Ping!
The goal is Global Communism.
Climate Change is just the vehicle being used to get us there.
The most egotistical Pope in my lifetime which goes back to Pius XII.
This boggles the mind. Where are the good scientists in the worldwide Roman Catholic community? Don’t they know what is about to go down in Rome. Some people, especially Wascally Evangelicals like me, might use this opportunity to pan Rome. I won’t. There are bigger issues here than inter-denominational disputes. This besmirches the church’s representation of the name of the Lord badly, if this encyclical goes out anywhere close to what is reported here. You have to know what the world is going to say, it is going to say Christianity (as a whole) has just embraced catastrophic warmism. And out the door goes the idea of the Lord as the Truth. Did the Lord build a globe this wimpy? I don’t think so.
The idea is to paint the Lord as effete, and requiring a committee of humans to fill in (not just to live along with the Spirit) where He couldn’t.
Some who are not sympathetic to Roman theology might accuse that this was inevitable from the Roman view of the Christian church. Maybe it was. But how did it happen so blinking fast?
He’s a Jesuit. Nothing else needs be said.
And so granted the Pope is... where are all the “non Jesuit” Roman Catholics? You’d think they’d be protesting this move, that this is a theological (and scientific) abuse....
If the models were any good, they could be initialized to the conditions of 1915, and then run to produce a 100-year forecast which matched the historical record of the last century.
If they could do that, the modelers would have done that and would be trumpeting the results from the rooftops.
The fact that they haven't done it means they can't do it, which proves the models are crap.
That is an interesting angle on the situation. Wouldn’t you expect to see things like “Say the rosary for planet Earth”? Or to keep pressing for improvements in how the earth is utilized. Instead of look out humanity here is a big panic that we need to get everybody involved in chasing their tails about.
I think the Boss of Christians is more powerful than that and deserves a better witness!
The models are fundamentally bad mathematics as well as bad science. There is not enough data to model what they want to model.
The models are a clear example of “First, draw the line then plot your points”.
Please, do not compare the mediocre Francis with Pius XII, one of the greatest Popes, a Saintly humble man who saved the lives of more than 800,000 Jews risking, according to the founder of Israel, the survival of the Catholic Church also threatened of be squashed by Hitler
And even a lot of the Wascally Capitalists have capitulated to this nonsense rather than explaining why their non-warming or slow-warming models are, at the least, no worse.
Shameless bowing to politics.
The bible talks about an abomination of desolation standing where it oughtn’t. If somehow the Vatican (and it is not impossible that a large chunk of evangelical Christianity will follow) manages to talk the world into energy starving itself back into the 18th century, it will have worked an abomination of desolation.
Many are.
Catholics slam Pope Francis on environmentalism
Lord Christopher Monckton says it best: "You demean the office that you hold and you demean the church whom it is your sworn duty to protect and defend and advance."
Well well... I hadn’t heard Monckton belonged to that church, but he’s the fellow to play Galileo to them if anyone is.
Thanks for posting that one.
And, I hope Monckton adds... he’s demeaning the LORD too, which is the BIG problem here.
I guess what we’re hearing is that the authors of this screed have pretty much the same mental horsepower that domestic brainiacs like Barbara Boxer and Ed Markey have.
God help us.
