Remember when Earth First put this farce before us almost twenty years ago?
At that point, I thought nothing could get more silly with these envirowhackos. Once again, I am reminded how they can plunge to greater depths of inanity and mental vacuity. In the name of "climate change, Pope Leo XIV blessed an oversized ice block! This was done at some "raising hope for climate justice" gabfest at Castel Gandolfo. Apparently the water is supposed to bless and heal us as it melts, dribbles all over the place and makes a soggy mess. After all, creation awaits our conversion, you know. Well, how about converting to the One True Faith and to make it our mission to get to heaven? A quick review of the Baltimore Catechism should clear up any questions on that point.
After the pope was finished, a long blue cloth was passed through the audience and participants flapped and waved it as a hymn was sung, honoring...(wait for it!) Laudato Si! What else? I read several posts about this embarrassment to the Catholic faith, and one sage individual said that this blessed-ice-block business was quite reminiscent of the pachamama debacle in the Vatican gardens. Truly it was a gross display of idolatrous virtue-signaling, but I'm at a loss to determine what virtue was signaled.
During that same gabfest, Leo went on to criticize common-sense people as those who have "chosen to deride the increasingly evident signs of global warming..." Well, count me as one of them. When ice cubes are "blessed" and people sing about "climate change", that makes evident that for too many in the Church, apparently including this pope, that environmentalism is becoming a de facto religion. This is idolatry, sin against the First Commandment, just as was the pachamama in the Vatican gardens and even in St Peter's Basilica.
By the say, how did the participants travel to this "raising hope" farce? How many private jets flew in for this thing? I'm sure they didn't come by horses or sail boats!
By the bye - remember Cool Hand Luke? How about..Cold Hand Leo?
