Holy See Pushes Urgent Action on Climate Change
Zenit ^ | December 12, 2018

Posted on 12/12/2018 3:42:27 PM PST by detective

Msgr. Bruno-Marie Duffé – secretary of the Vatican Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development and coordinator of the Holy See delegation led by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican Secretary of State – at a press conference on Wednesday, December 12, stated strongly the Holy See urgent call for ambition, action, and true solidarity. The event was held in connection with the COP24 meeting in Katowice, Poland.

Msgr. Duffé reiterated the messages from Laudato Si’ that this is one crisis, with economic, social and financial aspects. The Encyclical Letter Laudato Si’ encourages nations to listen attentively to the cry of the earth, which, as Pope Francis says, is groaning out in travail (cf LS 2). Members of the Holy See delegation spoke clearly during the meeting of the need to listen to scientists, particularly in the latest IPCC report, which echoes the cry of the earth and shows clearly the devastating impact of climate change on communities around the world.

Speaking on the panel of today’s press conference were also Mercy Chirambo, representative of Caritas Malawi (CADECOM), and Joseph Sapati Moeono-Kolio, representative of the Pacific Climate Warriors. The panelists strongly called for urgent action in solidarity with the most vulnerable.

You’d think Rome would see the homosexual priests as their #1 threat issue.

Holy See needs to push action on Jesus’ Great Evangelical Commission of Matthew 28:19-20.

Listening to some of his theological pronouncements, I don’t think religion is an area of expertise for him either.

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?

How about him being an expert in the Marxist holy writings?

You may be on to something.

“Francis may be an expert in Catholic theology; not being a Catholic I wouldn’t know.”

He has a passing familiarity with the Jesuit occult and that’s about it.

They should stick to theology, but they don’t even have that right.

“...the Holy See urgent call for ambition, action, and true solidarity...”

Which suggests that the Vatican will be selling all of its assets, real estate, and liquidating all bank accounts so that they can apply the proceeds to fighting Climate Change .... Comrade Pope et al will be actually living up to their “vow of poverty”,

Looks like the Pope would see some sense of urgency to stop the Cardinals from boinking altar boys.

The Catholic Church has evolved into an ostentatious group of left-wing community organizers.
