Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia explained the new strategic vision of the Pontifical Academy for Life in an interview with Austen Ivereigh for Crux.
The Italian prelate brushed aside criticism that the Pontifical Academy has downgraded its commitment to the pro-life struggle, explaining that the institution will now pursue a more diverse agenda. He spoke about a commitment to the environment, observing that in the Book of Genesis, God gives Adam and Eve a mandate to care for his Creation.
Archbishop Paglia criticized groups that oppose abortion without also devoting attention to issues such as the environment and the death penalty, and questioned the effectiveness of organizations that may be “stuck in a fortress raising the flags of a few principles.”
“We have now the urgent task of broadening our vision,” the archbishop said.

Are you freaking kidding me? Mixing pro-life with global warming?
...questioned the effectiveness of organizations that may be “stuck in a fortress raising the flags of a few principles.”
So organizations should have a gazillion items on their agenda, instead of just focusing on one or a few that are related?
What a horrendous leader he's going to be (but then we knew that already).
Seamless Garment resurrected! JPII buried it but you can’t keep a bad demon down.
Juxtaposing overarching moral issues such as the right to life of the unborn with environmental issues conveys a moral equivalence between them and results in further deterioration of moral values and increasing confusion about the moral law, despite what Paglia says.
This sodomite is a clear and present danger to the salvation of souls.
Another day, another a**hole appointed by Pope Francis displays his ignorance. These guys make the Pharisees look like good guys. Heaven help the faithful of the Catholic Church.
Conflation of the issues strictly for pragmatic purposes. Sadly, the Vatican's spate of "Culture of Death" appointees manifests the true agenda of the current evil regime. The false equivalency strategy seems to be an amazingly effective technique for brainwashing those well-meaning rank and file Catholics who often have minimal knowledge of communist tyranny and have been thoroughly propagandized by media and academia.
The Vatican-Globalist "green" strategy smacks of "New Lies For Old".

Every day I open the news to be hit with another bomb from the Vatican! From now on, I will just ask any young woman in a pink hat what should I believe. Answer will be the same.
