Pope Leo May Be the Most Radical Pope Yet

Almost Heaven

Well-known
Pope Leo XIV met Arnold Schwarzenegger at the papal summer residence, and then urged the green faithful to undergo a “true ecological conversion” and to “listen to the cry of the Earth.”

The new pope quoted his predecessor’s condemnation of climate unbelievers who have chosen to “deride the evident signs of climate change” and “ridicule those who speak of global warming”.

Then he blessed a chunk of ice.

The elevation of environmentalism to the level of doctrine, the pseudo-pagan deification of the earth and the implication that those who do not believe in the environmental movement are heretics who need to undergo a conversion “that transforms both personal and communal lifestyles” which he equated to a conversion to Christianity and the claim that failure to participate in made it impossible for anyone to call themselves “disciples of Jesus Christ” were radical positions, but the real radicalism lay in the infrastructure of leftist political organizing.

Sounds pagan as all get out to me...and completely missing the focus of Jesus' great commission:

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.


Matthew 28:19-20


There's an attempt to deal with the symptom of the human heart rather than the cause..... sin.

The ONLY way to solve this problem is not to distract from the foundational sin problem with environmental crusades, but with the Gospel that one is saved by believing in Jesus. That's what transforms hearts. A heart filled with God's Spirit ultimately affects families, communities and can also help the environment as spirit led hearts work for the good of those around them.

Even so, the Disciples did not harp on environment causes.... it was faith in Jesus, faith in Jesus and more about the need to place faith in Jesus.

They were so changed by the Gospel truth, they didn't even give attention in scripture to the despots of their time. And this echoed Jesus' focus in His earthly ministry:

And this is the will of him [God the Father]that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son [Jesus], and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:40

The Gospel was THE most important subject, because the Disciples knew without a shadow of doubt the awesome, glorious future ahead for those who believe in Jesus....period. With a fabulous environment included.
 
Listen to the cry of the earth ..... OK

Bet he doesn't mean this

Romans 8:19-22

19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope

21 that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

or this

Genesis 4 10-11
10 The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.

11 Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

or this:

Isaiah 24:
3 The earth will be completely laid waste
and totally plundered.
The Lord has spoken this word.


4 The earth dries up and withers,
the world languishes and withers,
the heavens languish with the earth.

5 The earth is defiled by its people;
they have disobeyed the laws,
violated the statutes
and broken the everlasting covenant.
 
I had to look this up. The photos of him blessing the ice - and that he could keep a straight face doing this is funny and scary at the same time. This is the last days pope.
LOL and if he isn't, the next will be worse just as I thought Pope Franny the last was a pretty good fit for the job of False Prophet. Just when you think you've hit rock bottom, boom and there's a level below that!
