The Holy See deposits its instrument of accession to the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention, and the Paris Agreement signed in 2015, to the United Nations Secretariat, and holds an event in the Vatican to celebrate the occasion.
By Salvatore Cernuzio
"At this particular moment in our history, marked by increasingly troubling conflicts that undermine multilateralism, it is necessary to consolidate our efforts in favor of integral ecology - an issue that - like climate change - is in danger of being overshadowed."
Speaking on Tuesday, the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, who inspired the Pope's commitment to the care of our common home, Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin announced that the Holy See, on behalf of Vatican City State, has joined the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), adopted in 1992, and the Paris Agreement signed in 2015.
Cardinal Parolin spoke at a meeting organized by the Secretariat of State, in collaboration with the Pontifical Academies of Sciences and Social Sciences, in the Casina Pio IV to reflect on the theme "Care for our Common Home". It was an important moment of reflection and sharing (online and in presence) that also took place in view of COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh on November 6-18.
Significantly, the evnet took place on the first anniversary of the "Faith and Science: Towards COP26" event, which was held in the Apostolic Palace on 4 October 2021. That event saw numerous religious leaders and scientists from scientific traditions and fields sign, together with the Pope, an appeal to move decisively and with conviction from the "throwaway culture" to a "culture of care" for the planet.
"With the Holy See's accession, the UNFCCC almost reaches its universalization with 198 states," Cardinal Parolin noted.
Achieving this goal is the result of "a long process of study and analysis" with the Governorate and "collaboration" with the Dicasteries of the Roman Curia, as it was for the drafting of Laudato si'.
Pope Francis' encyclical, Laudato si', was mentioned several times by the various guests, starting with Cardinal Parolin, who recalled how the document calls for collaboration "at different levels" between "disciplines," "countries," "different components of the international community (states, organizations, local authorities, private sector, scientists, civil society)" and, above all, "collaboration between generations."
As he said, "when we talk about caring for our Common Home, we should be concerned" about those who will inhabit the world.
Cardinal Parolin pointed out that Pope Francis held this gaze toward the future when reaffirmed Vatican City State's commitment to reduce emissions to zero before 2050 and, at the same time, promote "an education in integral ecology" which can stimulate "new lifestyles, based on development and sustainability, fraternity and cooperation between human beings and the environment."
"The so-called socio-ecological crisis is a propitious moment for our conversion and for decisions that can no longer be postponed," the Secretary of State remarked.
He added that the science is clear: "there is less and less time to mitigate the effect of climate change and adapt to it." The impact is "profound" and affects not only nature but also the economy and society.
A cry of alarm was also raised by Cardinal Michael Czerny, Prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development.
"The global situation is more desperate than it was seven years ago," he said. "Despite the Paris Agreement, the goal of a temperature increase of only 1.5°C is virtually unattainable; the planet is already 1.2°C warmer. Yet many new fossil fuel projects are being recklessly launched, contradicting the International Energy Agency's call."
Against this backdrop, Cardinal Czerny glimpses a light that in Laudato si', which, 7 years after its publication, "continues to inspire and guide people of good will toward an increasingly integral ecological approach."
For its part, the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development "supports every effort to connect, gather and share the voices of civil society," the Prefect assured.
One such example is the Laudato si' Action Platform, which currently brings together more than 6,000 participants, including schools, families, religious communities in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa.
In Vatican City State, there are "numerous environmental projects planned and organized" to achieve the goals of the encyclical.
On hand to list them was the newly-appointed President of the Governorate, Cardinal Fernando Vérgez Alzaga, who spoke of procedures for the sorted collection of waste (organic and special waste, metals, plastics, batteries) in the directorates and offices, for the management of resources, as well as the new irrigation and watering techniques for water saving.
Other interventions include energy control, reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, installation of solar panels, and implementation of home automation systems which, in the absence of staff, can turn lights off.
"Ours," Cardinal Vérgez said, "is a collective effort to which everyone is called to contribute to change lifestyles, convinced that the climate is a common good of all and for all."
During the event, a video was shown that was produced by the Dicastery for Human Development in collaboration with the Dicastery for Communication, which included testimonies from the five continents.
The conclusions were entrusted to Archbishop Gallagher, moderator of the meeting, who explained the reasons why the Holy See decided to adhere to the Framework Convention and the Paris Agreement.
First of all, he explained "consistency with the Church's social teaching on ecology," then, the desire to "strengthen multilateralism in the current critical situation."
"Either we win together or we lose together," the Archbishop said, stressing that the road to the goals of the Paris Accords "is lengthy" and there is still much to be done on issues such as climate, migrants who lack international protection, the increase in severe climate events, and resilience measures.
He expressed hope that COP27 might lead to "mitigating loss and damage, as requested by many developing countries."
"This is a matter of justice and equality that will have consequences in every country," Archbishop Gallagher said. "We need to end the culture of waste that dominates our societies and is so obviously unsustainable."
Ministers from Fiji, Senegal, and Monaco spoke via Zoom during the meeting, which was opened by Cardinal Peter Turkson, Chancellor of the Pontifical Academies of Sciences and Social Sciences, and Joachim von Braun, president of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.
Also in attendance online was Simon Stiell, executive secretary of the UN Climate Change Secretariat, who thanked the Holy See for Tuesday's "courageous" act.
Steps like this are needed, he said, to "implement transformative change and avoid a global catastrophe" that will "change our climate, our world and our lives."

21 Sept: Wall St Journal: The West Mimics Mao, Takes a Green Leap Forward
The green scramble to transform energy is reminiscent of China’s forced industrialization.
By Helen Raleigh, author of “Confucius Never Said” and “Backlash: How China’s Aggression Has Backfired.”
The green movement’s rush to transform the energy economy while ignoring the laws of nature and economics calls to mind China’s ruinous Great Leap Forward...
Like Mao, today’s advocates for the green-energy revolution have become impatient with the slow progress made by renewable energy. Fossil fuels and nuclear power provide 80% of the energy the world needs. Despite years of subsidies, renewable energy is still unstable and unreliable, since the sun doesn’t shine at night and the wind doesn’t blow all the time. Almost all renewable-energy power plants require either nuclear or fossil fuels as backups...
One of the essential lessons from China’s Great Leap Forward is that catastrophic failures inevitably follow from politicians’ insistence on ignoring reason, logic, truth and economics. Europe’s current energy crisis, California’s continuing power outages and Sri Lanka’s food shortages are all warning signs. The Green Leap Forward has set humanity on a fast track to another man-made catastrophe.

Its been 500 years, but I would not be surprised to see a figure within the Catholic Church to nail a list of theses on a cathedral door.
Like the figure who left the Catholic Church and started his own new “church”?
Yup. The irony is that a lot of reforms came out of it. Unfortunately, so did the Jesuits.
🇺🇸 For the following links, it may be necessary to use Brave, or DuckDuckgo, as Google will occasiomally block the following URL’s
As well, the “dots”, photo’s, and video’s are powerful evidence and descriptions of what is taking place right now, in Europe, the US, Israel, and around the wprld!
🎚🇺🇸 None of us wants to see or experience evil, but there is great evil which appears to have collectively swallowed the RCC, the ROC, and the 550 denominations of the WCC (including nearly all Protestant Denominations) under the umbrella of the World Counsel of Churches.
🇺🇸 It looks daunting, but it is all riveting.
The following links (with poignant description, photos, and video), I believe tell a story of intense and strategic generational KGB/FSB doctrinal subversion of the Roman Catholic Church, which utilized a potent version of *Gnostic Marxism* (critical) at the core of “Liberation Theology and “Social Marxism.
🔹️ A careful look reveals the religious embrace of a pagan derived environmentalism which is today found in various denomination-s, which initially involved a more subtle/cloaked move toward what would in time develope into modern radical environmentalism.
Simultaneously, while the church was under a satanic attack, there was an intense parallel secular track in the 1960’s, with the goal of using the peace movement, civil rights movement (liberation theology and social justice of today), and globally pervasive and intensely religious *Green Movement wrapped around AGW (Anthropogenic Global Warming)/”Climate Change”.
The evidence is there in “spades”!
🔹️ Because of it’s deep rooted Gnostic Marxism, one almost has to begin with the most doctrinally Gnostic and “Eastern” of them all, the Russian Orthodox Church.
Arguably, Gnostic Marxism led to a demonic and deeply immoral pre-Soviet culture, which included radical and violent feminism, evil in the church, and resulting in Bolshevism!

🔹️ Right out of the gate, ROC is KGB-FSB
A Breitbart Intro —
“The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) has been, since its reconstitution during WWII [really circa 1918], an instrument of the state. The best illustration of this is probably the 1949:
“Greetings from the clergy and laity of the Russian Orthodox Church to the leader of the nations of the USSR, the Generalissimus Joseph Stalin on his 70th birthday.”
It states, in part:
“Witnessing at every step your noble efforts to make people’s lives peaceful and happy, we see in your person not only a great statesman and leader, guiding the lives of people in a new direction of history, but also a *fatherly, caring trustee of all aspects of *our human existence with all its various needs.”
[Later] The Russian Orthodox patriarch at the time of Putin’s Easter show was patriarch Aleksi II, who died on December 5, 2008.
Lt. Gen. (r) Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest Soviet bloc official to defect to the United States, writes of Aleksi II, “The KGB had carried him under the codename ‘DROZDOV’ and awarded him its Certificate of Honor, as was learned from a KGB archive accidentally left behind in Estonia.”
Additionally, we know more from “original KGB documents known as the Mitrokhin Archive (described by the FBI as the most complete and extensive intelligence ever received from any source).”
We also know more “from Politburo documents released by Father Gleb Yakunin, vice chairman of a Russian parliamentary commission that investigated the KGB’s manipulation of the church.”
And with those details in hand, the “election” of a new patriarch in 2009 was quite a sight to behold:
*On January 27, 2009, the 700 Synod delegates assembling in Moscow were indeed presented with a slate listing three candidates. All, however, belonged to the secret KGB army:
- Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk worked for the KGB under the code name “MIKHAYLOV”;
- Metropolitan Filaret of Minsk has just been identified as having labored for the KGB under the codename “OSTROVSKY”;
- Metropolitan Kliment of Kaluga was recently discovered to have been listed under the codename “TOPAZ”.
*When the bells at Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow announced that a new patriarch had been elected, Metropolitan Kirill, aka “MIKHAYLOV,” proved to be the winner.
Presumably, the KGB/FSB considered him to be in a better position to carry out its tasks abroad, where he had directed his efforts during most of his professional life.
🔹️ In 1971, the KGB had sent him to Geneva (Switzerland) as a representative of the Russian Orthodox Church to the 🚩World Council of Churches (WCC), the largest international ecumenical organization after the Vatican, representing some 550 million Christians of various denominations throughout 120 countries.
His task was to use his position in the RCC led WCC to spread the doctrine of 🚩Liberation Theology — a Marxist religious movement born in the KGB—throughout Latin America.
In 1975, the KGB had infiltrated “MIKHAYLOV” into the WCC’s central committee, and in 1989 the KGB had appointed him chairman of the Russian patriarchate’s foreign relations as well —positions he still held when he was “elected” patriarch.
Indeed, in his acceptance speech “MIKHAYLOV” announced that he would establish religious television channels in Russia that would broadcast abroad.
Kirill/“MIKHAYLOV” recently attacked the “Godless” Ukrainians – though, according to one journalist (a recipient of the Blessed Karol Wojtyla [Pope John Paul II] prize for excellence in journalism dealing with religious themes), “25% of the population attends Easter services in Ukraine compared to 2% in Russia.”
In November, Kirill/“MIKHAYLOV” asked that Russians “remember positive achievements of the Soviet period”

ROC FURTHER REVEALED —
The Real ROC has been a powerful instrument of the NKVD/KGB/FSB for over a century —
🔹️ Worse, neither KGB ROC Patriarch Kirill (Vladimir Mikhailovich Gundyayev), nor his KGB predecessor Alexy II (Alexey Mikhailovich Ridiger), were able to subordinate the Ukrainian Orthodox church under Putin’s regime.
ROC has been, and is a very powerful and useful political instrument, from various political and surveillance “angles” -
KGB/FSB ROC - what it really is, for those who actually desire to know the truth, and get a bit closer to understanding what we are really seeing now, please take at least a cursory look at the following —

🔹️ NOW Roman Catholic Church and ROC RELATIONSHIP REVEALED —
The modern ties between current ROC, RCC, WEF are mind numbing —
With a little joint “Alphabet Agency help, Putin has successfully tied the ROC to a former KGB Marxist 1960’s priest named *Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Now Pope Francis) of the RCC and head to the World Counsel of Churches, even while “Francis” has on the surface distanced himself due to Putin/Ukraine optics and survival —

Again, the modern historical “dots” and imagery are near unmistakable, and sickening.
**********
Just as significantly benefited Moscow through the Kremlin directed U-1 and *Skolkavo Projects, Clinton and Obama acted to assist the FSB in the “Set Up/framing” of one Pope, and to replace him with the longtime champion of “Social Marxist” and “Liberation Theology” KGB Humanist, and Marxist Globalist, RCC - ROC buddy-WCC Pope “Francis”.
NOT COMPREHENSIVE, BUT ALL TIED to Edward Rockefeller’s puppet German born Leninist and Putin Bosom Buddy - KLAUSE Schwab
While not alone, Pope Francis was literally strategically involved at “Ground Zero” of the KGB’s secular Warsaw Pact development and effort to spread “Liberation theology” and “Social Justice” within the Roman Catholic Church, and through the World Council of Churches.
This was part of the greater KGB plan to neutralize and “capture” the “Western churches”, with the goal to spread societal division, and to necessarily weaken through pervasive sexual perversion all Western societies.
Putin himself has long been an admitted and strong global governance proponent and friend of Edward Rockefeller’s pawn Klause Schwab, as is Xi, but see themselves as ascendant over the Global Governance Architecture (which was also the long stated goal of the Supreme Soviet and Communist Internationale) — as does the EU, or leftists from the US (see Dr Carol Quigley’s, Tragedy & Hope, 1966)
(In his first “SOTU” speech, Bill Clinton credited Dr Carol Quigley as being his mentor, and having the greatest impact on his life and trajectory.)

🔹️ The Unexpected Connection —
🇨🇳 Gorbachev, and *notably his East German KGB center (and Communist Internationale’s financial support of “Green Cross”, and The Gorbachev Foundation), were the genesis of AGW, Climate Protocols, Summits, and UN-A21 and UN-A30, and the strategic Marxist Takeover of the World Counsel of Churches, Europe, and America —
