\"What's<\/a>

What’s up with Pope Francis?<\/p><\/div>\n

At the Boston Globe there is some rare good sense<\/a> injected into the frightening Laudato si’ flood of wastewater.<\/p>\n

Watch your back, Pope Francis, you have no idea what conniving charlatans thou art lying down with when you go full green.<\/p>\n

Your new flock will not settle for being junior partners. Unlike the African missions or the Home for Little Wanderers, they won\u2019t be satisfied with the take from a mere second collection. An inconvenient truth is that greedy greens grab all the gelt.<\/p>\n

Remember the Shrine of Solyndra.<\/p>\n

These sticky-fingered moonbats even have their own pontiff, Pope Albert I, patron saint of masseuses.<\/p>\n

The climate-change grifters are preaching an updated version of that old time religion. It\u2019s still fire and brimstone \u2014 a London newspaper headline Friday declared, \u201cMankind will be extinct in 100 years because of climate change, warns expert.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is one major difference between these climate-change \u201cexperts\u201d and most of the traditional clergy. The secular prophets of doom really do believe that global warming is destroying the planet, just as 40 years ago they thundered with equal fervor about the global cooling that was leading to a new Ice Age.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still about salvation, saving one\u2019s soul. Repent. Get thee to a recycling center. Separate thy trash. As in any new religion, the greens require devils to keep the credulous faithful in line. Instead of Satan and Lucifer, the fallen angels are now known as the Koch Brothers, and George W. Bush.<\/p>\n

Like Thomas Dolby, this new pope appears blinded by science, or should I say \u201csettled science.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t think the Pope is blinded by science.\u00a0 I think he’s blinded by vice; the vices of anger, jealousy and pride.\u00a0 He’s in a maniacal rush to accomplish everything he and his notorious compadres have been grumbling about for the past thirty years.\u00a0 That’s why he’s in league with Catholic enemies.\u00a0 As far as the Church goes, our Pope Francis plays to lose.<\/p>\n

To stay au courant, Pope Francis this week issued an encyclical, airily denouncing the \u201charmful habits of consumption.\u201d This goes over big with billionaires who travel in their own private jets.<\/p>\n

The pope is particularly appalled by \u201cthe increasing use and power of air conditioning,\u201d which you would think theologians would consider a blessing in this age of heat waves. Oddly, though, no mention of the pressing need for more bicycle lanes in Brookline.<\/p>\n

The last time the Vatican moved this quickly on a scientific issue was back in 1633, when Galileo was placed under house arrest for life for the \u201cheresy\u201d of suggesting that the Earth revolved around the sun, rather than vice versa.<\/p>\n

Now, almost 400 years after that scientific breakthrough, the Vatican serves up this papal hot air.<\/p>\n

\u201cHumanity is called to take note of the need for changes in lifestyle and in methods of production and consumption …\u201d<\/p>\n

After Joe Stalin once read a similarly windy sermon by an earlier pope, he famously asked, \u201cHow many divisions does the pope have?\u201d<\/p>\n

The question now is, \u201cHow many solar panels does the Pope have?\u201d Wind turbines? Priuses?<\/p>\n

On the bright side, the Pope says there\u2019s no problem that a new global \u201cauthority\u201d couldn\u2019t solve, once we create \u201cone world with a common plan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sounds very feasible. Is Bernard Cardinal Law in the house? The pope is going to need someone to run his New World Order, and the devout Bernie is warming up in the bullpen \u2014 tanned, rested and ready to go.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure Pope Francis is basking in his early rave reviews. Of course his new politically correct friends are ignoring the rest of the encyclical, which is full of what Joe Kennedy II used to call \u201cCatholic mumbo jumbo.\u201d<\/p>\n

The media are particularly ecstatic with the thought that his global warming polemics will \u201cmake for awkward reading among some Catholic Republicans,\u201d as the Guardian put it.<\/p>\n

Apparently the pope\u2019s denunciations of abortion and sex-change operations won\u2019t \u201cmake for awkward reading\u201d among Catholic Democrats.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And that is the whole point.\u00a0 The new bridled faux-catholic press is climbing and slogging through the Pope’s endless manifesto looking for catholic ideas.\u00a0 Most of these soldiers are in progress.\u00a0 They say, “I’m halfway, but I have this and this to say.”\u00a0 But the media machine will simply ignore what they find.<\/p>\n

The FrancisChurch agenda grafts leftist statism onto to a shadow Catholicism in order to ride the Church like a horse into the promised land of tyranny.\u00a0 It’s Liberation Theology for the new millennium: UN climate governance.\u00a0 The planet is a holy ecosystem and everything is Earth, is weather, is people, is poverty, is faith.\u00a0 All religions are one in God’s tender mercy, just ask oh Francis, the One.\u00a0 LoveLikeFrancis.com<\/a>!<\/p>\n

This is the crowning achievement of a consolidated world media: a manufactured cult, and not the Catholic Faith.<\/p>\n

After all, Chris Dodd et al. never seem to let the odd divorce or their support for partial-birth abortion stop them from piously taking communion at, say, Ted Kennedy\u2019s funeral.<\/p>\n

One thing Pope Francis and the tree huggers can agree on \u2014 the need of all the faithful to ride the bus \u2014 a bus without AC, needless to say.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany specialists,\u201d the encyclical notes, \u201cagree on the need to give priority to public transportation.\u201d<\/p>\n

See you at Park Street, Your Holiness!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Somehow Mr. Carr is not the same easy sell you might find say, at the National Catholic Register.<\/p>\n

I was disappointed today to see the great and brave Fr. Hunwicke echo <\/a>the infuriating sentiment of Robert George<\/a>, by calling for a docile ‘willingness to be taught’ by Francis regardless of what the hell he’s clearly peddling.<\/p>\n

I would like to make a preliminary comment. I think it becomes us all to read this Letter intending to be taught by it and by the one who sits in the Chair of Peter and wears the Fisherman’s Ring. <\/i>It is not infallible, but then, neither am I. We rightly condemn those who rubbished Humanae vitae<\/i> when it was published; and those who do not accept the binding authority of Ordinatio sacerdotalis.<\/i> We stand under our own condemnation if we treat this Encyclical with that same disrespect with which the Wolves malevolently treat the Church’s Magisterium. (This is still true, even though it is obvious that this Encyclical does not intend to impose dogma or definitively to settle a particular and precise moral question, as each of those two documents did.)<\/p>\n

If we find in this or in any other Encyclical some particular teaching which we genuinely have trouble understanding or appropriating, then, in my view, the most fitting response is simply not to talk about that particular aspect of its teaching until we do find that we can speak positively about it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know that Father’s words come with a great deal of Catholic history including numerous papal encyclicals behind them, but really, enough is enough.\u00a0 Does he see no difference between those who ‘rubbished Humanae Vitae’ and critics of this liberal high tax, big government, pro-poverty, pro-slavery, anti-Church capitulation to evil?<\/p>\n

How much Hellish misery, Church dysfunction, and heresy must we endure before we can address the problem?\u00a0 Docility before error is no virtue.\u00a0 The problems in the world come from a failure of the Church.\u00a0 That starts and ends with Peter.\u00a0 His failure is ours too since we overlook it and we carry it forward.\u00a0 It’s rooted in faithlessness, I’m sorry, I mean excess pastoralism.<\/p>\n

We simply must separate the truth from the lies all the way to the top.\u00a0 It’s no animus toward the man or the office, just the lies.\u00a0 It’s love.\u00a0 The Church’s true problems must be confronted, and gentleness won’t due.<\/p>\n

How many more generations must be laid waste?<\/p>\n
