ROME — Vatican representatives stoked fears of a climate emergency Thursday, insisting global warming is “bringing humanity to its knees.”
In a Vatican press conference to present Pope Francis’ message for the World Day of Care for Creation, Father Alberto Ravagnani said that the climate crisis is a “dramatic provocation to our humanity” because when creation suffers, we all suffer.
“The climate crisis is bringing the whole of humanity to its knees,” he declared.
The environmental question “is particularly close to the hearts of today’s young people, because the current climate crisis looms over their future and that of their children as an increasingly inescapable threat,” the priest warned.
Ecological issues are rightly included in youth ministry for the formation of the faith of the new generations, he said, because faith “kindles hope and mobilizes action, so as to generate new works for the good of the environment.”

Tax the Church!
Sad to see the Vatican engaging in this level of political tom-foolery. Too many of our high-level prelates have been captured.
IIRC-—THE CATHOLIC CHURCH WAS THE LARGEST SUPPORTER OF HUGE FAMILIES....EVEN IF NOT ABLE TO SUPPORT THE KIDS.
Left-wingers bringing the Catholic church to its knees!
One real life example?
Bingo! That Vatican gold could fund a whole lot of green energy projects.
Amen!
Globalist Papa Frank: Ignore that Bible stuff about subduing the earth and ruling over all animals and plants. We gotta save the snail dart!
Comment BUMP1. Catholic churches too and the homes of the sheep in the pews. The pope deems it. It’s for the planet. Go full TOTALITARIAN pope!
It’s Europe, they barely know what air conditioning is.
I wouldn’t be surprised to learn, some day in the future, there has been a CIA program since the 1950s to put controlled, statist, political agents into Italian seminaries - thus creating the present woke, globalist Church of today.
Its how the present Papacy and Magisterium are acting.
Maybe we should all be on our knees before a Holy God?
Of course there is no climate crisis. It is a fraud.
Yup...No birth control...temp only...stupid...it’s still preventive...aka....birth control.
It's as if they don't believe there's a God above to take care of us. Whenever I read about the Vatican being alarmists about worldly things, I wonder if they have ever read Matthew 6:26- Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
There's plenty of good reasons to be responsible stewards of the planet, but only because we love what God has given us- not because we think he has left us on our own.
Nobody’s suffering on his knees from heat where we live. Even the Biden voters are strutting around healthy, unless they have age, drug, or immune system related diseases.
Sorry Vatican, but the c.imate today is no worse than it was 50 years ago- I am not crippled by it, it hasn’t affected me one iota nega5ively, and in fact is actually nicer today than in the past, but I fully expect it to get colder again and the NATURAL CYCLICAL WARMING EVENT subsides just ,ike it always did..
The Vatican should focus on religion and leave God to deal with nature as he always hasà
The Pope is just another globalist world leader.
the pope probably made his career on his knees
