Catholic leaders: climate change on same level as abortion and death penalty

Belief in human-caused climate change seems to be driven significantly by political party affiliation, according to polling data from the Pew Research Center. While 79 percent of Catholics who identify as liberal Democrats believe Earth is warming because of human activity, only 15 percent of Catholic conservative Republicans do so.

The Vatican is now politicized.

They need to be exorcised.

[samtheman]

The Catholic Church of Karl Marx.

[Steelfish]

We saw from Wikileaks, how Soros, Podesta, and Palmieri tried to infiltrate the Church with their “plants” so that the Catechism of the left can slowly be incorporated into the Catechism of the Church.

No wonder a liberation theology Argentinian Jesuit is Pope.

[HChampagne]

Drain the Catholic swamp. (I am Catholic)

[Fungi]

John 8:32: You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Nonsense. These fools have stopped worshiping God and have become fools.

[ptsal]

Something is wrong in the head shed.

[John W]

Not any “Catholic Leaders” I follow. I’ve found it best to stick with Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

[bboop]

Drain the Catholic Swamp indeed. (We are Catholic too).

[BipolarBob]

God needs to send another Martin Luther to tell the Vatican He is in charge of the climate and nobody else. Probably get the same response as the first as the first messenger.

I got stuck in a meeting today for catechists and I was shocked and appalled at the crap they spewed. Compared the “bullying” that is supposedly going on to what happened in Rwanda. I fought back, fairly respectfully but I just wanted to walk out.

[TheStickman]

Never imagined progressives would take over our beloved Catholic Church like they have.

God have mercy on us all!

The Vatican is now politicized.
They need to be exorcised.

Or persuaded withreason.
There is a profound irony here. This Pope is not the best regarded in my lifetime, but... He IS a Jesuit; and Jesuits were, at one time the science leaders of their era. Science is founded on both inspiration and reason. Perhaps there is a glimmer of it left in Pope Francis.

The problem with climate is not the science, but the politics, and the weakest so called scientists, Lacking character and ethics, have corrupted the science with fraud, pure and simple. they are vocal, and they are many.
If there is any humility left in Francis, he may realize that he might not know all there is to know about Climate change and how the science has been manipulated.

The science of climate has never been openly debated, prevented by the political and financial opportunists.

If that is ever overcome, and reason prevails, the missing ingredients might change Pope Panchito's view of the meaningless phrase, "Climate Change."

“It’s clear that climate change is a pro-life issue,” said Sarah Spengeman with Catholic Climate Covenant, a nonprofit formed in 2006 by leading U.S. bishops to work on ecological issues. “People are being killed by climate change already, so it’s very core to our beliefs.”

Sarah has to stop getting her information from CNN and the Obama regime. Climate change is caused by the Sun, not mankind.

It is un-God like to blame mankind for climate change.

There have to be scientists in the Catholic church that can show that this nonsense about man causing climate change, is unscientific balderdash.

Sarah should take a deep breath and get some warm clothes because the Earth is on the cusp of global cooling caused by the Sun.

I’m pretty involved in our large Colorado Parish and will push back as loudly as possible.

This climate nonsense is part of the whole Population Control, anti-Capitalist, agenda.

We can both feed the world and teach the world to feed itself, but these elites are RACISTS, who don’t want the third world competing for their own resources.

Their wealth, comfort, and control is tied to their ability to ensure against a third world population, growing and threatening that control.

I will make the ties to population control and the clearly anti-Catholic agenda very clear, in a very public way.

Let them defend their communism.

Global Alarming Bump

[Mrs. Don-o]

Martin Luther? You're kidding.

You ARE aware that Pope Francis is a big fan of Luther and called him "a religious genius," right?

The present pope IS --- in important ways --- the equivalent of Martin Luther. A dedicated deconstructor of authentic Catholic doctrine.

[Bellflower]

To put the murder of precious, fathomlessly beautiful babies in the millions and millions in the same sentence as concern for heinous, hardened, merciless, premeditated murderers shows just how deranged and deluded these Catholic decriers are. Then adding the unfounded stupidity of climate change into the mix ought to be enough for Catholics to really have concern over the veracity of their religion.

I am in the 85%.
