"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things." Romans 1:22,23 (KJV)
EDITOR'S NOTE: Pope Francis issued an urgent plea for all world governmental leaders to "listen to the cry of the Earth". Hmm, I wonder why he would say that? Shouldn't he be urging people to listen to the commands of Scripture instead? The Bible is very clear that God will destroy the Earth by fire in the end of days, and never once tells us to "listen" to it. Another interesting item Francis said was regarding the "care of creation". I wonder if this has anything to do with the Cremation of Care ceremony at the Bohemian Grove club?
Pope Francis, who has a strong belief in the science of
climate change, called upon world leaders on Wednesday to "listen to the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor, who suffer most because of the unbalanced ecology."
In 2015, the Pope designated Sept. 1 as "a precious opportunity to renew our personal participation in this vocation as custodians of creation," framing the preservation of the environment as a moral responsibility.
Similarly, Bartholomew—who
backed Francis' 2015
encyclical on the environment,
Laudato Si—once
said:
"There has never been so much turmoil on our planet, but there has never been greater opportunity for communication, cooperation and dialogue. Basic human rights such as access to water, clean air and sufficient food should be available to everyone without distinction or discrimination. We are convinced that we cannot separate our concern for human dignity, human rights or social justice from the concern for ecological preservation and sustainability."
