The Vatican’s official newspaper hosted a call for Catholics to fast from using fossil fuels during Lent, an action it describes as being in solidarity with those enduring “cold in Ukraine.”
In the February 20 edition, L’Osservatore Romano noted how Catholics are being called to use Lent as “a time for reflections and concrete actions such as ‘fasting from gas.’” Additional measures to take included “limiting the use of heaters,” which the newspaper stated would act “not only as a sign of solidarity with Ukrainians and other afflicted peoples, but also to defund the war economy.”

It aims to “turn Pope Francis’ encyclical letter Laudato Si into action for climate and ecological justice,” the mass divestment from “fossil fuels” is inspired by the pontiff’s environmental writings. This “divestment” is to limit the “catastrophic impacts that could lead to the displacement of hundreds of millions of people” should the earth’s temperature rise by 1.5 degrees Celsius, a level that climate change activists argue could lead to a global crisis.

Poope Soros speaks.
Food is energy.
Fertilizer is energy.
How about a fast of contributions to the Catholic Church during Lent?
How are they ever going to heat those lavish and hugely popular man love apartments so prominent in the news 6 months ago..
Doing my part: power has been out since Wednesday, so we are burning Mr. Buddy heaters and a gas generator. No fridge, furnace, washer, dryer, lamps, etc.
Getting ready for those forced blackouts.
Hope you get your power soon. How you managing?
So does that mean they will be “fasting” from going to work, driving to the grocers, sending their kids to school on a bus, heating their homes, and doing lots of other things that fossil fuels helps them to do? It’s gonna be a long forty days.
It is cold. Not too bad until the sun goes down. The ice storm hit Michigan really hard last Wednesday. There are many people still without power, schools cancelled and lineman working their butts off.
I am over 60 and do not remember ever having one this bad
Stay in your lane!
Thank you for asking.
Our Marxist Pope, who grew up in a Marxist society - since many of his friends are Marxists - is comfortable with nothing else but Marxism. His secular “opinions” mean nothing except to show that he is “ill advised”.
Well, according to the eco nazis, fossil fuels will heat up the planet.
That’s means Ukraine would be warm.
Of course.
I went with out power for 14 days. It sucked but it was hot not cold. Got through it. Learnt alot. Lol.
Do Be safe.
Propane space heaters can be tricky inside.
Road trip!
When will the Vatican turn off all electricity within the gates?
Their hypocrisy is getting irritating.
A, it’s too cold.
B, I’m not Catholic.
How about fasting that the pope and Vatican exists for lent?
Take good care!
