Pope Francis Calls on Humanity to ‘Repent’ for Abuse of Mother Earth
ROME — We humans “must repent and modify our lifestyles” because of our abuse of Mother Earth, Pope Francis states in a message released Thursday.
In his Message for the Celebration of the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, the pontiff decries the “mistreatment” of our common home stemming from “our consumerist excesses,” “tyrannical anthropocentrism,” “predatory economic interests,” and “short sighted and selfish actions” leading to “the collapse of our planet’s ecosystems.”
“In the first place, it is our sister, mother earth, who cries out. Prey to our consumerist excesses, she weeps and implores us to put an end to our abuses and to her destruction,” Francis declares in his Message.
Because of human irresponsibility “countless species are dying out and their hymns of praise silenced,” the pope laments, while the ancestral lands of indigenous peoples “are being invaded and devastated on all sides, ‘provoking a cry that rises up to heaven.’”
Because of the “climate crisis,” the poor disproportionately suffer the impact of “the drought, flooding, hurricanes and heat waves that are becoming ever more intense and frequent,” the pope asserts.

My lifestyle is 1,000Xs more balanced and “Earth friendly” than Frankie’s.
I’d bet the farm in it.

So Catholics, you follow an Earth worshipper? His ONLY commentary should be to declare Jesus as Our Lord and Savior and bring souls to Christ. Why are you not INCREDIBLY offended by his comments about “Mother” Earth? A recall and denouncement should be happening for all of his many blasphemies.

Not original, did you know this ?
CANTICLE OF BROTHER SUN AND SISTER MOON OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI Most High, all-powerful, all-good Lord, All praise is Yours, all glory, all honour and all blessings.
To you alone, Most High, do they belong, and no mortal lips are worthy to pronounce Your Name. Praised be You my Lord with all Your creatures, especially Sir Brother Sun, Who is the day through whom You give us light. And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendour, Of You Most High, he bears the likeness.
Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars, In the heavens you have made them bright, precious and fair.
Praised be You, my Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air, And fair and stormy, all weather’s moods, by which You cherish all that You have made.
Praised be You my Lord through Sister Water, So useful, humble, precious and pure.
Praised be You my Lord through Brother Fire, through whom You light the night and he is beautiful and playful and robust and strong.
Praised be You my Lord through our Sister, Mother Earth who sustains and governs us, producing varied fruits with colored flowers and herbs. Praise be You my Lord through those who grant pardon for love of You and bear sickness and trial.
Blessed are those who endure in peace, By You Most High, they will be crowned.
Praised be You, my Lord through Sister Death, from whom no-one living can escape. Woe to those who die in mortal sin! Blessed are they She finds doing Your Will.
No second death can do them harm. Praise and bless my Lord and give Him thanks, And serve Him with great humility.

Every damn' time Francis opens his mouth, I'm glad I left the catholic church in 1992.
Just sayin' ...
Let me know when the catholic church gets a REAL pope again.

Not original, did you know this ?I'm quite aware of it; but nowhere does the saint refer to the earth, fire, moon, whatever, "crying out" as if they had souls.
Face it, Bergoglio is a pagan; St. Francis was not one.

That man is Satan’s brother. It’s a shame the way he has brought down the Catholic Church.

There’s no such thing as a perfect saint, with the exception of the Blessed Mother.
