Laudato Si and the oblivious Catholics who love it

The world is spinning over Laudato Si.  Some are cheering and practically dancing in the streets over it.

From what I see on Twitter and in the blogosphere most Catholics and environmentalists are oozing with sheer joy over this encyclical.  They seem oblivious to what it is proposing to the entire world.

From the Anchoress's post entitled "Laudato Si: All of our sin, All of our hatred on trial": 

Some are not so thrilled and are asking “How binding is this on Catholics?”

In other words, “can we disregard it entirely?”

Over at the Remnant, columnist Chris Jackson has decided to “disregard”it and he’s written a fabulous and humorous (in my opinion) piece about why he is dismissing this encyclical and why he thinks others should as well.

Personally, I don’t think it matters who decides to “disregard” this encyclical because the damage is done. 

Disregarding it won’t change anything. 

The people who accept it are the ones who are going to change things.  And now that the Pope has sent this out into the world, there is no taking it back. 

As I said in my previous post HERE what troubles me the most is the pope pushing for a global One World Authority to police the entire world over the issue climate change.  I haven't seen anyone on Twitter or in the blogs (besides myself) mention this part of the encyclical (if others have PLEASE share a link, I'd love to read your thoughts).  

All the Catholics out there who think Laudato Si is wonderful and it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, think for a moment what YOUR life would be like if the world embraced Pope Francis’ idea of a One World Authority.

What if this authority were to resemble a nation…oh, let’s say like China.  And this One World Authority has decided that women can only have one child- all other pregnancies will be forcefully terminated because this One World Authority has strict population control laws that it enforces on the entire globe.  No more big Catholic families!  Still loving Laudato Si?

How would you like such an authority killing your children?

Or perhaps this authority would resemble nations like Belgium and the Netherlands where euthanasia is legal and used to dispose of humans other people don't want?  If such a One World Authority decided people with illnesses and handicaps were depleting the world of a resource they could effectively kill human beings to save the “fragile planet” (Laudato Si #16) Pope Francis is so concerned with.

How would you like such an authority killing your loved ones or yourself because this authority decided the environment was more important than your life or the life of one of your loved ones?

Or how would it be if the United Nations became the One World Authority on the environment and they decided to enforce birth control on nations that had a higher population of poor people. 

Think the United Nations wouldn't love to have the power to police the entire world and dictate their plan of population control?  Right now all they can do is make proposals and attempt to sway nations- if given the power to police, there would be no stopping them. 

How would you and your family like to be forced against your religious beliefs to use birth control?  Forced sterilization procedures?  Still feeling warm and fuzzy about the Pope’s suggestions to the world?

Ok, how would it be if the One World Authority were one single individual like…Margaret Sanger who decided black people and people in poverty were not worthy to take up space on our earth? 

If you or one of your loved ones fell into one of those categories how would you deal with it?  Still warm and fuzzy over this encyclical? 

Does ANYONE honestly think a moral, trustworthy person or institution will police the world? 

Population control supporters have been working at gaining such a power for decades and Pope Francis has just handed it to them on a silver platter called Laudato Si with oblivious Catholic’s smiling and bobbing their air filled heads at it with no thought at all to what such power in the wrong hands would do to people. 

Think people!  Open your eyes to what is going on in the world!  

I know everyone is sick to death of the term “slippery slope” but remember how that works when you have corrupt radicals as a majority deciding laws (abortion, gay marriage, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, cloning etc).  You can’t possibly believe a One World Authority policing the entire globe is a good thing. 

I can’t believe anyone is that dumb. 

In Christ,

Laudato Si: One World Authority Wrapped in a Papal Bow

Laudato Si ... what beast has Pope Francis created with his Laudato Si?

Does he know?  Was it intentional?

Does it even matter any more?

To give a quick summery of what I am talking about, I refer to Michael Voris's (Church Militant) "Breaking Report- Papal Encyclical A First Look".

Where Michael says Laudato Si "is not binding" on Catholics.

I don't think he's right about that - I HOPE he's right about that, but sadly I don't think he is.  Here is my comment on his website explaining why I think Voris might be wrong.

#15 from Laudato Si, states:

       "15. It is my hope that this Encyclical Letter, which is now added to the body of the Church’s social teaching, can help us to acknowledge the appeal, immensity and urgency of the challenge we face. I will begin by briefly reviewing several aspects of the present ecological crisis, with the aim of drawing on the results of the best scientific research available today, letting them touch us deeply and provide a concrete foundation for the ethical and spiritual itinerary that follows. I will then consider some principles drawn from the Judaeo-Christian tradition which can render our commitment to the environment more coherent. I will then attempt to get to the roots of the present situation, so as to consider not only its symptoms but also its deepest causes. This will help to provide an approach to ecology which respects our unique place as human beings in this world and our relationship to our surroundings. In light of this reflection, I will advance some broader proposals for dialogue and action which would involve each of us as individuals, and also affect international policy. Finally, convinced as I am that change is impossible without motivation and a process of education, I will offer some inspired guidelines for human development to be found in the treasure of Christian spiritual experience."

If that is true, its not the worst of it- at least in my opinion.

The worst part is Pope Francis telling the world we need  ONE GLOBAL AUTHORITY TO RULE OVER EVERYONE on the environment.

177. Given the real potential for a misuse of human abilities, individual states can no longer ignore their responsibility for planning, coordination, oversight and enforcement within their respective borders. How can a society plan and protect its future amid constantly developing technological innovations? One authoritative source of oversight and coordination is the law, which lays down rules for admissible conduct in the light of the common good. The limits which a healthy, mature and sovereign society must impose are those related to foresight and security, regulatory norms, timely enforcement, the elimination of corruption, effective responses to undesired side-effects of production processes, and appropriate intervention where potential or uncertain risks are involved. There is a growing jurisprudence dealing with the reduction of pollution by business activities. But political and institutional frameworks do not exist simply to avoid bad practice, but also to promote best practice, to stimulate creativity in seeking new solutions and to encourage individual or group initiatives. 

And the Pope is suggesting that such an Authority be unchanging...

181. Here, continuity is essential, because policies related to climate change and environmental protection cannot be altered with every change of government. Results take time and demand immediate outlays which may not produce tangible effects within any one government’s term. That is why, in the absence of pressure from the public and from civic institutions, political authorities will always be reluctant to intervene, all the more when urgent needs must be met. To take up these responsibilities and the costs they entail, politicians will inevitably clash with the mindset of short-term gain and results which dominates present-day economics and politics. But if they are courageous, they will attest to their God-given dignity and leave behind a testimony of selfless responsibility. A healthy politics is sorely needed, capable of reforming and coordinating institutions, promoting best practices and overcoming undue pressure and bureaucratic inertia. It should be added, though, that even the best mechanisms can break down when there are no worthy goals and values, or a genuine and profound humanism to serve as the basis of a noble and generous society. 

Folks this is NOT good news...it should be terrifying if you take a moment to look into the future of such a global power.

Here is my comment left on Church Militants website:

The days of worrying over whose statistics say what about climate change are over.

How many people think nations will willingly hand over such power to ONE AUTHORITY on earth?  Some will, most won't.  Even if its 50%/50% it will mean WAR.

As I said in the above statement... Pope Francis has just founded the tool to a One World Authority and he's wrapped it in a Papal Bow.

Pray Catholics, pray for the salvation of souls - and a pope with wisdom and foresight- we need it- badly.


In Christ,
