Pope Francis has warned “the powerful of the Earth” they will answer to God if they fail to protect the environment to ensure the world can feed its population.

“The planet has enough food for all, but it seems that there is a lack of willingness to share it with everyone,” Francis said at a mass to mark the opening of the general assembly of the Catholic charitable organisation Caritas.

“We must do what we can so that everyone has something to eat, but we must also remind the powerful of the Earth that God will call them to judgment one day and there it will be revealed if they really tried to provide food for Him in every person and if they did what they could to preserve the environment so that it could produce this food.”

I have no regard for any preacher or pope who calls Abbas “an angel of peace”! He has lost the moral authority to declare what God will judge and what he won’t. He has thrown away the salvation message of the Church in favor of food and mammon that will not save the soul. Should that the alabaster box of perfume that blessed the feet of Jesus had been sold and given to the poor?...both Judas and this pope seem to have declared so!

The Pope: Marx’s representative on earth.
