Pope Leo XIV calls for urgent climate action and says God’s creation is ‘crying out’
The Associated Press ^ | November 17, 2025 | BY ANTON L. DELGADO

BELEM, Brazil (AP) — Pope Leo XIV on Monday urged countries at United Nations climate talks to take “concrete actions” to stop climate change that is threatening the planet, telling them humans are failing in their response to global warming and that God’s creation “is crying out in floods, droughts, storms and relentless heat.”

In a video message played for religious leaders gathered in Belem, Leo said nations had made progress, “but not enough.”

“One in three people live in great vulnerability because of these climate changes,” Leo said. “To them, climate change is not a distant threat, and to ignore these people is to deny our shared humanity.”

His message came as the talks were moving into their second week, with high-level ministers from governments around the world arriving at the edge of the Brazilian Amazon to join negotiations.

Leo said there’s still time to stay within the Paris Agreement, but not much.

“As stewards of God’s creation, we are called to act swiftly, with faith and prophecy, to protect the gift He entrusted to us,” he said. And he added: “But we must be honest: it is not the Agreement that is failing, we are failing in our response. What is failing is the political will of some.”

Damn, I was hoping the new pope would be one I’d want to outlive me. The odds are against it.

He sure had me fooled at the beginning.
Now, not so much. He is a willing tool of the Globalists.
So be it.

Sad. Some of us had hopes for this pope, but he’s just another Pope Francis only with better English..

When a tree falls in my forest—whether or not I hear it—there will be a sound and there will, sooner or later, be a release of carbon.

It will be sooner because within a year or two (depending on the type of wood) it will be cut, split, stacked, and burned.

This is called be a CONSERVATIONIST.

He is a willing tool of the Globalists.

Which mean she is also a willing tool of the Devil. Not a good position to be in on Judgment Day.

Sorry but even a non-Catholic like myself heard long ago that Pope Francis had added people to surround him who agreed with him and that the same inner circle who voted for Francis would be there to vote for the next Pope someday.

It was all true.

A Yahoo search summary:
Pope Francis made many appointments, including appointing 21 new cardinals shortly before his death, to influence the Vatican’s future leadership and legacy.

A significant portion of the cardinals eligible to vote in the next conclave were appointed by him, a move often made to secure the future direction of the Church.

In December 2024, just months before his death, Pope Francis elevated 21 new cardinals to the College of Cardinals, most of whom were under 80 years old and eligible to vote in a papal conclave.

He abandoned his U.S. Citizenship to become a Peruvian national. Why do you suppose he did that?

The movie The Conclave about selecting the next Pope had a scene where a Bishop said: “We are not the Democratic National Convention here.”
Rejoinder: “Yes, we are.”
