The faux-scientific ranting of his Laudato Si Manifesto betrays a contempt for man&#8217;s true dignity, for his freedom, life, family, and material possessions.\u00a0 Earth-worship and materialistic communism are one and the same. They share a spirituality founded on something that is inevitably dirt, on death.<\/p>\n<p>The faithful pundits have responded with measured council to overlook the lies and accept the truths in the Pope&#8217;s letter, but doing so accomplishes little because FrancisChurch is all about hyper-propaganda.\u00a0 Faithful Catholics are just in the way and will be ignored, managed.\u00a0 The steamrollers will flatten Christian men and women like so many unarmed Chinese hoping to save their homes.<\/p>\n<p>Francis doesn&#8217;t care that you&#8217;ve parsed his encyclical according to what is doctrine and what is fancy.\u00a0 He&#8217;s treating the whole thing as if its the God&#8217;s truth and asking the entire Catholic world to spend a day begging forgiveness for<em> sins against creation.\u00a0<\/em> What was an erroneous encyclical now becomes a day of Earth-supplication.\u00a0 What will happen next to all the other days?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Pope Francis said Christians want to make their special contribution to safeguarding creation, but to do that they must rediscover the spiritual foundations of their approach to earthly realities, beginning with an acknowledgment that \u201cthe life of the spirit is not dissociated from the body or from nature,\u201d but lived in communion with all worldly realities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s telling that the Pope&#8217;s call for our debased communion with the Earth coincides with his push to profane true Holy Communion.\u00a0 FrancisChurch points down.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The ecological crisis, he said, is a summons \u201cto a profound spiritual conversion\u201d and to a way of life that clearly shows they are believers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We must believe and demonstrate our belief here to something akin to animism in order to now be &#8216;Catholic.&#8217;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Quoting his encyclical, he said, \u201cliving our vocation to be protectors of God\u2019s handiwork is essential to a life of virtue; it is not an optional or a secondary aspect of our Christian experience.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Behold a definitive statement of Francis&#8217;s anti-doctrine.\u00a0 He isn&#8217;t specific here about acts we must perform or avoid, but he is clear about the obedience we must show.\u00a0 For specifics, just read <em>Laudato Si<\/em>. In the mind of Francis, its commands are neither &#8216;optional&#8217; nor &#8216;secondary&#8217;\u00a0 but &#8216;essential to a life of virtue.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>If you are still perplexed the new Church of the world will show you how to comply.\u00a0 Witness <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WPMMIXASNt0\" target=\"_blank\">California<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As the hollowed-out spaces of Catholic Churches fill with worldly prayers for communism and environmentalism, we are required to make an inhuman submission like the Christian bowing before the Islamist&#8217;s knife.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not just a matter of disjointed papal sermons or misguided encyclicals. We must be made spiritually smaller, be degraded to accept FrancisChurch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since Pope Benedict abdicated due to weariness and in the stated belief that someone, anyone could do better than he could, we have been treated to one unthinkable and outrageous papal crisis after another, the most frightening being the unified hurricane of worldwide media spin behind Francis.\u00a0 That enormous roar is the sound of money, <span class=\"ellipsis\">&hellip;<\/span> <span class=\"more-link-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/?p=4692\" class=\"more-link\"><span>Read More &rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[59,617,505,491,19,618],"class_list":["post-4692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-communism","tag-day-of-prayer-for-care-of-creation","tag-environmentalism","tag-laudato-si","tag-pope-francis","tag-sin"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4692"}],"version-history":[{"count":57,"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4692\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4750,"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4692\/revisions\/4750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stumblingblock.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
