So the article is a lie then. OK. Not going to waste my time reading a Pope's encyclical . . . I'm Presbyterian. I have been watching this guy and I continue to hold my opinion that he is evil. Anybody that espouses support for socialist/Marxist ideals, along with taking a hard stand on the global warming hoax, using his position of leadership in the church to do so, certainly deserves the title "evil". Those principles which he supports is antithetical to the Bible's portrayal of man as a free moral agent. Jesus did not chase the Rich Young Ruler down when he turned and walked away. Furthermore, it is a highly suspicious occurrence that a Pope with such views was installed after the first Pope resignation in 500 years. I firmly believe he is a plant. From what I have seen, he seems to have some highly questionable views.
I was just talking with a Catholic friend who knows a whole lot more about the international Left than I do. She says she can see the fingerprints of "United Religions" and "Agenda 21" are all over this thing. I'm doing a little research about this online: some say the Pope's diplomatic efforts are heavily influenced by the Sustainable Development Goals (an Agenda 21 project) --- which, among other things, is dominated by neo-Malthusians.
To quote Michael Matt: "The Mystery of Iniquity is at hand, and anyone who tells you he has it all figured out is either lying or insane. We must neither panic nor despair but rather watch and pray for Pope Francis even as Christ prayed for Peter—that ‘his faith will not fail him.
If Pope Francis is in fact leading things astray to this extent, I'd want for him what I'd want for my own self under the same circumstances: a timely and repentant demise, and a merciful judgment.
