ROME — World leaders are running out of time and must address the challenges of climate change before it’s too late, Pope Francis said.
In a letter to Catholics in Scotland signed Nov. 9, where the U.N. Climate Change Conference is being held, the pope said he hoped leaders attending the summit would “meet this grave challenge with concrete decisions inspired by responsibility toward present and future generations.”
“Time is running out; this occasion must not be wasted, lest we have to face God’s judgment for our failure to be faithful stewards of the world he has entrusted to our care,” he wrote.
The pope’s message came as the conference in Glasgow, also known as COP26, is set to conclude Nov. 12.
At the summit, the United States and China announced Nov. 10 that a joint agreement was signed between the two countries in an effort to lower greenhouse gas emissions. However, according to BBC News, neither country signed a pledge that would phase out the use of coal by 2030.
In his letter, which was released by the Vatican Nov. 11, the pope said that while he regretted not being able to attend the summit, he thanked Catholics in Scotland for joining him in praying for the conference, which is “meant to address one of the great moral issues of our time: the preservation of God’s creation, given to us as a garden to be cultivated and as a common home for our human family.”

First read suggested to me, the ‘creation in the womb.’
Guess not - wrong pope.
The FAKE Marxist pope spews again!
Ummm, no.
Worshipping the creation — which too many people do — rather than the creator makes the creation into their idol. When people do that they not only bring judgment on themselves should they remain unrepentant that provide cause to bring creation into judgment … which incidentally is something the Revelation to John seems to address.
The Lord is gonna get real with the created world.
He’s getting ready to shout.
Leading God’s children astray will incur God’s judgment, Jorge.
Idiot pope has turned into a full blown earth worshipping pagan. Pachamama you betcha.
The narcissist is further isolating himself with his wild delusions.
Someone who refuses to preach God’s Word in favor of politics instead shouldn’t be threatening anyone with God’s judgement.
Failure to save souls won’t be good for the ImPopester at the pearly gates.
Does that include humanity, Pope?
The pope ... sigh. There are so-called good popes and bad popes. It is a continual shake of the dice. Really? Did Jesus really entrust the holy Christian (Catholic) Church to fallen humanity, to a man? Any man? Is not He, the Son of God and Son of Man (Son of Mary), the incarnate God, the Head, and only Head, of the Church?
Never a word about personal salvation. Never a mention of Jesus. He’s the Vicar of Satan.
The Papalcy is the Beast.
You nailed it: Vicar of Satan.
Hey Popey! Failing to recognize that mankind is too puny and powerless to affect the sun, the moon, and the stars - instead of God being in absolute control - is pathetic on your part. Get a clue!
My first thought as well.
The Bible has a lot to say about worshipping the creation versus the creator...
