Actor-turned-California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is pro-abortion and pro-gay “marriage,” spoke at a Vatican press conference Tuesday welcoming Catholics’ contributions to the environmental movement.
Schwarzenegger spoke at a Holy See Press Office press conference ahead of the “Raising Hope for Climate Justice” conference to be held in Castel Gandolfo on October 1-3, when more than 1,000 political and religious leaders as well as “climate experts” will gather, according to Vatican News.
Numbering the Catholics and priests worldwide, Schwarzenegger said, “Imagine the power of communication that we have with that many people getting involved. Every single one of those 1.4 billion Catholics can be a crusader for the environment.”
“I’m so excited … that the Catholic Church and the Vatican are getting involved in this because we need their help,” he continued.
The upcoming climate conference, at which Pope Leo XIV will speak, celebrates the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato si, which stokes fear over “climate change” theory and supposedly dire consequences of failing to take drastic measures to fight such change.
The conference will launch the “Laudato Si’ 10” pledge by which attending parties will specify their plan to “fulfill the vision and mandate of the 2015 papal encyclical,” according to Lorna Gold, executive director of the Laudato Si’ Movement.
Schwarzenegger affirmed his commitment to furthering the “climate change” cause before the press conference, telling Vatican News, “God gave me this gift that can communicate the issue; I have the will, and I can see it, and I will do everything that I can to make this a better world.”
The Vatican under Leo has thus far wholly embraced Francis’ focus on climate change and “care for creation,” having issued a votive Mass inspired by Laudato Si, and opened an ecological training center on the grounds of the papal villa in Castel Gandolfo.
Schwarzenegger’s invitation to the Vatican continues the tradition of both Leo and Francis of hosting or meeting with pro-abortion and pro-homosexuality public figures and clergy.
As former governor of California, Schwarzenegger clearly affirmed his support for legal abortion and for embryonic stem cell research, and he has a heavily pro-LGBT history as well.
n 2013, he vowed to fight the reinstatement of traditional marriage in California, and he had previously officiated at two homosexual “weddings,” signed bills forcing schools to promote homosexuality, and signed legislation recognizing out-of-state homosexual “marriages.”

Ah nold, is a opportunistic pig. Everything he has ever done is measured on popularity or filthy lucre. He never worked on his logic portion of the brain, only leaning on the emotional.
And that’s the standard bearer of the modern papilcy! An lib drug using adulterer!
He’s also an adulterer, don’t forget.
I wish the Church would stick to saving souls, leave the other stuff to the politicians.
Screw your rights. (To life?)
You aren’t making jest of your Popes’ Encyclicals are you ebby? Should we start with the diminished Pascendi Dominici gregis?
If you're talking about Heretic Jorge's "Laudato Si", yes, I am.
A direct answer. I’m having fainting spells. Very good, ebby.
Trust Burke.
Let’s see if you can go two in a row. Are you an SSPXer? Not an admirer from afar; a dyed in the wool member?

No, Arnie ... if you want to worship the "pack-yo-mama", that's your deal ... but I don't recommend it. Idolatry is a mortal sin.
Meanwile, I'll be a crusader for Our Lord.
Praised be Jesus Christ!
Perhaps he was blessing the ice so it could melt and become holy water and baptism water. What’s the source of holy water in the Catholic Church? Never even thought about it till now.
Thanks for the ping. WOW.
Those documents deserve to be ridiculed. And so do these latest antics from Francis II.

When was the last time you went to a sacramental Confession?
Trust the Church.
You - “Trust the Church” that you lambaste daily??? Coming from you is that a joke, irony, sarcasm, general abuse of language? That sounds like a true confessional item for you, ebby.
When was yours ebby? Was it with a priest not in material schism with the Church - meaning not SSPX, or without proper faculties or recognition with the Vatican?
Seeing that it is now October, mine was last month.
No thanks. I just ate dinner.
