Burn of the Day

I am becoming increasing disappointed. Pope Leo recently posted the following in defense of Laudato Si and environmentalism:

—–

Decem annis post #Laudatosi’. Litterae encyclicae Papae Francisci nos vocat ad renovandum dialogum de modo quo futura terrarum orbis informamus, coniuncti investigantes vias profectus, qui sustineri possit, et cordi habentes curam domus communis, quam Deum nobis commisit.

—–

I responded accordingly:

—–

Non enim habemus hic manentem civitatem, sed futuram inquirimus. Hebraeos 13:14

Caeli autem, qui nunc sunt, et terra eodem verbo repositi sunt, igni reservati in diem judicii, et perditionis impiorum hominum….Adveniet autem dies Domini ut fur: in quo caeli magno impetu transient, elementa vero calore solventur, terra autem et quae in ipsa sunt opera, exurentur. Cum igitur haec omnia dissolvenda sunt, quales oportet vos esse in sanctis conversationibus, et pietatibus, exspectantes, et properantes in adventum diei Domini, per quem caeli ardentes solventur, et elementa ignis ardore tabescent? 2 Petri 3:7 & 10-12

Environmentalismus est paganitas!

It’s not enough speak and write in Latin in order to be authentically Catholic. Furthermore, Catholics (or anyone for that matter) – whether clergy or laity – who are bone ignorant on energy production and resultant environmental impact and mortality rate per terawatt hour don’t rate having an opinion on these topics. However, that Pope Leo thinks (in Donald’s post above) the now late Pope Francis had patience, humility, and humor tells us that we are likely getting merely a smarter version of the last 12 years. Same dumb idiot ideology, but delivered in a nicer, kinder, softer, and smarter way. No thank you. Not for me. I won’t be deceived a second time.

If the constant er… backwardism of referring to the previous marvelosity of Francis continues, I agree that we are in for another kidney stone of a pontificate, but under slicker packaging.
My hope is that this is only part of a transitional mourning phase where we have to wait to speak ill of the dead. However, the comment is so far from the truth that it is disturbing. It does not encourage such hope.

Hey Leo Be in charge or quit now. No more praise of Evil Clown. Erase his memory as a bad dream and fix the ship. The last captain was trying to scuttle it.

Until the unfolding of future events, I will continue to block the refrain from “Baba O’Reilly” trying to play in my head.
