Is this a new Catholic Church? Wait, I don’t see kneelers.<\/p><\/div>\n

At ‘Blog for Dallas Area Catholics’ Tantumblogo has no illusions<\/a> about the origins and ends of the Global Warming offense.<\/p>\n

Some of the very, very first laws the Bolsheviks put into effect upon taking power in the former Imperial Russia were laws not just allowing, but encouraging divorce, contraception, and abortion. \u00a0Why in heavens\u00a0would that be one of their earliest moves? \u00a0What could they possibly have to gain from diabolical efforts? \u00a0Control.<\/p>\n

The left, most admittedly in its pure and distilled form of communism, but in all its forms, seeks to control people on a level never dreamed of by the most benighted despots of the past. \u00a0They seek not just control over \u00a0your political activities, or your economic life, or of your social involvements, but all these things plus much more besides. \u00a0They seek to control your inner thoughts and your relationship with God. \u00a0The left, as I have argued many times in the past, is ultimately at war with the Christian God and has been for hundreds of years.<\/p>\n

How is religion most intimately and effectively communicated from one generation to the next? \u00a0The family. \u00a0How can the left ever pry us stubborn God-botherers away from our magic talks with God unless they destroy the family and stand up the state in its stead? \u00a0And how can one destroy the family, anyway? \u00a0Well\u2026\u2026turning sex into a competitive sport and loosing all the checks and balances God provided on human reproductive behavior was, and remains, a great place to start. \u00a0So you legalize divorce, fornication, contraception, and especially baby murder, and go from there. \u00a0As we have seen in this country, a few decades of such legalization will lead society to the precipice of self-destruction. \u00a0And even after the regime that foisted such evils on the people goes away, the evils remain for decades after. \u00a0Witness Russia today, with still one of the world\u2019s highest abortion rates, and general death-wishing nihilism driving incredibly high rates of alcoholism and drug addiction, producing one of the lowest life expectancies for men of any largely developed nation.<\/p>\n

Communism is nothing if not relentless. \u00a0They tried the direct method of competition with the more capitalist West and failed. \u00a0So now they are trying manifold other, less obvious but more insidious methods, like cultural marxism and environmentalism. \u00a0But these replacements are no different from their predecessor, and contain all the same assumptions and desires that the old Soviet state did \u2013 total control over the lives and thoughts of everyone on earth, the destruction of the family, the \u201cdeath\u201d of God. \u00a0Cultural marxism and environmentalism are of course as tied up in the sexular pagan death cult as the most fire-breathing Bolshevist of Stalin\u2019s days.<\/p>\n

Which brings me to the main point \u2013 this recent highly publicized and very important \u201cclimate conference\u201d or \u201cconference on sustainable development\u201d at the Vatican<\/a>. \u00a0Yes there have been highly unfortunate flirtations with the left wing socialists at the UN and in the environmental movement by the Vatican before, but never with such official approbation, and never with so much influence on official papal documents of doctrinal import. I say influence, because the Vatican itself widely reported that the meeting between Pope Francis and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, as well as the entirely one-sided conferences organized by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, were oriented towards providing input for the upcoming papal encyclical on \u201cclimate change\u201d and sustainable development. \u00a0As I noted in the link above, the conferences featured some of the most prominent pro-aborts and population control zealots in the world today. \u00a0That pro-abort maximalists like Jeffrey Sachs (abortion on demand at public expense and without apology) were given a platform to speak \u2013 even if \u201conly\u201d on a subject intimately related to their population control obsessions, \u201cclimate change\u201d and sustainable development \u2013 is hugely scandalous in its own rite. \u00a0But to openly tie this platform with the upcoming encyclical is completely unprecedented.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can read the rest here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This ugly unity between the worldwide Left and the NewChurch, emerging at Benedict’s abdication, and clear since Francis walked out on the balcony; is impossible to ignore.\u00a0 It is not the place of the Christ’s Bride to collaborate with these actors and enable their murderous worldy goals and frauds.\u00a0 That is simply not Catholic.\u00a0 It’s the opposite.<\/p>\n

What do we do with this encyclical then?\u00a0 What will it mean for our Church?<\/p>\n
