Pope Francis,
began his 192-page “Lettera Enciclica,
Laudato Si’ del Santo Padre Francesco Sulla Cura Della Casa Comune,” by
quoting a St. Francis d’Assisi canticle, and by saying that we are abusing and
irresponsibly using “our sister Mother Earth, which sustains and governs us and
produces diverse fruits with colourful flowers and herbs.” www.speciali.espresso.repubblica.it/pdf/laudato_si.pdf/
On page 5 he
continues with, “Ogni aspirazione a curare e migliorare il mondo richiede di
cambiare profondamente gli ‘stili di vita, i modelli di produzione e di
consume, le strutture consolidate di potere che oggi reggono le societa.” As I
translate, “Any aspiration to care for and improve the world requires changing profoundly
life-styles, the patterns of production and consumption, the established
structures of power that today govern society.”
I have heard these words before written in the 40-chapter U.N. Agenda 21
document signed by 179 countries in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro and repeated by
subsequent Rio conference participants and advocates who really want to destroy
capitalism. Here’s a quote by Christina Figueres, Executive Secretary of U.N.’s
Framework Convention on Climate Change, in which she admits that environmental
activists and lobbyists aim to destroy capitalism, not save the globe from
ecological Armageddon.
"This is
the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task
of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic
development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the
Industrial Revolution"

To accelerate our compliance with United Nations demands on greenhouse gas emissions, Congress was informed in a CRS report on June 29, 2015 about the dangers of increased atmospheric CO2, even though, lost in the report is the following statement, “The atmospheric CO2 concentration was however higher in Earth’s more distant past (many millions of years ago) at which time paleolithic and geological data indicate that temperatures and sea levels were also higher than they are today.”

To accelerate our compliance with United Nations demands on greenhouse gas emissions, Congress was informed in a CRS report on June 29, 2015 about the dangers of increased atmospheric CO2, even though, lost in the report is the following statement, “The atmospheric CO2 concentration was however higher in Earth’s more distant past (many millions of years ago) at which time paleolithic and geological data indicate that temperatures and sea levels were also higher than they are today.”
The objective of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) is to “stabilize carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere at a
level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the Earth’s
climate system.” To the U.N., according to this CRS report, “stabilizing carbon
dioxide concentrations implies zero net emissions.” (Jane A. Leggett,
Greenhouse Gas Pledges by Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change, Congressional Research Service , R44092, June 29, 2015)
As Leggett explains in the footnotes on page 2 of the CRS report, the
UNFCCC’s covers only greenhouse gases influenced by human activity but implicitly
includes gases that occur naturally and human-related such as CO2, methane,
nitrous oxide, manufactured gases such as hydroflourocarbons (HFC),
perfluorcarbons (PFC), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), nitrogen trifluoride (NF3). Cloroflourcarbons
(CFC) are apparently covered under the 1985 Vienna Convention to Protect the
Stratospheric Ozone Layer and the Montreal protocol. http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R44092.pdf
Quoting Patriarch Bartholomew on page 8, Pope Francis said that “by
being human we are destroying the biological diversity of God’s creation, we
are compromising the integrity of the planet, we contribute to climate change,
deforest the earth, destroying its humid areas.” We are committing sins because
“a crime against nature is a crime against ourselves and is a sin against God.”
The 15-page preamble asks on page 13 for a “new universal solidarity.”
The following
chapters deal with water, human life quality, social degradation, inequality
on the planet, the greening of society,
environmental justice for the poor, reproductive health, country
inequality, poor countries of the southern hemisphere, universal communion, the
common destination of goods, the
human root of ecological crisis (read man-made), crises and consequences of the
modern Anthropocene, the need to
defend work, social, environmental, cultural, and economic ecology, ecology of daily life, the principle of the common good, justice through generations, sustainable
agriculture, protection of natural resources and water, replacement of fossil fuels with renewables,
Rio +20, the Rio Declaration of 1992, reparations
for poor countries for the environmental damage caused by developed
countries, etc.
These
paragraphs are obviously an abbreviated and religiously-tinged regurgitation of
Agenda 21 goals as spelled in the 40 chapters of the U.N. Agenda 21 document
signed in 1992 by 179 countries.
A dialogue
between religion and science is proposed on page 152 because the majority on
the planet view themselves as faithful. It is thus imperative for religion to
enter the dialogue of curing nature, of abolishing
poverty, and of building a network
of respect and fraternity.
It is vital for
education and spiritual ecology to
merge together, he said, but to do so we must create change in our excessive consumerism, our collective egoism, and in our sense of
precariousness and insecurity. We
must strive for the common good, he
added. The Christian community and churches have an important role to play in
this educational change to form and educate the masses for responsible austerity, to cure poverty, and to care for the
environment in this ecological
conversion. (p. 163)
With all due
respect to his Holiness and the church, this document reads just like any other
communist-based environment manifesto and is full of transparent communist jargon
(especially the bold-faced words) promoted and supported by various United
Nations-affiliated environmental NGOs.
We already
have an environmental Constitution for the world, The Draft International Covenant on Environment and Development (DICED).
I spoke at length about some of the
79 articles of DICED in my book, “U.N. Agenda 21: Environmental Piracy.” http://www.amazon.com/U-N-Agenda-21-Environmental-Piracy-ebook/dp/B009WC6JXO/ref=sr_1_1_twi_2_kin/183-4301922-3525013?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1436019246&sr=1-1&keywords=UN+Agenda+21%3A+Environmental+Piracy
But having
his Holiness support the goals of the climate change industry, gives their
entire agenda a new and powerful façade.
The papal encyclical
“Laudato Si” published on May 24,
2015 ends with a beautiful Prayer for our
earth on page 184 and with a Christian
prayer with the Creator on pages 185-187.
When Pope
Francis asked on page 123, “What type of world do we wish to leave for our
children who are now growing up,” it is clear to me what type, it is global
communism ordered around the redistribution of wealth and around a one-world
government under the guise of planet stewardship.
