Executives from among the world’s leading energy producers and investors concluded two days of Vatican-sponsored dialogue on energy transition Friday (June 14), with — for the first time — most signing statements of support for carbon pricing and disclosures on climate change risk.
Leading the conference were His Eminence Cardinal Peter Turkson, prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, and University of Notre Dame President Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., both co-sponsors of the June 12-14 dialogue, “The Energy Transition and Care for Our Common Home.”
Pope Francis addressed the summit today, and participated in a rare Q&A with participants. His remarks were also released publicly.
“Collectively, these leaders will influence the planet’s future, perhaps more than any in the world,” said Father Jenkins. “I am deeply grateful for their commitment to the transition to a low-carbon future while providing the energy needed to support the integral human development of every member of the human family.”
Carolyn Woo, former dean of the Mendoza College of Business at Notre Dame, and Leo Burke, professor emeritus of management, spearheaded efforts on behalf of the Vatican and Notre Dame to encourage the energy industry and its investors on a path toward energy transition.

Just who in Hell do they think they are? Oh, right.
“Collectively, these leaders will influence the planet’s future, perhaps more than any in the world,” said Father Jenkins. “
What an absurd and material-centered comment for a priest to make.
The planet’s future is not going to be determined by anything we humans do.
So the Pope and a Catholic- not catholic college cajole and berate companies into adopting carbon scams and a wreck less energy policy which will affect millions from having both cheap energy or access to any energy at all and pay themselves on their back for their moral righteousness.
Ironic that he sides with the very same people who want to destroy his religion
Notre Dame students and faculty are primarily responsible for Buttwipe being mayor of South Bend.
The Church has been infiltrated by the Left for decades.
And now one of their own is Pope.
Looks like the Church needs it’s own “exit” movement.
JP II was the “Trump” of Popes. He was able to hold back the tide, for awhile, but once he passed on, the Left completed their takeover of the Church.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
I am astonished that Father Jenkins would be seen in a Catholic venue.
Obama’s Secretary of Energy was there:

12 Jun: VanityFair: Trump Official Goes Rogue, Says Climate Change May Cause Next Financial Crisis
One guess as to how the president will respond.
by Bess Levin
Rostin Behnam, who sits on the powerful five-member Commodity Futures Trading Commission, told the New York Times in an interview Monday that the financial risks from climate change are akin to those posed by the mortgage meltdown that caused the 2008 financial crisis...
If you’re wondering how it came to pass that Trump appointed a guy who actually believes climate change is real, well, he didn’t exactly have a choice. Behnam’s seat, by law, had to be filled by a Democrat; legal experts told Times reporter Coral Davenport that it would be difficult, but not impossible, for Trump to fire or even demote Behnam...
“I have a unique bully pulpit,” said Behnam...

Ha Haa Haaa HaaaaaaHaa haaa HHHH ahhhhh haha HAAAhhhh!!
Has ND built an abortion clinic yet?
I remember when the Catholic Church was actually Catholic.
And Christian.
I’m so old I can remember when Notre Dame was considered a serious Catholic university.
“....Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?....”
They have no intention of controlling the sun. What they intend on “controlling” is your wallet...my wallet...and everybody else’s wallet. They are drooling, and practically orgasmic, over the trillions of new dollars that their hoax/scam will bring in as taxes, levies, fees, fines, etc. They plan on fleecing the “unwashed masses” and corporations for practically everything they own.
Climate change is the work of the devil. The deep state. How are we going to repair the damage the Vatican is causing ?
