“In a dramatic display of symbolism, Pope Leo XIV blessed a block of ice to challenge climate change deniers and urge political leaders to act. The gesture was performed at a global gathering south of Rome marking the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si, the late Pope Francis' ecological encyclical. Standing before a melting glacier fragment, Pope Leo invoked his predecessor's environmental legacy while chastising those who mock climate science. He called on leaders to act with courage rather than delay, and invited attendees to join the effort.”

Yup- i even started going back to mass in the hopes things would change but will continue to boycott going to mass as i did the prior four years when frankie was calling the shots...
Likewise. He initially showed signs of being reasonable and dialing back the politics, but in the past week or two he’s turned hard left. I can’t help but wonder if he’s being blackmailed.

Frankee did the same thing once he settled in the leftist BS started.
Sound like ‘The Simpsons’ mocking religion again.
So disappointing.
In Africa they don’t have much ice to worship. Try trees.
“African traditional religious beliefs often revere sacred trees as manifestations of ancestral spirits and deities.
People among the Yoruba, Dogon, Akan, and Giküyù may pray around a tree.”
Admit it. We think the African ones are silly and mythical.
They think a Pope laying hands on a block of ice to revere nature and climate change restrictions on the West is creepy, too.
That either makes him a Pagan or a Blockhead.
Apparently Pope Leo thinks being Pope makes him an expert on everything, not just the Catholic Faith. Now he’s an expert on climate science. Maybe medical doctors should seek out his advice before performing surgery, and NASA should hire him as a consultant, since being Pope has bestowed him with such super-powers.
Catholics are a cult.period. If you need a man to mediate between you and the Lord. Step back and reevaluate this paradigm. Hate HATE Catholics no other religion has caused more harm to centuries of humans other than Muslims. Don’t care, done even send messages or replies hate Catholicism 100% pure as sunshine. Zero Fs. Save it.
I think I still have a pet rock in storage. Maybe he can bless that.
Uhhhhhhh....yyyeahhh.....can we apply the 25th Amendment to the Pope?
I truly feel sorry for good people like Theresa Tomeo of EWTN and Michigan’s WDEO who is strongly conservative and has to reign it in to be subservient to Popes with whom she disagrees politically.
She and ally Vanessa Denha Garmo attack leftist biased news media in their analysis segments.
Each made daily disagreements with others about accepting and patting on the backs the hypocrites Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi who look for praise but enable abortions in legislation.
Both try to emphasize accepting the two Popes after John II and Benedict as religious but not political leaders for themselves.
A tightrope.
Pope Leo has turned out to be a real putz. He will be a divider not a leader.
‘it’s a miracle. it didn’t melt!’
>> Pope Leo invoked his predecessor’s environmental legacy while chastising those who mock climate science.
bearing false witness was not a good look for Francis, and neither is it for Leo — whatever, his purgatory to hopefully avert
The Iceman Cometh-—Eugene O’Neill (1939).
The Ice Pope Cometh——2025.
Interesting analysis:
“”The Iceman Cometh” means a harsh truth or reckoning is arriving, stripping away people’s hopes and illusions, much like the Grim Reaper arrives to end life and dreams.”
Seems to apply to the new Pope.
Bless a double shot of Stoli and a splash of cran and I’m in.
if only people understood the real cost. this was 2021 and I’ve seen $250 trillion quoted somewhere more recently, but don’t have time to search for it.

imagine the grifters who lose out if they don’t get back into the Paris Accord post-Trump. the public needs to be constantly reminded how they plan to soak up these trillions, which would all have to be borrowed anyway! lol.
