Pope Benedict XVI: we must all go green to save the planet

He said people needed to change how they live their lives and called for "ecological responsibility" to be taught in schools.....

Will check your link out later.

Did you forget??? . . . . that I went through . . . in a thread . . . in table format . . . the Pope’s encyclical before this last one . . . certainly paragraph by paragraph where it wasn’t line by line.

In spite of my dramatic flare and hyperbole . . . I’m not really that concerned or interested in polemics. I thought you knew that.

I’m interested in THE TRUTH—WHATEVER THE TRUTH IS.

I think polemics are much more the turf of those who wholesale blackwash or whitewash things out of personal bias.

[Quix]

The devil takes them up to a high place and unlike the Lord Jesus, they all say “Yes

##

Sure appears that way far too often.

[Quix]

LOL.

You do satire very well. I’m sure you know that.

BTW,

One of the significant movers in the UN for a PEACE movement and for a USA PRESIDENTIAL CABINET OFFICE FOR PEACE

was a friend of mine as the hubby of a wife who was a counselor with me in Taipei. They were both in a church I attended there for years.

At one point, on my way back to the USA, I stayed with them in Hawaii for a week overlooking Diamond Head . . . and he commented at one point that he didn’t even know if he believed that Jesus was God. And he was on the board of the local Methodist church! God have mercy.

Thankfully, his family reported that he did make things right with God before he graduated form this life some years later.

This whole movement has been orchestrated by the oligarchy from the git-go . . . in the face of every oligarchy generated World War . . . they have played all ends against the middle for a variety of purposes.

Peace is hard to knock. Everyone wants peace . . . particularly . . . as Shrillery says . . . for the children.

[ColdWater]

Is that really what he said or is it Nick Squire’s spin on it?

He also called for an end to war ....

[FR_addict]

Instead of ecological concerns, the pope should be talking about slavery still existing in many parts of the world, the abuse of women and children in many nations, letting the government be our brother's keeper rather than the responsibility of the individual.

I'd rather breath the air in the USA than most places in the world. We have done a lot to stop pollution in this country. We have some of the cleanest air in the world, but the pope isn't distinguishing between the chicken little global warming crowd and true environmental stewardship.

[The Comedian]

You nailed it Quix.

No surprise there.

Now observe the glory of the massed papists descending upon you to punish you for the unpardonable sin of stating the obvious...

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[Quix]

You are a kind treasure, as usual.

Thanks tons.

I would prefer dialogue. However, if all I can do is sound the alarm, that I’ll do.

Thankfully, Prottys have thicker hides.

And Dispensationalist Pentecostals, the thickest of all.

INDEED.

THX.

[1000 silverlings]

well some are trying

[Poe White Trash]

And who gets to decide if the natural resources are being overseen with justice and wisdom?

Good question.

[Norman Bates]

Good conversation.

[GenXFreedomFighter]

If you mean by ‘evolution’ the theory that man evolved from the apes, I don’t know when Pope Benedict made a statement accepting that. Do you have a link? What do you mean by ‘gay rights?’ If you mean gay marriage, neither he nor the Church can endorse that. It’ll never happen.

[Poe White Trash]

He's NOT championing capitalism nor private property nor anything else but the new paradigms.

He's certainly not championing capitalism and free markets. BXVI is consistently anti-communist AND anti-capitalist.

Solidarity, imho, is a straw dog. It's a false milk sop.

Subsidiarity is worse. "Authentic human development" is worst of all.

[Quix]

I’m actually very much for people expressing themselves.

Thankfully, this woman was fully clothed and a lot more interesting and entertaining than . . . wellll . . . anyway.

[Quix]

LOL.

I knew I’d messed the word up/gotten it wrong.

I wanted to get back to a bed building project.

The oligarchy wholesale controlled left has whined about “code” words of the “Vast Right Wing . . .”

They began using them first. Check out the quotes in link in my tagline. They began using them 100 years ago.

Nice sounding idealism in code . . . when they were even then planning on mass murder.

Authentic Human Development . . . into slaves to worship satan and die at his whims and the whims of his stooges.

Great “Authentic Human Development,” that.

These idiots think God doesn’t exist or doesn’t care or is merely another ‘also ran’ ET.

God must be laughing His head off, when He’s not crying.

Sigh.

[Quix]

Trouble is, as he must know . . .

the oligarchy is foisting on us all . . . a bastardized version of Communism wedded to a bastardized version of monopolistic Capitalism.

And far too many of his words and phrases are signaling just the sort of thing they are foisting on us.

Mystifying.

Ain’t Treason sooooooo [UN]wonderful.

[Poe White Trash]

Don't forget Dante. Or Kant. Or Wendell Wilkie's _One World_!

My hunch is that "authentic human development" is BXVI's attempt to sneak Teilhardism in via the back door of integralism. But that's just a hunch.

[Quix]

More than a little plausible.

Thanks.
