Either crazed or startled by the light

Crazed or just startled by the light?

After seeing how the Catholic media stepped over itself to hide the Pope’s welcome for a communist crucifix, and knowing that they have also done their best to cover the lies and heresy in the Laudato Si’ encyclical, why should it be surprising that its sinister contributors keep popping up?

Rorate Caeli reports:

The New Yorker published last week a long opinion piece (A Radical Vatican?) by Naomi Klein, a radical eco-feminist (and abortion supporter who has publicly disparaged pro-lifers) who was specifically invited by the Vatican to be one of the four speakers at a major press conference held on July 1 in the Aula Giovanni Paolo II, organized by the Holy See Press Office and the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace. The press conference’s goal was to introduce the international conference “People and Planet First: the Imperative to Change Course” held in the Augustinianum on July 2-3. The conference was co-hosted by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace along with CIDSE, an international alliance of 17 Catholic Development Organisations; predictably it focused to a great extent on Laudato Si. Klein also served as a panelist during the conference at the Augustinianum.

“A Radical Vatican?” is noteworthy not only as an example of how secular figures that the Vatican itself considers as allies are treating the encyclical as an epochal break from Catholic tradition, but also for its passages about the theological intentions behind the encyclical. (See below; emphases ours.) Here we find Naomi Klein quoting Fr. Seán McDonagh, who is part of the “administrative team” of the ultra-liberal and theologically dissident “Association of Catholic Priests” (ACP) in Ireland — and was involved in drafting the encyclical. McDonagh’s role in drafting Laudato Si is trumpeted not just by the ACP’s website (which calls him “one of the chief advisors to the Vatican in the composition of the encylical”) but by his own congregation (the Columbans — see this) and by Vatican Radio, which not only acknowledges that he was one of the theologians consulted for the encyclical, but also chose to interview him about its importance. (Keep in mind that it is exceedingly rare for any of the actual drafters or advisors for an Encyclical to be publicly identified by official Church sources.)

Is it a shock to find a dissident ‘theologian’ guiding this unCatholic reorientation of man and nature, weakening our natural rights against the all-powerful state?  Not in FrancisChurch it’s not.

Rorate goes on to make an analysis of Fr. McDonagh’s impact on the Pope’s hysterical manifesto.  We should expect ‘deep change.’  Communist crucifixes are the tip of the iceberg.

We have to ask ourselves now: In FrancisChuch, with error not only holding power but reigning and having sway, and a muscled-out Pope still appearing in white; what is the relationship between a Catholic united to the true Church and Francis?  What is our obligation toward this hostile coup?

Staring like silent spectators at the pillage can’t possibly be Christian.

 

This must be one of those calamities happening

This must be one of those calamities happening.

This story out of India would already be terrifying even if it weren’t Catholic.

Supporting Pope Francis’ global call for urgent action on climate change, children in New Delhi took to the streets to create awareness for the environment.

“People tend to ignore the need to preserve the environment and carry on with their lives. I hope they will take into consideration what the pope has said on the issue,” Kalpana Singh told ucanews.com.

Singh was among the 7-15 year-olds taking part in a dance event on New Delhi streets July 12 using colorful umbrellas, unicycles and holding banners, despite the heavy downpour.

Deepak, who uses only one name, told ucanews.com, that he was concerned about the increasing number of natural calamities across the world. “We have caused this harm to our mother Earth and we will have to take steps to rectify it. The sooner we start, the better.”

Why does Deepak only use one name and when am I going to get one of these calamities?  They give you weeks home from work and they bring the whole neighborhood out for barbecues.

This kind of thing is so widespread, reaching now even to the infamous pen of the replacement Pope, that it may not seem like much.  But take your mind back to when you were a child.  Only in a dystopian sci-fi novel would you have found children mouthing creepy robotic nonsense and being ordered to dance in the rain.

Pope Francis  recently released the encyclical Laudato si’ (Praise be to you — On Care For Our Common Home). Addressed to every person on the planet, the pope blamed human greed for the critical situation “Our Sister, mother Earth” now finds herself in.

“This sister now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her,” he wrote.

The better part of that ‘encyclical’ is just insulting propaganda from one acting as the Vicar of Christ.  There’s almost nothing Catholic about it.

The Earth isn’t my sister. I don’t care what St. Francis might have said.  My sister is my sister and the Earth is a planet.  Is that what it means to be religious now?  We have to say stupid things and pretend they mean something?

The New Delhi event, a part of the Pope4Planet campaign, was organized by the Church-based social organizations Caritas India, Chetnalaya and Nine is Mine.

Caritas is not a church-based organization.  It is a statist machine pretending to be Catholic. Atrocities like this don’t originate from actual people or the true Church.  They come only from governments intent on control.

More than 250 people signed petitions addressed to world leaders in the U.N. Climate Summit to be held in Paris in November, asking them to take responsibility for climate change and take steps to control it.

This Paris meeting is very, very important to FrancisChurch and its worldly accomplices.

“People are just waiting for an opportunity to do something for the environment,” Amrit Sangma, spokesman of Caritas India, told ucanews.com.

No they’re not.  They ‘re getting paid to say things like this, and kids will do anything to get out of government jail-schools, even dance around like fools in the rain.

Climate-Controlled and Environmentally Purified for Free

Defending the innocent without arms, preserving the Sistine Chapel without ‘evil capitalists,’  Michelle Malkin reveals what’s central to the new FrancisChurch Liberation Theology 2.0 namely, hypocrisy.

Unlike Pope Francis, I believe that air-conditioning and the capitalists responsible for the technology are blessings to the world.

Perhaps the head of the Catholic Church, who condemned “the increasing use and power of air-conditioning” last week in a market-bashing encyclical, is unaware of the pioneering private company that has donated its time, energy and innovative heating, ventilating and air-conditioning equipment to the Vatican’s most famous edifice for more than a decade.

That’s right. While the pontiff sanctimoniously attacks “those who are obsessed with maximizing profits,” Carrier Corporation — a $13 billion for-profit company with 43,000 employees worldwide (now a unit of U.S.-based United Technologies Corp.) — ensures that the air in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel stays clean and cool.

Last fall, Carrier unveiled a groundbreaking HVAC system for the Vatican to help preserve Michelangelo’s masterpieces against pollution caused by the estimated six million visitors who descend on the Sistine Chapel every year to see its famous frescoes.

Aren’t capitalists just people working together and agreeing to help each other in the most beneficial way they determine, independently and on their own?  Why is freedom now an evil thing?  Why are we continually being bound up in some broad of nature that compels us to obey these Mao-ist rulers?

Hasn’t the Church already ironed out our relationship to nature?  Why is everything some new, never before seen crisis?
