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.

As Pope Francis remembered, the key is the political willingness to forge a radical transformation. Do we want “only to be remembered for the inability to take action when it was urgent and necessary to do so?”, said the Holy Father in the Laudato si’

“Holy See Pushes Urgent Action on Climate Change”

Anything to distract from the Pell conviction and the ongoing sex abuse scandals.

Francis may be an expert in Catholic theology; not being a Catholic I wouldn’t know. But, he is not a climatologist. He is thus speaking outside his field of expertise. Therefore his opinion is as worthless as mine in this matter as I am by training a library cataloger and I am free to ignore him.

This pope is a full blown leftist.
I expect to see him ‘in drag’ soon.
Thinking he does not agree with God on many issues...

detective :".. encourages nations to listen attentively to the cry of the earth,
which, as Pope Francis says, is groaning out in travail."

The "cry of the earth" comes from the millions of souls buried under socialism,
and dictatorial stupidity of religious organizations which imagine they have a right to a political voice.
The last I remember, the Gospel says to:" render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and unto God that which is God's."

Hey Frances, do something about you pedophile priests first before you lecture us on issues you know nothing about.

The above is why I don't subscribe to organized religion.

“Francis may be an expert in Catholic theology”

Francis is not even familiar with Catholic theology.

Francis works to undermine the principles of the Catholic faith.

Francis is an agent of Soros. He is an evil man.

Dear Msgr. Bruno-Marie Duffé and Cardinal Pietro Parolin,

The notion of man made climate change is a HOAX, perpetrated by the same pagans promoting the Godless population control agenda.

Carbon Dioxide is a BUILDING BLOCK OF LIFE and NOT a "pollutant"!
