Many Catholics and others were puzzled by the appearance of Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Professor Jeffrey Sachs and former Senator Tim Wirth as speakers or honored guests at a Vatican sponsored conference on global warming.
All three have spent years actively undermining Church teaching on questions of abortion and UN-style family planning, which includes active population control.

Moonman is a lightweight loser. Sachs, who I think I knew as a decent fellow at the World Bank, is now a hardcore climate leftist, and Wirth has always been a hardcore leftist since his days in Congress (he was a mental lightweight too).
What a “Three Stooges” trio of dimwits.
yep. he is south american and the lib theology is there strong.
This pope sucks.
If Jesus didn’t rise from the dead that kinda’ puts an end to Christianity, huh.
Get real. The stories of Sod n’ Gom and Noah are just allegories. Allegories for what?
Just hate speech is all. /sarc
If you’re at all interested in Catholic prophecy, may I suggest the Hollywood movie, “The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima.”(1952)
It’s a movie, so it takes some liberties with an event which occurred in 1917 in Portugal during WW I. A public miracle associated with it was reported in major newspapers, including the New York Times.
The movie does portray the Miracle, which, as I said, was a public event witnessed by all in about a 20 mile radius of Fatima. This included skeptical and unbelieving reporters, who were there because the miracle was predicted in advance.
This does NOT prophesy the major Apocalypse of the end of time.
More recently, Pope Benedict beatified an Italian nun who died in 1961 who had prophecies of a chastisement to come soon. The story is here:

Some of the quotes from the Blessed Virgin Mary gave to this Italian, Sister Aiello:
People are offending God too much. Were I to show you all the sins committed on a single day, you would surely die of grief. These are grave times.
The world is thoroughly upset because it is in a worse condition than at the time of the deluge. Materialism marches on ever fomenting bloody strifes and fratricidal struggles.
Clear signs portend that peace is in danger. That scourge, like the shadow of a dark cloud, is now moving across mankind:
Only my power, as Mother of God, is preventing the outbreak of the storm. All is hanging on a slender thread. When that thread shall snap, Divine Justice shall pounce upon the world and execute its dreadful, purging designs. All the nations shall be punished because sins, like a muddy river, are now covering all the earth.
CLOUDS WITH LIGHTNING FLASHES OF FIRE IN THE SKY AND A TEMPEST OF FIRE SHALL FALL UPON THE WORLD. THIS TERRIBLE SCOURGE, NEVER BEFORE SEEN IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY, WILL LAST SEVENTY HOURS. GODLESS PERSONS WILL BE CRUSHED AND WIPED OUT. MANY WILL BE LOST BECAUSE THEY REMAIN IN THEIR OBSTINACY OF SIN. THEN SHALL BE SEEN THE POWER OF LIGHT OVER THE POWER OF DARKNESS. Be not silent, my daughter, because the hours of darkness, of abandonment, are near.
Father Albert Hebert also wrote a book, “The Three Days of Darkness”, that includes prophecies from various saints over the centuries that allude to our time.
Finally I’ll leave you with the prophecy of Sister Jeanne le Royer (d. 1798):
Woe ! Woe ! Woe to the last century !
Here is what God wanted to show me in his Light. I began looking in the light of God, the century which must begin in 1800; I saw by this light that judgment wasn’t there, and that it wouldn’t be the last century. I considered, thanks to the same light, the century of 1900, until the end, to see positively if it would be the last. Our Lord made me know, and at the same time made me doubt, if it would be at the end of the century of 1900, or in that of 2000. But what I saw, it is that if the judgment arrived in the century of 1900, it would come only towards the end, and that if the world exceeds this century, the first two decades of the century of 2000 will not pass without the judgment intervening, as I saw it in the light of God.”
For what it may be worth to you ... and if you’re not Catholic, it may not be worth much at all; I understand.
Perhaps many might agree on this at least, that because of the long-running scourge of abortion and the more recent and ever-growing insanity of homosexual marriage, SOMETHING has got to give, and soon.
It’s all clear now
Pope Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctam: (Promulgated November 18, 1302) We declare, say, define, and pronounce [ex cathedra] that it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.
"If, therefore, the Greeks or others say that they are not committed to Peter and to his successors, they necessarily say that they are not of the sheep of Christ, since the Lord says that there is only one fold and one shepherd (Jn.10:16). Whoever, therefore, resists this authority, resists the command of God Himself. " Pope Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctam (Promulgated November 18, 1302)

Yeah, and start with the weak "home churches" and "Bible Study groups" first to set the precedent !!!
Being “subject to the Pontiff” does not include following immoral commands.
Odd, I did not see that exception stated......
Evidently not to a lot of people. I would simply repeat to Catholics "come out of her my people lest ye be partakers of her plagues".
That would be your own personal interpretation, unless you have a source for such an exception. And please don't quote scripture, as that would be your own personal interpretation as well.
Second, what gives you the right to judge the morality of a Pontiff's orders? That again would be your own personal interpretation; your opinion of his decree.
So it is your interpretation that your opinion is greater than the Pontiff's command.
Im not kidding.
They declared Adam and Eve to be "metaphors" a long time ago. Would this be any different?
Researching subjection to the Roman pontiff is interesting. It seems the prevailing Catholic interpretation is that subjection to the Roman pontiff is absolutely necessary for the salvation of Roman Catholics, but not for anyone else. This reconciles the infallible last sentence of Unam Sanctam with Vatican II.
Further research shows the commerce clause of subjugation to the Roman pontiff. "We declare that in no way do we wish to usurp the jurisdiction of the King...And yet, neither the King nor anyone else of the faithful can deny that he is subject to us where a question of sin is involved."
So if sin is involved, then the Roman pontiff rules supreme and even Kings must bow. In the life of man, where isn't sin involved? Yup, exactly like the commerce clause.
St. Robert Bellarmine, Doctor of the Church
You mean you don't know when someone is telling you to do something against God's commands? Or telling you that something that was once condemned by the Church is now not condemned?
Nope, not a bit. Incrementalism in action.
And just who determines when sin is involved and the decision is made to not have to obey the pope?
Is that made by the magisterium?
The clergy?
The individual layperson?
And on what basis? Isn’t that then all a matter of one’s personal interpretation of what sin is, based on what? Scripture? The Catechism? Trent? Who decides what to pick to listen to? On what basis? And when?
Seems to me that it becomes an individual decision, a judgment call, as it were.
