In his message to the COP28 conference, the pope underlined the need for “multilateralism” to establish “global and effective rules” to fight climate change.

“Climate change signals the need for political change. Let us emerge from the narrowness of self-interest and nationalism; these are approaches belonging to the past,” he said.

Stay in your lane, Francis. A little more focus on men's souls, and a little less socialist, climate hoax bull crap.

Not accepting the blessing of fossil fuels is also offensive to God.

Thank you for referencing that article ebb tide.

"Pope Francis to COP28: Environmental destruction is ‘an offense against God’"


What god is Francis talking about regarding environmental destruction? Can't be the same G-d that destroyed the earth with a flood.

John Paul II entered the political realm against the Soviets but he never accused those who thought differently of being sinners. I know Bergoglio despises Wotyla but maybe he should take a lesson

I’m pretty sure Frankie was referring to the pagan effigy, Pachamama, not the Living God, Jehovah. But who knows? Frankie may not even be sure, himself.

So what does the Bible actually say about this...IIRC, doesn’t God grant man dominion over the heavens and the Earth and all his creations thereon?

Isn’t that what the Pope is supposed to teach?

This pope is pure politics.

He should apply for a UN job, the politics are right up his alley.

Dear Francis. I agree that environmental destruction (i.e. destroying the natural creation of God) is an offense against God. That’s one good reason to NEVER support leftist/Communist regimes. They are notorious for environmental destruction, whereas people from all over the world come to the US to see our national parks and natural beauty.
