Vatican’s official newspaper promotes call to ‘fast’ from fossil fuels during Lent

L’Osservatore Romano interviewed a leader of Italy's Laudatory Si' Movement who urged Catholics to practice 'fasting from gas' during Lent for the climate.

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.

Anyone else tired of virtue signaling elites lecturing us on fossil fuel use while they fly around on their private jets?

There’s no such a thing as a fossil fuel.

Leftists should reduce their CO2 emissions to 0.

The Church of Lucifer is becoming more paganistic.

The economic and physics ignorance expressed by the Vatican and the Pope is so profound that there are no words in the English language that come close to expressing its depth.

“”There’s no such a thing as a fossil fuel.””

Exactamundo! Titan is a large moon orbiting the gas giant Saturn. There are OCEANS of hydrocarbons on Titan. It rains hydrocarbons on Titan. I sincerely doubt that ancient dinosaurs and savannas created these hydrocarbons on Titan.

Furthermore, Japan’s Hayabusa2 spacecraft returned samples from an asteroid. Guess what? Yes.... Hydrocarbons! So unless ancient flying dinosaurs, en masse, flew into outer space, and settled, formed fossils on asteroids, hydrocarbons are just part of the universe. Some far thinking individuals talk about using Titan and asteroids as a fuel station for future travel and exploration.

We have only drilled a few miles into the Earth. We already have found thousands of years worth of hydrocarbons. The more we drill and explore, the more we find. The more we use, the more the plants thank us, because C02 is PLANT FOOD! You could say that hydrocarbon users are the ones really making the planet green.

I created an Excel program and proved it mathematically.
And that is why math is racist.

Vatican Calls for people to freeze and starve to death. That sounds evil enough to come from them.

Commie Pope should worry about souls. But he wants to worry about Gaia. What a disgrace.

What about fuels that come from the fermentation of sugars? Jorge used to serve those fuels in cocktail glasses.

Well, people not going to church should reduce contributions considerably. Foot, meet bullet.

The photo of earth which is at the top of this article, I wonder which side is an honest representation of what earth actually looks like.
