I just read through the text (Italian) quickly. The document is 192 pages long, but that’s because the folio is an odd shape, about 8 X 5 inches. Specific discussion of Climate Change takes up maybe 3 pages, but is mentioned in passing in other sections. Much longer is the section on Pollution of soil, waterways, oceans, and human and animal habitats.
Some themes: a) The planet is being harmed by irresponsible humans; b) this harm is felt mostly by the poor and marginalized; c) there is a reason why the Catholic Church has the right to speak on this matter, and this right is guided by revelation; d) the solutions to these harms to the planet require regional, continental, and sopra-national efforts.
Thank you. I think the thing that has everyone worried is that he obviously sees some international entity with enforcement powers as the solution to all problems.
This Pope’s uninterest in abortion, which is killing 50 million a year worldwide, is an absolute scandal. And he chooses bishops who have made a name for themselves SPECIFICALLY by advocating giving Communion to pro-abortion people—which is a mortal sin each and every time it is done.
Worst Pope in 500 years. The first completely muddle-headed Pope since who-knows-when.
