I missed the reference to where this exists in the Bible. Maybe the pope (yes, small p) can point it out for us.
Is it OK to describe a pope as a nitwit? Just askin’...
Once you leave Scripture as the highest authority....
Sola Scriptura
Every time Pope Stupid the First opens his pie hole its an ecological sin.
You have claimed he’s your pope therefore you must obey him.
Amen sister, the father of lies has found haven in the Vatican.
Sorry ebb, Scripture includes no church position of pope in any list of church positions.
Even the Orthodox get that right.
Ergo, no.
Hatred of the mind and products of the mind leads to hatred of industrial civilization and economic progress, which leads to the new asceticism of leftardism, which leads to the return to subsistence level of existence and mass misery and suffering.The pope wants everyone to suffer.
No problem, this pope is a nitwit. I generally skip threads having to do with this jerk.
Per Summa
I answer that, There is no sin in using a thing for the purpose for which it is. Now the order of things is such that the imperfect are for the perfect, even as in the process of generation nature proceeds from imperfection to perfection. Hence it is that just as in the generation of a man there is first a living thing, then an animal, and lastly a man, so too things, like the plants, which merely have life, are all alike for animals, and all animals are for man. Wherefore it is not unlawful if man use plants for the good of animals, and animals for the good of man, as the Philosopher states (Polit. i, 3).
Now the most necessary use would seem to consist in the fact that animals use plants, and men use animals, for food, and this cannot be done unless these be deprived of life: wherefore it is lawful both to take life from plants for the use of animals, and from animals for the use of men. On fact this is in keeping with the commandment of God Himself: for it is written (Genesis 1:29-30): "Behold I have given you every herb . . . and all trees . . . to be your meat, and to all beasts of the earth": and again (Genesis 9:3): "Everything that moveth and liveth shall be meat to you."
Reply to Objection 1. According to the Divine ordinance the life of animals and plants is preserved not for themselves but for man. Hence, as Augustine says (De Civ. Dei i, 20), "by a most just ordinance of the Creator, both their life and their death are subject to our use."
Reply to Objection 2. Dumb animals and plants are devoid of the life of reason whereby to set themselves in motion; they are moved, as it were by another, by a kind of natural impulse, a sign of which is that they are naturally enslaved and accommodated to the uses of others.
Where in Heaven’s name are the worlds Catholics taking this heretic to task?
The silence is deafening!
Time to remove their tax exemption.
So why do you continue to pretend to be a practicing Catholic?
It is laying the religious foundations and justifications for downstream persecution and ostracizing of people who oppose the Popes secular utopian globalist agenda .
Guys like George Soros are building the political and legal foundations and frame works to complement the Popes efforts . Concerned that this is headed to a very dark place
Could we get a new pope who cares more about God then he does about communism? This penile pope is destroying the church and he needs to be kicked to the curb. Everyday he comes out with something stupid. He’s not the pope, he’s the poop.
Frankie is a sin against the Catholic Church ...
