NEW YORK (AP) — There will be prayer vigils and pilgrimages, policy briefings and seminars, and sermons in parishes from the U.S. to the Philippines.
When Pope Francis releases his much-anticipated teaching document on the environment and climate change in the coming weeks, a network of Roman Catholics will be ready. These environmental advocates – who work with bishops, religious orders, Catholic universities and lay movements – have been preparing for months to help maximize the effect of the statement, hoping for a transformative impact in the fight against global warming.
“This is such a powerful moment,” said Patrick Carolan, executive director of Franciscan Action Network, a Washington-based advocacy group formed by Franciscan religious orders. “We’re asking ourselves, `What would be the best way for us to support the faith community in getting this out and using it as a call to action?'”

The Pope should stick to theology and leave pseudo-science to experts like Gore.
I don’t think Pope has a climate change message.
Just as Obama is the worst president in my lifetime (and I would argue, in the history of the United States), so is Pope Francis the worst pope in my lifetime. He is a hardcore Marxist, which is perhaps a bit strange given Marx’s thoughts on religion.
Follow the teachings of Christ.
Funny how they all seem to forget their first directive.
He’s not exactly a Mensa candidate.
Then God might relent.
His leadership says a lot about the Institution of The Catholic Church ... it’s just a man-made institution and ahs typical human weaknesses.
We are seeing the true faith of “progressive”Catholics.
The Church is “man-made,” of course. Jesus is God incarnate, not the pure spirit worshiped by today’s gnostic Christians.
At least you're redacting carbon from going back into something useful, like filters, vegetation, trees, food, coal. Should keep you out of hell.
Need to sell the Vatican...give the money to the UN to help deal with this sin.
This Pope is the main reason why I probably will leave the church. Again. And the Catholics which organize for his “climate change” message are the other reason.
The Pope is attracted to the International Socialism part of CAGW.
Can’t they just join the Anglican Church?
All religions are “man made,” when you get right down to it. I think God is amused at the shenanigans man trots out in His name.
Pray for a global, socialist command economy where people are thrown in prison for earning a little money on the side to help their families.
YES! So glad someone sees it. The Church is what God established, beginning at Pentecost. All these manifestations of ‘doctrinology’ He must find amusing, if not very frustrating too. He winks, occasionally.
