Pope Francis will be issuing a rare encyclical on the environment and climate change next year, and it's pretty clear that his message will not be "Drill, baby, drill."
According to the Guardian story, Francis will urge "all Catholics to take action on moral and scientific grounds."
Along the lines of what he said in October:
The monopolising of lands, deforestation, the appropriation of water, inadequate agro-toxics are some of the evils that tear man from the land of his birth. Climate change, the loss of biodiversity and deforestation are already showing their devastating effects in the great cataclysms we witness.
Unlike in other matters through the many centuries, the Catholic Church has essentially accepted the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change.
But some Catholics, especially in Fox "News"-deluded America, will have none of that, at least according to one of the hundreds of Koch-funded conservatives on offer to journalists to give the polluters' point of view.
again the big money is fighting against any legitimacy of climate change because they know if they drop the fight regulations will kick in faster than they reinstated voter suppression. Koch factory smoke stacks a major polluter but it gets interesting.
Calvin Beisner of the Cornwall Alliance, a Religious Right group that specializes in promoting pollution, has been well-paid by the Kochs and other polluters to say things like this:
[to believe in climate change] "really is an insult to God ... and it will eventually lead to tyranny."
Here's what he gave the Guardian for "balance": Francis will also be opposed by the powerful US evangelical movement, said Calvin Beisner, spokesman for the conservative Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, which has declared the US environmental movement to be “un-biblical” and a false religion.
“The pope should back off,” he said. “The Catholic church is correct on the ethical principles but has been misled on the science. It follows that the policies the Vatican is promoting are incorrect. Our position reflects the views of millions of evangelical Christians in the US.”we know that evangelicals don't even teach the word of God their books have usurped that and now it's a group of their own that dictate what sermons are and what their and your kid should be taught in school basically the same as what they teach in their churches. they say hell ain't half full well those who follow them Heaven won't be half full either but hell's population will surely rise.
