Shrinking Minority is Hoarding Wealth, Power, Cardinal Says
The Catholic Sun ^ | 5/30/23 | CNS

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — People of faith and those working in the fields of science, economics and politics need to work together to help care for life and humanity’s common home, said Cardinal Michael Czerny, prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development.

“Principles of interconnection and co-responsibility frame the climate as a common good and the planet as our common home. The call to protect, care and regenerate it must be a priority for everyone, regardless of one’s belonging to this or that religion or none at all,” he said May 23.

“Important contributions include the scientific consensus, inspiration, introspection, careful consideration of what has to change; political commitment to coordinate these changes; religious inspiration, motivation and orientation; and popular movements from below to care for both our most vulnerable siblings and our common (home),” he said.

The cardinal spoke at a round table discussion titled, “Hope for the Earth. Hope for Humanity,” sponsored by the dicastery in collaboration with the Swedish Embassy to the Holy See as part of Laudato Si’ Week May 21-28.

Pope Francis highlighted the start of the week after praying the “Regina Coeli” with visitors in St. Peter’s Square May 21, inviting everyone “to collaborate in the care of our common home. There is such a need to put our capabilities and creativity together!”

The Church needs to stay in their lane. And if they’re worried about hoarding wealth, maybe we should tax the Church.

This is the way of progressivism. The solution - apparently - more progressivism.

What a monkey. Doesn’t know his Christian history at the practical level. Why didn’t Islam prosper? Where are their advancements and achievements? They haven’t progressed and are thusly the monopolizing gang who control poverty, illiteracy and unemployment.
But it’s western European Christian man’s fault?

The G7 nations prospered for one reason, their common thread in Christianity. They are the same guys whose forefathers rode together on the crusades against the murderous Muslims.

The guy’s not a pastor, he’s a sociologist in drag.
