The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development aims to send 500,000 copies of the new 'climate change' action plan book to parishes across the world.
VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — As part of its push for an “ecological conversion,” the Vatican has partnered with a Swedish climate “sustainability” group, issuing resources to tackle “climate change” which will be sent out to thousands of parishes across the world.
On February 14, the Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development joined with the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) to promote a booklet and website focusing on “climate change,” both jointly created by the Dicastery and the SEI.
The booklet is “inspired” by Pope Francis’ 2015 environmental encyclical Laudato si, and states that the encyclical “raises questions” that “are a priority for Pope Francis, the Catholic Church and all believers, the scientific community, and all citizens, as we answer the call to protect and regenerate our common home.”
Jesuit Cardinal Michael Czerny, prefect of the dicastery, which Francis created in 2017, stated that the book and the accompanying website “represent[] an important and hopeful collaboration between two great sectors: that of science, and that of faith.”
Czerny added that the joint project “invites us to come together and act on many manifestations of a warming climate and ecological breakdown, from food waste to air pollution, from water insecurity to biodiversity loss.”
The booklet itself covers topics including “climate change, biodiversity, water, food production, air pollution, sustainable consumption, and links between sustainability and social justice.”

Ecco no te absolvo!
The Church is just a political association now.
I’m so old I remember when the main warming Catholics warned about was Hell.

So, it lists as Fiction?

“ So, it lists as Fiction?”
Actually I think Fantasy would be more appropriate.
So how many defenseless trees were murdered to produce 500,000 paper books? How many thousands of gallons of petroleum were burned in transporting books all over the world? Who is going to pay for collecting all those books nobody will ever read and taking them to a landfill?
Not a Roman Catholic myself, but this makes me sad.
I know plenty of Roman Catholics who are good Christians.
