On Earth Day, Pope Francis Says the World is ‘at the Limit’
Catholic News Agency ^ | 4/22/21 | Hannah Brockhaus

Posted on 04/22/2021 6:00:30 PM PDT by marshmallow

In a message marking Earth Day, Pope Francis urged world leaders to “act with courage, operate with justice, and always tell the truth to people,” so that the destruction of the planet can be prevented before it is too late.

“The adversity we are experiencing with the pandemic, and which we already feel in climate change, must spur us, must push us to innovation, invention, to seek new paths,” the pope said April 22.

The pope’s video message was played during an Earth Day live stream on YouTube organized by EarthDay.org, which oversees the event held annually on April 22 since 1970.

In his message, Pope Francis said that we do not emerge from a crisis the same, but “we come out better or worse.”

“This is the challenge, and if we do not come out better, we go down a path of self-destruction,” he said.

“In this commemoration of Earth Day, it is always good to remember that the things we have been saying to each other for a long time must not fall into oblivion,” he continued.

Francis said that for some time people have been more aware of the need to protect nature, and that interactions with the biodiversity given to us by God must take place “with the utmost attention and respect.”

The coronavirus pandemic, he said, has taught us more about the impact our lives have on nature and climate change.

So the heretic is publicly announcing that he doesn’t believe in God and that God will fill the planet with as many as He wishes.

We had snow squalls today here in the Twilight Zone. It is April 22, 2021. The man made climate change is a hoax, always was, always will be.

I’m not Catholic and don’t two sh!ts what the pope says. As a matter of fact, I wish he would focus on his job and STFU. I’m so sick of hearing him that I wouldn’t p!ss in his mouth if his teeth were on fire.

The Poope obviously doesn’t believe in the Bible. Especially the Lord’s Prayer where it says that the earth will last forever.

The Vicar of Pachamama is very loosely educated.
