Pope Francis turned his attention toward global warming during the “World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation” of 2016. Somehow, he managed to make it a matter of religion, too.
In his remarks, he called global warming “a sin” and offered Catholics ways in which they could repent for their contributions to greenhouse gas emissions.
That’s where things got really bizarre. Environmentalism is one thing — but to call excessive paper usage a sin for which one must repent?
See the Pope’s list of ways to combat the sins of global warming on the next page:
Wendy, I would like to add…I know you are probably thinking of more use of mass transportation, more bicycle use, etc. I agree to some point on those, but there is a no the side to this whole picture that a lot of people are overlooking. Populations that are less dependent on public transportation, i.e. cars, and scattered thru out the United states (rural areas). are much harder to keep “Government Control over”. Notice how many restrictions are being used against our private rural lands and restrictions on more and more recreationAL activties, forcing us into cities and congested areas. Closer together, easier to control. On ” self driving cars, can you say, “RETRIEVABLE JAIL CELLS!
Thank you. Sad part is, a lot of people think we all think like him…NOT TRUE.
Daniel. I agree 100% , and I am Catholic. I hope to God, he is not doing this to get more money from the ” Global Liberal Elites, to compensate all the money being used for the past cover ups of lawsuits filed because of priest abuse.
I agree whole hearteadly, but the term “weather”, can not illicit emotional feelings from the extreme Liberal brainless amonst us, to fall for another Global Elitest Program to extract more tax money ( via another mandated program)from us, the unwilling electorate
Oh dear!!
What a joke, let’s just stick with Almighty GOD’S Definition in the Holy Bible, His Written Word, Sin is the transgression of the Law( God’s Spiritual Law, The Ten Commandments)!!! Now Mr Pope, please show all of us exactly where “Global Warming ” case closed Thank God, we have His written word and do not have to depend on fallible self-serving political views of flawed men!!!!!
This guy is ramping up his comedy relief.
F**k this douche canoe.
F Off
Ok read the whole thing. Headlines on Facebook usually have nothing to do with the point of the article
