act on their own independent rational judgment to pursue their own rational self interest rather than relying on big government planning and force.

Ask the dude the current cost of letters of indulgence. That’s the moment when he grasps that you just won’t buy into his fake stuff.

The Pope could fix all our environmental problems just by announcing that Catholics can now use birth control.
