In anticipation of Pope Francis' much ballyhooed encyclical on ecology this Thursday June 18, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has released a barrage of propaganda regarding 'climate change' and carbon pollution standards. To sum it up, they say that as Christians we should protect the environment and the gifts that God has bestowed upon us. That is correct, so far so good. They admit they aren't scientists, and that as religious men they seek the common good of humanity and God's creation. But then from there, they obviously take as a 'given' the leftist view of the global warming alarmists and promote the carbon tax agenda. As I reported earlier this year, most conservative Catholics do not fall for this carbon climate change nonsense. [Pope Francis Explains How His Climate Change Encyclical Is Being Written 1/26/15] To be honest, their rhetoric on all this carbon stuff is tedious and annoying to read. For example, in one of their documents, they state:
"The broader religious community shares a deep conviction that the issue of global climate change presents an unprecedented threat to the integrity of life on Earth..."
Very melodramatic and absurd!
As a Catholic, I wish they would put forth even one third the effort that they do addressing the EPA, Obama and Congress on 'climate change,' and instead put some of that effort into persuading Obama, the Defense Department, and the Secretary of State and Congress to stop all the unjust wars, the genocide, torture, rape of Muslims worldwide, the fracking, the GMO, the poison vaccines, the U.S. police state, and the spying, groping, and endless civil rights abuses which assault our dignity.
