Francis Plops Another Stinker Called Laudate Deum

On October 3, we celebrated the Feast of St Francis of Assisi.  If anyone heard a rumble from his grave, well, there's good cause for it.  That "rumble" would have been occasioned by the release of Laudate Deum, an apostolic exhortation that is in reality nothing more than a deliberate attempt to whip up more "climate change" hysteria.  The first few verses are spent in vain attempts to breathe new life into tired, worn-out talking points regarding climate change: rising sea levels, melting glaciers, barely perceptible temperature increases and other "cries of protests on the part of the earth".  That last quote is from section 5 of this ungodly tome.  By the way - only a person can protest anything, for there must be intent to protest.  Someone close to Francis should remind him that planets are not sentient beings and such talk is indicative of sloppy philosophy and/or theology.

Big carbon footprint here!  For shame!

He also spills a lot of ink on paper as he whines that "some have chosen to deride these facts".  That's the start of his section 6-7 screed against those of us who refuse to swallow the pabulum that he and his progressive accomplices continually try to pour down our throats.  But, as they say, we encounter flak when we're above target.  This sort of sniveling is actually encouraging to read, for it means that we are having some success in thwarting their nefarious, one-world-government, new-order schemes.

In section 10, he takes some swipes against those big, bad fossil fuels.  I'm curious!  How does he think all those sin-nod delegates traveled to that carbon-footprint-increasing gab-fest?  The picture to the right (from EWTN) is that of the sin-nod in session.  You better believe the temperature is being kept at comfortable levels.  Now look at all that high-tech?  Everyone has their own tablet, and each table has four screens in the center.  Lots of electricity is being used.  Is all that power coming from windmills?  I didn't think so, either!

In section 15, we read about "irreversible effects of the climate crisis".  Francis bemoans the myth that "other creatures of the world have stopped being our companions along the way and have become instead our victims".  My!  Doesn't that just make you feel icky for being a human being?  I think that's by intent.  Again, we see the heretical personification of non-human entities.

In section 35, he shills for a one-world government.  In section 39, he lauds postmodern culture - by name!  Postmodern thinkers tend to deny the existence of objective reality and objective moral values.  And this "pope" praises that??  More commentary from LifeSiteNews. 

Let's do a word count, shall we?  Here they are!

• God - 11 times
• Climate - 33 times
• Jesus - 3 times
• temperature - 9 times
• global - 27 times
• church - 1 time
• melt - 4 times
• environment - 10 times

I could go on, but you see the priorities of this pseudo-pontificate quite clearly.
