Pope Francis Calls on Nations to ‘End the Era of Fossil Fuel’
Breitbart ^ | 08/30/2023 | THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.

Posted on 08/30/2023 9:19:41 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

ROME — Pope Francis has doubled down in his personal war on fossil fuels while condemning “extreme practices” such as fracking.

It is time world leaders to “listen to science and institute a rapid and equitable transition to end the era of fossil fuel,” the pontiff urges in his message for the Feast of Creation, to be celebrated on September 1.

It is “absurd to permit the continued exploration and expansion of fossil fuel infrastructures,” he insists. “Let us raise our voices to halt this injustice towards the poor and towards our children, who will bear the worst effects of climate change.”

Of course the end of fossil fuel will happen eventually, but pushing it now like crazy is for the purpose of crushing liberty forever. And killing off a majority of the population in the process.

The Pope is a cheerleader to unprecedented mass murder.

HIS Church is made up of believers, and isn’t a specific denomination.

EVery time they do, just pray for the HOly Spirit to smack him upside the head with Grace.

That works for me instead of rolling my eyes.

I miss Papa Benedict.

Ask the pedearast, communist Pope what are we to use to make medicines, all plastics, paint, tires, glues, contact lenses, batteries.... ?

Such a pathetic, communist homosexual running the Catholic Church.

Uh.....pretty SURE HE GAVE PETER, THE FIRST POPE, THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM AND ESTABLISHED THE CATHOLIC CHURCH......PROTESTANTS JUST WANT TO CLOSE THEIR EYES AND EARS TO THAT FACT.
I THINK ALL BELIEVERS CAN GET TO HEAVEN...BUT MUCH QUICKER IF YOU RECEIVEHIM IN HOLY EUCHARIST.

What would Pope Urban II say?

Obviously, he would be all for the erf saving 15-minute cities. You know, being Urban and all.

Hey Frankie, how about ending the era of pedophile priests. That’s a real problem, not a contrived one.

I ask again, does this man ever preach about Jesus Christ and the need for all to turn from their sins and become Christians? No, I didn’t think so.

Maybe someone should preach to HIM about turning to Jesus, because he clearly hasn’t.

I’m not a Protestant, I born and raised on the south side of Chicago, in your typical Irish Catholic Parish, and had 16 years of schooling at Catholic institutions. I didn’t leave the Catholic Church, it left me when they made a hard turn to the left and embraced the social justice nonsense. They don’t have the inside track to heaven.

Nobody who follows Jesus follows the Vatican anywhere. We know it’s origins and who it serves. Hint, it’s not God and never was.

Stop yelling with the all caps. Also, you aren’t helping your position by hurling insults.
