Remember, NPR is a completely neutral “news” outlet. And they would never use the death of the Pope to push the climate cult
Pope Francis focused on climate change as the planet continued to get hotter
In addition to being the spiritual leader of about 1.4 billion Catholics, Pope Francis advocated for taking action on climate change. That’s not surprising for a pontiff who was the first to take the name of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and ecology.
Over his 12 years as the head of the Catholic Church, Francis repeatedly raised the problem of human-caused global heating from burning fossil fuels and he encouraged people—including world leaders—to do something about it.
His 2015 encyclical brought an influential voice into the global discussion, just as leaders were finalizing an important agreement in Paris, which aimed to address the problem. And as humans continued to heat the planet with pollution from fossil fuels, Francis’ missives became progressively more urgent. Researchers felt these writings boosted Francis’ prominence as a climate advocate, though they appear to have largely failed to change people’s minds about climate change. Still supporters say he brought together science, morality and faith in new ways for his church.
I prefer not to speak ill of the dead so quick, but, Pope Francis seemed more concerned with things other than The Bible, Jesus, and protecting and spreading Christianity. He seemed super concerned about the climate scam to the point where he seemed to worship the gods of the cult, violating the 1st Commandment. Environmental protection is one thing: taking the positions of a doomsday climate cult is something else, and seems to violate that whole “false idols” thing.
Francis’ climate encyclical inspired several Catholic climate groups to form, including The Global Catholic Climate Movement, which is now called the Laudato Si’ Movement.
“All around the world, you saw all of these people reading the encyclical, writing letters to the editor, posting on social media, forming discussion groups in their parishes,” says Rebecca Elliott, senior director for strategy and special projects at Laudato Si’ Movement.
The nonprofit group says it has worked in 140 countries and trained about 20,000 community leaders it calls “animators,” people who put into practice the ideas Francis has advocated. “They’re educating the next generation in care for creation. They’re planting trees. They’re holding litter cleanups. They’re doing mobilizations and marches to advocate for better policies,” Elliott says.
Are they teaching Catholicism and the teachings of Jesus? Or the golden calf of global boiling?
Landrum says Francis likely will be remembered as an “advocate for climate change” and as “an environmental pope.” While he may not have changed many conservative minds, she says, “I think that he did plant a flag, and to say that climate change mitigation is consistent with socially conservative values and with Catholic values.”
Well, he won’t be remembered as someone who cared about Catholicism.
Scratch one Argentinian communist. The world is a marginally better place.
Repubicunt Marjorie Tater Greene claimed your god made the world a better place by killing Pope Francis. Teach agrees!
Most MAGAts agree too!
MAGAts are disgusting.
Fat Jeff is lying…..again.
That’s it.
And of course a disgusting Rimjob along with other demoncra5s fabricates the meaning of her words.
I don’t believe JD Vsnce killed Pope Francis but just caused him to lose the will to live.
Interesting that the Left is glorifying the Pope for his stances on Climate and immigration, but not the central feature of his life’s work: Christianity.
Naturally the Left loves the Pope NOW that his is dead and no longer pointing out their sinful habits like abortion, slavery, child trafficking, recreational drug use, and multiple sexual perversions. If anything, the Pope was the Vatican’s Joe Biden. Old, frail and senile. Rarely seen in public and the Vatican staff actually running everything in his name.
It is a common failing of political liberals and political conservatives alike to try to pigeonhole the late Pontiff specifically, or Catholic Church in general, as liberal or conservative, because our faith is not based on politics.
On the politically conservative side, the Catechism of the Catholic Church states:
The Church is also opposed to ‘transgenderism,’ artificial contraception, pornography, plural marriage, remarriage after divorce, prenatal infanticide, IVF, and several other things.
On the politically liberal side, the church supports free immigration, fighting
global warmingclimate change, wants to see a ceasefire in Ukraine — oh, wait, that’s us evil conservatives! — and in Gaza. The Church opposes capital punishment. Pope Francis said that this isn’t official church doctrine, but his personal hope that Hell is empty, which raises the obvious questions of where are Adolf Hitler, Judas Iscariot, Josef Stalin, and Margaret Sanger? The Church is not a fan of capitalism.Our esteemed host wrote:
This is our parish’s Laudato si and solar power page. It lists primarily conservation goals, and isn’t wild-eyed warmist stuff, and I agreed with all but one, the installation of an electric car charger, not because I am opposed to electric car chargers, but due to practicality issues: even with our solar power array, this would be a major electrical project, and would be extremely difficult to manage.
The question of what is being taught is not an either/or, but the answer is and. Fr Montoya really isn’t big on the Laudato si stuff, and his homilies are very heavily on religion, but he’s not opposed to Laudato si goals. I’m not on the Laudato si committee, because I missed the parish council meeting where it was put in place, but I have my own projects: I have to refinish the main doors on the church, and I have a small concrete patching project to do.
Mr Teach’s disdain for the Pope is distasteful. Protestant fundamentalists have long opposed Catholics. Our beloved Klansmen hated not just negroes, Jews and homosexuals but also Catholics.
Mr Teach is upset that Pope Francis would dare mention global warming, the poor or the persecution of homosexuals, preferring him to persecute homosexuals and preach about abortion just as Jesus* did.
Mr Teach insults Pope Francis as “WOKE”, even implying the Pope is part of a cult! Just abhorent.

*Would the Biblical scholars here cite Jesus’s teachings on abortion and homosexuals?
