The Sixth forum of the “Laudato Si’ Communities” was held in Verona, Italy, earlier this month. This is a series of meetings devoted to propagating Pope Francis’ views on what is called “the climate emergency.” This latest affair was called “Doubling the Commitment.” This was a reference to Francis’ new exhortation, Laudate Deum, in which he warns us that the end is near, both for “our suffering planet” and, by extension, for us. He struck the same note in his opening video message to the Verona meeting, warning that it’s “a very difficult time” and that “within 30 years the...

Any Catholic—lay or cleric—who enters Freemasonry, incurs automatic excommunication. Canon 2335.The following are more excerpts to illustrate...
