Last I heard God was in charge of the weather. Remember Noahs flood? How about when Jesus and the Disciples were about overturned by waves while Jesus was asleep? Jesus calmed it right down. The Pope oughta read the Bible sometime and put that United Nations Agenda 21 magazine down.
He is so committed to his commie views that had Jesus showed up to present opposing views, Popie Pooh's boss would have been denied a ticket.
As American regret Obama, so too do Catholics regret this Pope.
However, to assume Catholics support the Lil’ Red Pope's forays into politics is analogous to assuming Americans support Obamas "transforming America".
In the case of America, voter fraud bought Obama’s victory. Who paid off whom to get the Lil’ Red Pope elected Pontiff?
It just does not sound like the promise that the seasons would go on until the “end” (which is supernatural).
This is the bad vibrations pope....
When we will we read: How Galileo lost a Papal fight over helio-centrism?
So Christians are people who believe in a “hoax” about “an invisible man in the sky” but the Left is all willing to declare the Pope is “right” when he sides with them on the issue of redistribution and punitive measures against the West because of the sin of Man-Made Global Warming.
The pope called it immoral. It is immoral to lie about man’s effect on the weather. It is immoral to cook the books to justify Marxism.
Francis is constructing a Tower of Babel. Such it was in the time of Noah.
Classic pope... oh groan.
But it would be an improvement
Same folks.
Feigning ignorance of things about which one is well aware is one of the hallmarks of the con artist.
Not a lot of “regret” in the popularity research statistics!
Well, in this case it could be genuine, but power-driven. There is a tangible influence to be had by believing in the hippie version of the world. So rather than be curious, he goes along with it.
This is perfectly in line with actual Christian belief, which posits the devil as the first actual con artist.
That's possible. Who knows what's in a man's mind. He seems to have a world view about which he can not be disabused.
Catholics should start compiling lists of Eco-sins to confess. Watering the lawn on a non-authorized day of the week, discarding of dead batteries in the garbage can rather than recycling, owning an older, less efficient A/C unit, removing the shower head flow restrictor, etc. Confess nothing but that nonsense for the next year or so, then post notes online describing the priests’ reactions.
Spiritual leadings can end in great devotion. That isn’t the problem.
The nature of the spiritual leading is the problem — this is what is going to dictate what this devotion is going to look like in the end.
Believe in a redeeming Christ, your life will bespeak that.
Believe in rainbows and unicorns, your life will look like rainbows and unicorns.
A Cloward-Piven type protest. That's funny!
It’s been bandied around before what this might look like in the confessional.
What is the sin here? The sin of doing evil things to the globe?
What is enough contrition for Gaia? I wonder if it isn’t enough for her until you become extinct.
Of course God is in charge of the weather, to paraphrase Michael Critchon, Global Warming is a religion for people who want to believe in something other than God. One big reason I left the Episcopal Church was their downplaying of the miracles wrought by God in the Bible as stories. Now it appears that the Pope is downplaying the power of God as well.
The story of how this man was frozen out by Vatican goons is perfectly consistent with what we know about Bergoglio: His mind closed many years ago. In Buenos Aires, he exiled any priests who disagreed with him to the farthest corners of the archdiocese, and never talked to them. As Pope, he has behaved the same way.
Many tried to save the Pope, but he wants to live in a collectivist, Leftist bubble. He has disgraced himself for all time as a useful idiot of the totalitarian Left, and an abuser of Papal authority.
The mystery of Francis is over. He is a conventional crypto-Marxist Latin American bishop.
Especially downplaying the fact that God is in charge of the weather, the climate, or considering how big the universe is, he would be in charge of supernova and quasars. And yet this Pope is going in the way of downplaying miracles and the power of God himself. That’s essentially what Global warming is all about. Not believing in the power of God.
