The spiritual leader of the world’s 1.3 billion Roman Catholics wants globalist organizations to police environmental policies. Though Pope Francis was too ill to attend the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, he sent the Vatican’s secretary of state to tout global governance as the solution to the so-called ecological debts that wealthy nations have racked up toward poorer nations.
“I have the honor to read the address that his holiness Pope Francis prepared for this occasion,” Cardinal Pietro Parolin told 70,000 delegates assembled in Expo City, Dubai, on December 2.
“May we be attentive to the cry of the Earth, may we hear the plea of the poor, may we be sensitive to the hopes of the young and the dreams of children,” Parolin read. “It has now become clear that the climate change presently taking place stems from the overheating of the planet, caused chiefly by the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to human activity, which in recent decades has proved unsustainable for the ecosystem. The drive to produce and possess has become an obsession, resulting in an inordinate greed that has made the environment the object of unbridled exploitation. The climate, run amok, is crying out to us to halt this illusion of omnipotence.”
