ROME — Vatican Cardinal Michael Czerny insisted Tuesday there is no place for discussion with those who doubt or deny the “climate crisis.”
Over the past seven years, “the environmental crisis of our common home has worsened drastically,” declared Cardinal Czerny, who like Pope Francis is a member of the Jesuit order.
The cardinal’s words came during a presentation in the Vatican of a new documentary film celebrating the pope’s “great encyclical letter Laudato Si,” a 2015 text dealing with care for the environment and the climate crisis.
“Apocalyptic floods, mega-droughts, disastrous heatwaves, and catastrophic cyclones and hurricanes have become the new normal in recent years,” Czerny said, and tomorrow, “they will get worse.”
“From climate disruption and environmental degradation flow loss of lives and livelihoods, forced displacement, and violent conflict,” he added.
“Clearly, the great treasure of Laudato Si’s wisdom needs to become far more deeply known and effectively put into practice,” he said.
In the course of his presentation, the cardinal insisted that what is needed to effectively combat the climate crisis is inclusive “dialogue.”

Reformation 2.0 anyone?
“Climate change denial now a ‘mental condition’”

I seem to recall an important conversation about Climate Change 2000+ years ago. It took place in a boat and a Man declared that the climate is in Gods hands without mentioning greenhouse gases at all. I believe in Him rather than the horde of grant hungry “scientists” and politicians.
They cut off the Vatican Bank from the SWIFT system.
Rumor is that’s when Pope Benedict had to go.
Also one of the many reasons why the BRICS countries are desperate to flee the dollar system, it is a weapon of the “reserve” currency.
>> there is no place for discussion with those who doubt or deny the “climate crisis.”
There’s a crisis in the Church, and it’s not the “climate”.

He’s not a theologian. His PhD is from Chicago in interdisciplinary studies-—his academic specialty is social justice, and he’s a Jesuit.

Too bad their science is as misinformed as their doctrine
as very few people have fallen off the edge of the Earth
... I wanted to comment that, to the best of my knowledge, no Pope ever endorsed the "flat earth" theory. The ancient Greeks proved pretty conclusively that the earth was a sphere. Only the size of the sphere was a matter of argument. This was well-known in the Greco-Roman world and since then.
The topic of heliocentricity vs. geocentricity is much more complex than the simplistic "Pope was wrong, Galileo was right" barroom sneer would allow. For one thing, modern physics will tell you that are no fixed frames of reference, so you can center your coordinate system anywhere you like.
Why would you make someone a Cardinal who doesn’t have an STD (doctorate of Sacred Theology) degree? You’re right; he’s not a theologian.
He’s very multi-national, and has put in decades in the curia. I’m not saying this is a good reason, but it is a reason.
