Catholic Online reports that new priests will be expected to be familiar with and promote efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
The Catholic Church is intimately concerned about climate change. The Vatican’s Pontifical Academy of Sciences is the world’s oldest, longest running scientific mission. That body, which advises the pope on matters of science, has concluded that global climate change is real and is caused, at least in significant part, by human activity.
We know because this manipulation of public opinion has been caught and documented. The fossil fuel industry funds nearly all of the climate change skeptics, going so far as to commission questionable studies, to financing think tanks, and even paying individual bloggers. The deception continues today.
The Church has a responsibility to care for people, and the environment. And care for one is also care for the other.
Now updated guidelines for the formation of clergy says new priests should understand this as well:
“Protecting the environment and caring for our common home — the Earth, belong fully to the Christian outlook on man and reality. Priests should be “promoters of an appropriate care for everything connected to the protection of creation.”
The new guidelines suggest that in the future, priests will also have a good grasp of the global climate change problem and will share this with their congregation.

And they’ll also teach that the sun rotates around the earth too.
What. You missed The Book of Environmental Saving in the New Testament?
My church leader is losing his mind.
The earth is here for US. Not vice versa.
I’m not saying abuse it, but we are not Wiccans.
Well, at least most of us :)
Franciscus.
Please .... Just STAAHHHHPPPP!!!!!!
Even if everything said in the second paragraph were true, it still to prove anything said in the first paragraph.
Lots of local catholic churches have become irrelevant.
The folks up front talking are just SJW’s in robes.
wonder why the seats are empty . . .?
A coming “Re-Awakening” will once again save this great nation.
Taking my Church to irrelevancy.
Unfortunately, the issue is politicized. In the late 1970s, when the issue threatened the financial interests of the fossil fuel industry, the political lobbies, chiefly in the United States, financed a massive political disinformation campaign to manufacture the illusion of dissent within the scientific community.

Can’t imagine why the Church is losing members...
There can be as many as 1000 angels dancing on the head of a pin.
My mother tried to sucker her four children into becoming catholics. I’m so glad none of us were stupid enough to fall for it. The catholic church is nothing more than a sad joke.
A marxist has taken control of the church.
Galatians 1:
1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:...
Well duh. What do you think caused the flood? And the plagues? And the miracles? Certainly not God. Hopefully the next step will be to substitute “Global warming” for “God” everywhere in the Bible. Manbearpig already told us the “debate is over”. Every weather occurrence is caused by global warming. Except when it’s really cold. Then it’s climate change. Global warming bless you all.
He is just a man and only a man. He will not be there forever. Christ will.
OH GOOD...we get to celebrate SPRING when the leaves start coming out and the early flowers; then SUMMER when we travel to see the sites in our Country, plant gardens, mow the laws, see all the pretty things; then FALL when the leaves turn their beautiful colors and fall to the ground so the kids can rake them up and jump in them and then bag them up to make ‘pumpkin men and women and kids’ for Halloween; and then WINTER when you get to sit inside the house and watch the snow falling and a snowflake will fall on the ground and the beautiful pattern it makes as no two snowflakes are the same...and then start all over again!!!
Finally the stupid Francis is saying something that really makes sense...every other thing that comes out of his stupid mouth is poop!!!
Doesn't say anything about global warming. Could be that Eric Worrall is making stuff up.
Pope Benedict is still the true Pope, not this usurper who was foist on the Church by a Communist cabal.
