“political leaders of all UN member states have a special responsibility to agree at COP21 to a bold climate agreement that confines global warming to a limit safe for humanity, while protecting the poor and the vulnerable from ongoing climate change that gravely endangers their lives.”

Translation: “Place limits on human progress in order to consolidate power under the United Nations.”

“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.

A natural conclusion to a works-based theology.

The Vatican needs to read Genesis 8:22. In that verse God promises that cold and heat, summer and winter will never cease as long as the earth endures.

Exactly!

That is exactly what this is all about. A bold grab for global government.

It’s like that old bit the Rush always does. “Earth heats up, poor and vulnerable hardest hit’.

“2015 the ‘last effective opportunity’ to safely limit warming, says Vatican conference statement”

Well, heck, if that’s the case, then let’s just get over this hump in 7 more months, and we can stop worrying about “limiting” so-called “global warming”.

He is more interested in the transfer of wealth than saving souls, apparently.

Indeed.

In fact, IIRC our last “last chance” came over half a dozen years ago.

Since the Vatican is engaging in politics I say it’s high time to tax the Church to pay for all of these programs they want.
