Pope Francis has denounced the arrogance of those who seek dominion over nature, which leads to the degradation of the environment.
Imagine calling yourself the ‘Vicar of Christ’, a Roman Catholic title which means whoever holds that position is the personification of Jesus Christ on this Earth. Wow, how awesome that must be. You might well imagine that someone called the Vicar of Christ would be a veritable storehouse of Bible knowledge and scripture references, just like the real Jesus is in the Bible. Yet somehow, Pope Francis, the current Vicar of Christ, doesn’t seem to know any Bible at all, and when he mentions things like the Holy Spirit, they are very often in complete disharmony with the biblical Holy Spirit. It’s like walking into McDonald’s and walking out with an Impossible Burger, something just doesn’t add up.
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” Genesis 1:26 (KJB)
If you are a Roman Catholic, you must at some point come to grips with the fact that you have sworn allegiance to a man who is a New Age Gaia worshipper who is leading you into paganism. That’s exactly who Pope Francis is, the Vicar of Christ he absolutely is not. There is no such thing, in the Bible, as a ‘Mother Earth’, Paul says our mother is not the Earth, not Mary, but New Jerusalem who is the “mother of us all”. If you’re a Catholic, the Bible tells you that Mary had 6 other children, that the only mediator between man and God is the Man Christ Jesus, and to call no man your father upon the Earth. If you want to believe something, start with that.
Pope Francis Laments ‘Mother Earth Violated and Devastated’
FROM BREITBART NEWS: In his annual message for the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, the pontiff urges people of faith to embrace “creation as an earthly paradise, mother earth, which is meant to be a place of joy and a promise of happiness for all.”
Harmony among men and women “should also be extended to creation,” he writes in the message released Thursday, “in a sense of responsibility for a humane and integral ecology, the path to salvation for our common home and for us who inhabit it.”
Through sin, creation “was enslaved, albeit through no fault of its own, and finds itself unable to fulfil the lasting meaning and purpose for which it was designed,” he states. “It is subject to dissolution and death, aggravated by the human abuse of nature.”
Therefore, the Holy Spirit “continually guides us and calls us to conversion, to a change in lifestyle in order to resist the degradation of our environment,” he contends.
This conversion “entails leaving behind the arrogance of those who want to exercise dominion over others and nature itself, reducing the latter to an object to be manipulated,” he adds, “and instead embracing the humility of those who care for others and for all of creation.”
To claim the right to possess and dominate nature “represents a form of idolatry,” Francis declares, “a Promethean version of man who, intoxicated by his technocratic power, arrogantly places the earth in a ‘dis-graced’ condition, deprived of God’s grace.”
The protection of creation “is not only an ethical issue, but one that is eminently theological, for it is the point where the mystery of man and the mystery of God intersect,” he asserts. Thursday’s message is just the latest in an unbroken series of ecological pronouncements that have characterized Francis’ 11-year pontificate.
In 2015, he became the first pope in history to dedicate an entire encyclical letter to environmental issues. In that letter, bearing the Latin title Laudato Si (“Praised Be”), the pope urged Christians to become more ecologically aware and active.
The earth “is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth” as “once beautiful landscapes are now covered with rubbish,” he wrote.
Francis also decried a failure to recycle paper and other resources, while calling climate change “a global problem with grave implications” and “one of the principal challenges facing humanity in our day.” Citing “scientific studies,” the pontiff said that “most global warming in recent decades is due to the great concentration of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxides and others) released mainly as a result of human activity.”
“Every effort to protect and improve our world entails profound changes in lifestyles, models of production and consumption, and the established structures of power which today govern societies,” he warned.
This past April, Pope Francis told CBS News that climate change deniers are “stupid” to refute compelling evidence of a climate emergency.
“Some people are stupid (necios), and stupid even if you show them research, they don’t believe it,” the pontiff told CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell when asked what he would say to the deniers of the climate crisis. READ MORE
