Apparently the Pope has abandoned Catholicism for the Wiccan religion

Whoa. Nice face-palming, there. And quite appropriate. We already HAVE a covenant…and it ain’t with Mother Nature.

Right!
For his sake I hope he’s crazy, but I wouldn’t bet the farm on it.
Well, maybe the funny farm!
Lol! ;-)

(Genesis 1:27b-28)
"[M]ale and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth." "Subdue [the earth]; rule over .. every living thing."
Humanity is not told to make agreements with animals or the environment.
The Pope's instruction is in conflict with Holy Scripture (again). "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself will not stand." (Matthew 12:25)

Can he be exiled to a cave? How about putting him in a straitjacket and locking him up in a rubber room? This man is looney tunes.

I don’t remember.
I’m terrible about movie and actor details except for a few like “The Three Amigos” or “PeeWee’s Big Adventure”.
Please don’t judge me.

the catholic bishops in the Philippines are pushing “do not invest in fossil fuels”.
Two problems: One, if the Filipinos don't let people invest in our huge natural gas deposit in the West Philippine sea, China is there to take it over (indeed, they have been blocking the Philippines for two years by claiming they own it, despite international law that denies their claim).
The second problem? It will hurt middle class and poor people. Tricycles (motorcycle side cars used as a local taxi), jeepneys, etc will cost more, as will buses and trains. So commuting to work will cost more.
Cooking with LPG (i.e. propane) will be too expensive (they'll have to use wood, which causes a lot more pollution).
And of course the price of food will skyrocket: Fertilizer is already gone up (even our organic fertilizer has doubled in price), the cost of using a handplow (cultivator to prepare fields for rice), thresher, harvester, rice drier, etc will go up because they use diesel. And of course, the price of shipping our rice to Manila will go up.
But hey, poor people don't have to eat do they?
And then the bishops wonder why so many in the Philippines are joining other churches that stress Jesus rather than ecology.

IIRC, the Old Testament has something to say on the matter.

Like a 7-year covenant. That would be super cool 😎.
For like, ‘Peace and Security’ - yeah, that’s the ticket!
What could possibly go wrong?
