Archbishop Paul Coakley criticized the Supreme Court’s decision, saying the EPA needed ‘the necessary authority to meaningfully regulate greenhouse gases.’
WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) – The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has condemned a recent Supreme Court ruling which limited the Environmental Protection Agency’s to regulate carbon emissions from power plants.
In a July 1 statement, Archbishop Paul S. Coakley of Oklahoma City, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, criticized the Supreme Court for a decision which he said would negatively impact the “threat and challenges of climate change.”
On June 30, the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision sharply curtailing the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) power to push “green” energy policies instead of the much attacked fossil-fuel energy.
The majority opinion, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, stated: “Capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to generate electricity may be a sensible ‘solution to the crisis of the day’,” but he added that it would not be “plausible” for Congress to give the EPA the autonomy to developed “its own” scheme.
“A decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear delegation from that representative body,” Roberts wrote.

The EPA doesn’t have the authority. That’s the whole point.
Archbishop, please stay in your lane!
You are being used to spread propaganda.
Then let the Congress express the will of the people, not some nameless bureaucrats!
If the people won’t vote for Greenies in Congress who would favor such laws, then I guess it can’t be forced on us against our will.
But go-ahead Fathers, express support for tyranny.
But what do strippers think of the Catholic Church’s war on Latin Mass? JUST as relevant.
Useful idiots
Bishops have forgotten what their role is.
Babylon, Babylon,,,
Hey bishops - just keep swinging your censers and stay out of politics.
Don't they have any reprobate politicians in rebellion against Christ and the Church whom they can reprimand and exclude from the Eucharist instead?
Get lost...bishops.
Bishops are so concerned with the woes of the libtard political world 🤪
AKA secularists
I checked, the word “carbon” is not in the Bible. These new world pagans need to go back to their original sworn assignment, supporting their commitment to Christ. That is not their purpose? Sorry....
Time for US bishops (and wannabe bishops) to pass a basic citizenship knowledge exam before being allowed to become a bishop. Didn’t pass? Don’t like the Founders? Hate America? You’re outta here.
We are replacing the rule of law with the rule of men, and these idiots have no idea they are first on the menu.
An anti-scientist praising anti-science. Who would have thought? :)
Stay in your lane boys….
Need something to do with catechism ignorance so high.
Stay in your lane, Padre.
Worry about the Salvation of Souls, that kind of thing. You know, your JOB.
