Title: Pope Francis warns of destruction of Earth's ecosystem in leaked encyclical

Pope Francis will this week call for changes in lifestyles and energy consumption to avert the “unprecedented destruction of the ecosystem” before the end of this century, according to a leaked draft of a papal encyclical. In a document released by an Italian magazine on Monday, the pontiff will warn that failure to act would have “grave consequences for all of us”.

Francis also called for a new global political authority tasked with “tackling … the reduction of pollution and the development of poor countries and regions”. His appeal echoed that of his predecessor, pope Benedict XVI, who in a 2009 encyclical proposed a kind of super-UN to deal with the world’s economic problems and injustices.

According to the lengthy draft, which was obtained and published by L’Espresso magazine, the Argentinean pope will align himself with the environmental movement and its objectives. While accepting that there may be some natural causes of global warming, the pope will also state that climate change is mostly a man-made problem.

You don't get to be the GOP presidential candidate, without being a REAL Republican.

You don't get to be Pope, without being a REAL Catholic.

OK?

Well, in both cases you have a hijacking of the original item.

The GOP is jacked. The Vatican hijacked Christ's Gospel AND good name ("Vicar of Christ"?? I don't think so. Never was.)

Clever observations :-)

The pope should have been upset about the movie not "God's" global weather change!

Proving that when you're an anti-Christ masquerading as "Pope," the fidelity of Scripture doesn't even register.

Has it ever been fully explained yet why THIS Pontiff suddenly replaced the former before his demise?

Unlike JP I who died within 30 days or so of his office, Benedict did not get the poison tea. I think the movie godfather III tried to link all the Vatican bankster stuff and the death of JP I. Or as in the movie we have this:

Maybe Benedict knew the deal on that and avoided his evening tea and just stepped down.

I could not find a good youtube link for the part of gF III where the Pope dies 'in his sleep.'

Almost 60% of Congress is Protestant. There has only been one Catholic POTUS. You are correct about SCOTUS, it has six Catholics and three Jews. But SCOTUS is not an elected body, at least not directly so.

Have you a source for your In-Name-Only stats?

Listen -- ALL that matters is ALL that affect us is RIGHT NOW. As well as the decisions made by SCOTUS and this corrupt globalist-hijacked gubmint since 1965. NO real Christian has been part of those decisions to destroy this republic and run God out of Dodge.

Can you tell me how in the world a nation whose majority identify as "Protestant" have ZERO Protestants out of NINE on SCOTUS??

Right -- SCOTUS is NOT an elected body but the only one of three bodies of government that aren't, but raqther assigned by the behind-the-scene POWER BROKERS and Puppetmeisters.

About 92% of COngress is Christian. Catholics represent about 30% of the U.S. population, Pressies about 60%. Both Pressies and Catholics are slightly over represented in Congress vis-vis their respective makeup of the U.S. population. The only truly over represented religous group in Congress are Jews, with only about 2% of the U.S. population over 7% of Congress is Jewish.

You know who's actually "over-represented"?? Socialists; "Catholics-IN-Name-Only"; Pro-Abortionists; Secular Humanist elites; Lesbo & Sodomites; Atheists; New Age freaks; and those who hate the USA and God.

Yes, ostensibly -- although, these ghouls are "Catholic and Jews" IN NAME ONLY; The reality: They are Secular Humanists wearing masks.

Moreover, these political allies (who join Atheists, New Agers, and Greens) have been allies of convenience with a shared agenda. Their goal (since post WWII) has ALWAYS been to remove fundamental Christianity (disciples of Sola Scriptura) and its tenets from positions of power in order to usher in their globalist One World Gvt.

Yes indeed the Pope should know man did not create this world. We are subject to the laws established by our Creator. To think we have 'climate change' all figured out with about 100 years of data is insane.

Amen!

THIS Pope is as much an authority on science -- as well as the word of God -- as 0blabla is an authority on the Constitution. Coincidence??

Be mindful of THIS disclaimer noted by the polling company and "religion" statistics:

Although identifying as religiously unaffiliated does not necessarily mean one is atheist, politicians may be wary about such an association. About half of Americans (53%) say they would be less likely to support an atheist for president.

So in other words, politicians most likely lie about their "religious affiliation " and pencil in "Christian" when they are NOT. No big surprise there.

As I stated, the justices of the Supreme Court are not elected but appointed by elected representatives of We The People (POTUS propose, Congress disposes).

No, SC Justices are appointed by PRESIDENTS and their respective cabals and staffs based on nothing BUT shameless potential corruptible principles. Congress is then bribed, coerced, or otherwise shamed into approving said appointments.

You fail to realize that "THEY" are what pass for mainstream Christians these days and have a different view of the tenets of Christianity than you or I. I include the Pope in the current mainstream category.

"Mainstream" Christianity is a compromised river of polluted Christianity diverted to Hell.

I'm pretty sure we had the discussion before the 2014 elections so I know the numbers have changed somewhat, just not sure by how many.

Just because someone claims to be Catholic, Baptist etc, etc, doesn't mean they actually are, most of them probably pick/say what they think their constituency will vote for.

I remember that when you enlisted in the military and they asked you what religion you were and you didn't know or didn't care to share, you automatically became a PROTESTANT and that is what went on your Dog Tags!!!

So I guess my question is would a truly religious person do the things our politicians do with legislation that only benefit themselves and their ambition for power??? (They're knowingly screwing their constituency/fellow man all so they can feel good about themselves). I was under the impression that the word of God meant you are supposed to act in a way that benefits everyone??

If this isn't true then there are a lot of people ignoring their faith by voting for these jokers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fact is that over 90% of Congress identify themself as Christian.

Bruce Jenner "identifies" as a "woman"; There's white NAACP leader who now "identifies" as "black." Suddenly down is up and wrong is right?

Congress (as a group) is demonstratively un-"Christian."

You unilateally changed the discussion by introducing yor biases and beliefs.

"Biases and beliefs" based upon scriptural truths are what traditionally have guided us to discerned right from wrong in THIS country. Am I wrong?

Now that the truth is blurred by personal "identification," and truth as well as "right and wrong" is now relative. No wonder this nation swirls us down the john like yesterday's morning deuce.

Yup, I think you're right on the content of that discussion.

On the subject of "religious affiliation," it means NOTHING these days. Any "Christians" who voted for 0blabla, Klinton, or Pelosi are only kidding/lying to themselves.

Comparing McStain to Cruz is insane.

Like Obama, they're both foreign born and ineligible to be president of the US.

At least McCain had two US citizen parents, whereas Rafael only had an American mother. Raffie Sr. didn't bother to become a US citizen until around 2005. He was in no hurry to renounce his allegiance to Fidel and the Communist party. Teddy Cruz is doubly ineligible like Obama, foreign parent and foreign born.

Don't worry the Democrats don't give a damn about the Constitution either, so that old thing won't stop anyone from becoming president of this NWO banana republic.

No they don't.

So are they lying to themselves? Their constituents? God? Or...ALL of us??

Well the ones who run on Christian worldview values should be voting that way. Period. And I am not talking about theocracy here. I'm talking about promoting the Christian worldview of morals and life issues.

Yet there are those who say they are Christian but apply compartmentalization.

Compartmentalization is an unconscious psychological defense mechanism used to avoid cognitive dissonance, or the mental discomfort and anxiety caused by a person's having conflicting values, cognitions, emotions, beliefs, etc. within themselves.

Compartmentalization allows these conflicting ideas to co-exist by inhibiting direct or explicit acknowledgement and interaction between separate compartmentalized self states.

For example, the politician who professes being a Christian yet is pro-choice and uses the excuse that they 'cannot impose their moral standards on others.' Yet they vote for pro-choice type legislation or are 'indifferent' to the issue.

Such an approach can be explained as someone who is a new Christian and still developing their worldview; are not familiar with the Scriptures and are beginning their discipleship. Such need our prayers, their church teachers and pastors to lead them to the truth.

On the other hand you have those who self identify with a Christian worldview yet have been vocal advocates for abortion and have a voting history which is pro-choice. Such is the example of compartmentalization. Or worse open deception.

Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. (Psalm 62:1-2)

Yes there is a transformation of heart and mind, but some of our old understandings and ways must be 'worked out' in the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. Proper personal study, prayer and growth in the faith along with proper church discipleship and mentorship leads a new believer to the truths of God.

This is why you see quite a few young in age or new adult Christians grapple with issues such as abortion. Some have been programmed from childhood outside of God's Truth.

So the above I would consider before applying the litmus paper:)

And we should always remember, even the most hardened pro abort types like Nancy Pelosi by God's Grace and for His Glory can become a child of God. God works wonders and usually on the most hard cases...Saul of Tarsus included in that as well.

Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. (Psalm 62:1-2)
