Pope Francis’s Greatest Fear for the Planet: ‘Loss of Biodiversity’

ROME — Pope Francis displayed his solid ecological credentials this week, declaring that climate change is a “global emergency” and insisting that what he fears most is a loss of biodiversity.

In a wide-ranging interview published by the Italian daily La Stampa Friday, Pope Francis said that the upcoming Vatican synod of bishops on the Amazon region will focus heavily on environmental issues.

Asked why he convoked the synod, Francis said it is a “child” of his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si on care for creation. “Those who have not read it will never understand the Synod on the Amazon. Laudato Sì is not a green encyclical, it is a social encyclical, which is based on a ‘green’ reality, the custody of Creation.”

I heard he used to be a bar bouncer while Mummy & Da-Da were making themselves the socialists the wanted to be.

Wheres his fambilee? Aint got no bros & sisters??

Frankly, if western civ declines into disorder within the next 5. yrs or so this little piece of pretenscious popery will have been gone and this little b-tard will be held to acct for leading the Church into socialism and following the Agenda 21 & Agenda 2030. Hes despicable and im born & bred Roman Catholic.

LOL

In some ways I might agree with this. It might appear we have devolution, loss of genetic information. Whether in loss of species or/and inbreeding.

We definitely do not have evolution, increase of genetic information.

But, let me repeat that, but............................

1) This is a person who should be trusting God and telling us to trust God.

2) Remember about all that junk DNA we learned about in school, notice that word junk. Called junk because we don’t understand it. There is some evidence that the “junk” DNA is an incredible back up system that when needed can be expressed again. Now that takes incredible design.

He is really upset and fearing the continued decline in contributions from American Catholics.

Sounds like Il Papo is going down the road to paganism, worshipping the creation rather than The Creator.

Sure is a great thing we have this smart Pope. Really makes you wonder why that old Jesus guy never preached about this stuff, when the Romans were destroying wildlife all over Europe and North Africa to provide wild animals for killing in the Colosseum. I guess the Pope is just so much smarter and better educated.

“Sounds like Il Papo is going down the road to paganism, worshipping the creation rather than The Creator.“

You’re exactly right. He’s your typical leftist Jesuit. He lost the faith years ago and could care less how the faith is disintegrating all over the world.
He’ll go down in history as the worse pope in the last 1,000 years.

And Nationalism is making him think of Hitler in 1934.
This dude sucks. Between him and the abuses, church is now a place in my mind, not a place to go anymore.

The real thing to fear in this world is, the ascendancy of races other than Caucasian and the neutering of the males within the race.

Cue up the catcalls of White Supremacist, racist, sexist and homophobe.

Under the ascendancy of Caucasians, we have had a society full of wonders. Airliners fly the world, cars take you from Coast to Coast in 2 days. People are generally fat, happy and get along with each other no matter the race, sex or religion.

Put any other race in charge of a country and see what life is like if you want to start picking on Western Civilization.

SHOW ME A BETTER RUN.

Shows a shocking lack of faith in our Creator who CREATED biodiversity.
