Vatican Calls for ‘Unprecedented Collective Response’ to Climate Change
Breitbart ^ | 1/25/21 | Thomas D. Williams

ROME — The Vatican has called for a “responsible, unprecedented collective response” to the “momentous challenge” of climate change.

Speaking on behalf of Pope Francis, Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin said in an online address Monday to the Climate Adaptation Summit taking place in the Netherlands that climate change “represents one of the principal challenges facing humanity in our day.”

“The scientific data at our disposal clearly show the urgent need for swift action,” Cardinal Parolin said. “The transition to a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is a problem not only of the domain of technology, but also a question of consumption patterns, education, and lifestyles.”

The cardinal said that Pope Francis wished to assure participants in the Climate Adaptation Summit “of his closeness, support and encouragement in these days of intense effort.”

The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation activities must go hand-in-hand with strengthening adaptation and resilience, Parolin said. “This is a moral and humanitarian imperative, especially since the greatest negative consequences of climate change often affect the most vulnerable: the poor and future generations.”

“Complementarity mitigation and adaptation activities require coming up with a global and shared long-term strategy based on precise commitments, capable of defining and promoting a new model of development and built on the synergistic bond between the fight against climate change and the struggle against poverty,” he said.

The cardinal took advantage of the address to reiterate the pope’s call for increased multilateralism.

Why is the pope so adamant about climate issues? Shouldn’t he be more concerned with advancing the kingdom of Heaven?

I’m not catholic nor do I closely follow the pope and his edicts, bulls, or public statements, but nothing this pope says that makes headlines is spiritual in nature.

Dear Pope Marx,

Tear down your walls and embrace the invading Islamists.

Does anybody remember the time Jesus panicked over the weather? Me neither. He was in a boat asleep with the Disciples. Does the Pope even read/believe in the Bible?

Why doesn’t the Vatican spend less time in politicians and more time with the Divine Creator of the universe?

Because Jorge Bergoglio is too interested in blessing pagan idols.

Pope Francis Blesses Pachamama Idol

‘...pope insisted that multilateralism “is God’s plan for our world.”’

What does that mean?

He stated.....“Complementarity mitigation and adaptation activities require.... coming up with a global and shared long-term strategy..... based on precise commitments,... defining and promoting 'a new model of development'... and 'built on' the synergistic bond between the fight against climate change and the struggle against poverty.”

Basically:

- Re-distribution of wealth - from Western Nations to 3rd World Countries.

- Re-population - free moving 3rd worlders into western nations via open borders and assisted migration.

‘Collectivism’,.....by three or more parties, especially by the governments of different countries....with a Governing body determining how everything runs and is distributed....ie: One world Governance.
