US Catholics ready to follow Pope's 'marching orders' on climate change
MSN news ^ | June 18, 2015 | Suzanne Goldenberg

Leaders of the Catholic Church in America took their “marching orders” from the Pope’s encyclical on Thursday, fanning out to Congress and the White House to push for action on climate change.

The high-level meetings offered a first glimpse of a vast and highly organised effort by the leadership of America’s nearly 80 million Catholics to turn the Pope’s moral call for action into reality.

“It is our marching orders for advocacy,” Joseph Kurtz, the president of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Archbishop of Louisville, said. “It really brings about a new urgency for us.”

The hierarchy has been infiltrated by evil. They are now involved in politics that will destroy the economy of the US and allow outright theft.

You need to correct that to state liberal Catholics - not all Catholics.

I’ll follow the pope’s “marching orders” on this when I see him climb aboard a sailing ship for his next visit to the U.S.

They are acting as agents of the devil. The Pope has been turned and millions will die if he is successful in instituting a world government that will shut down progress and will allocate scarcity.

She we see Catholics stop going and giving money, then we will believe it.

If they sprung into action that quickly, they were activists waiting for marching orders long before this guy became Pope.

Just like Protestant churches and their followers regarding homosexual “marriage,” not all Catholics will follow the Pope’s ideas with this particular issue. We’ve had worse popes, and we will survive this one.

If Joseph Kurtz believes those are his marching orders, then he and any other lemmings are perfectly free to follow them right over the cliff into historical oblivion-but I won’t, and I don’t know any other Catholics who will...

The majority of the Catholic denomination, ARE liberals, and vote democrat.

The Pope knows what he is doing, and how this keeps Catholics supporting liberalism, and democrats.

Ted Kennedy's send off, as King of the Catholics.

“You need to correct that to state liberal Catholics - not all Catholics.”

I did not blame Catholics, liberal or otherwise. Almost all Catholics are moral people.

The hierarchy has been infiltrated by evil. There are those among the Bishops, Cardinals and the Vatican who are spreading evil.

The Pope is trying to remain relevant to new generations that have been raised without any faith, and “the environment” is easy. Nobody will propose deliberately destroying the Earth, and people on their fifth marriage after abandoning four other wives and families, as well as people that have aborted multiple children, can recycle their cans and pretend they are “good”...
