Leo blasted the ‘injustice, violations of international law and the rights of peoples, grave inequalities and the greed that fuels them are spawning deforestation, pollution and the loss of biodiversity.’

He made no equivocations about what or who was to blame, identifying ‘climate change provoked by human activity’ and insisted the world was experiencing an ‘ecological crisis’.

He said humanity’s mission is the same as Christ’s: to protect creation and bring peace and reconciliation in the world.

‘We hear the cry of the earth, we hear the cry of the poor, because this cry has reached the heart of God,’ he said. ‘Our indignation is his, our work is his.’

Global Climate Change is the religion of the wealthy and privileged

Oh Yaya, another earth worshipping pope who thinks that man can confound God’s plan for the earth by “caring for the environment”. This planet will last a guaranteed 1007 more years, and likely much much longer EVEN IF man does nothing!

Now, if the pope wants to talk being responsible and not polluting just for the sake of having clean environ,ends, me, whatever, BUT preaching that man can change the climate is heresy!

Hi, FReeper ebb tide. Please do your usual due diligence regarding all things Catholic and Pope. I was hoping that I had misjudged Leo 14 and that he was turning out to be one of the good guys. I’d love for you to research this climate bunk statement and tell me that Leo 14’s statement was mistranslated or taken out of context and that he’s still looking like he’ll be a good leader for Catholics and not be a globalist using climate change warmageddon cult stuff to cull the masses.

In Dallas, Texas:

"The overall levee system begins along the Elm Fork and West Fork of the Trinity River continuing through downtown Dallas. This system is referred to as the Dallas Floodway."

"In the Dallas Floodway, twenty-three miles of levees average a height of between 29' to 32'.

"The East and West Levee Systems were originally completed in 1932 and upgraded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1950s​​."

[[Leo blasted the ‘injustice, violations of international law and the rights of peoples, grave inequalities and the greed that fuels them are spawning deforestation, pollution and the loss of biodiversity.’]]

But he won’t return the Vatican to “native woodlands” though will he? Or doze his current home and live In The woods, or or or. Climate hypers are Hypocrites one and all.

'We have to pray for the conversion of many people...who still do not see the urgency of caring for our common home,' he told the congregation.

I'll pray that the Pope gets access to real science.

So how do we explain the Roman Warm Period and the Medieval Warm Period? Climate should have remained constant the whole time. Especially since technology was limited back then.

It may be warming now but we are not even sure if we are causing it.

Well I had hoped for a Catholic pope. Saw glimmers.

Never mind.

The change in the sun is having more impact, but the climate nutjobs would blame man for the change in the sun.

What the heck? Pope Leo is pushing global warming?

And he’s doing so right after a terrible disaster,?

He sounds like some liberal politician or MSNBC commentator.

Probably. We are not aware of it. All the money is going to climate change. And if you're getting paid of course you'll say that climate change is caused by human activity.

If there's a flat earth lobby, you'll say that the earth is flat just because you're getting paid the big bucks.

“…the cry of the earth…”????

From a Catholic Pope ???

Environmentalism is earth worship, plain and simple.

It’s the oldest form of pagan religion in the world, rooted in ignorance.

Christianity REPLACED EARTH WORSHIP, and put the focus on the human condition.

This Pope needs to denounce this climate emergency nonsense and get back to basics or lose the Church completely.

I’m stunned that they don’t see this coming.

For shame….

Pope Marx II speaks.

Sorry Catholics. The Obama of Popes destroyed your church. It is “fundamentally transformed” to reflect the marxist teachings of modern colleges. Can it be saved? Doubtful. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised this clown pope appoints Muslim bishops for the sake of precious diversity.

Had him pegged on day one. Hand picked by the previous false pope. What part of floods happening all the time in Flash Flood Alley does he not seem to comprehend? Ridiculous how even this guy blames everything on Trump as if Trump has more power than Jesus himself. Tells you all you need to know about this latest false pope and how far the church has fallen.
