Sin has lost it’s value. Can’t believe this is happening to the Church, this man has made a mockery of our faith.

He's more of a Pantheist than a Catholic, I think.

If God didn’t want humans to use carbon, it would have been substituted with a cleaner fuel.

You feel there is no particular moral issue with dumping a few tons of battery acid and sewage into the nearest river?

1 John 3:4 “Sin is the transgression of the law”.

Deu 12:32 All the things I command you, be careful to do it. You shall not add to it, nor take away from it.

But socialism is a economic and political system built upon the direct violation and destruction of three of the Ten Commandments: lies, coveting and theft. The progressive issue of “climate change” is but a tool to manipulate people into accepting socialistic government policies that have the effect of reducing liberty, reducing prosperity, and enlarging government power, cost and size.

Just think of all the CO-2 those candles have put out over the centuries.

The Vatican should be shut down at once. Think of the carbon footprint.
