I hope all do realize that "he" just connected the 'gospel' [of Rome] to the [save the] planet and environmental salvation ideology. It is nothing new with Rome, but now more prominent, and open.
"... This is why the earth herself, burdened and laid waste, is among the most abandoned and maltreated of our poor; she “groans in travail” (Rom 8:22) ..."
For in it, "he" ties the worship of the Romish Sunday [false Sabbath] and their so-called 'gospel' of religious [not secular]
], and the violation thereof, to natural disasters [called global warming, etc] and thus says to all the people of earth:
"...
This sister now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her ..."
"... Now,
faced as we are with global environmental deterioration,
I wish to address every person living on this planet. ..."
"... human life is itself a gift which must be defended from
various forms of debasement. ..."
"... Authentic human development has a
moral character. ..."
"... Our goal is not to amass information or to satisfy curiosity, but rather to become painfully aware, to dare
to turn what is happening to the world into our own personal suffering and thus to discover what each of us can do about it. ..."
"... 48. The
human environment and
the natural environment deteriorate together; we cannot adequately combat
environmental degradation unless we attend to causes related to
human and social degradation. ... Today, however, we have to realize that a
true ecological approach
always becomes a
social approach; it must integrate questions of justice in debates on the environment, so as to hear
both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor. ..."
"... Here we see how
environmental deterioration and
human and
ethical degradation are closely
linked. ..."
"... Still, we can see signs that things are now
reaching a breaking point, due to the
rapid pace of change and degradation; these are evident in
large-scale natural disasters as well as
social and even financial crises, for
the world’s problems cannot be analyzed or explained in isolation. ... “If we scan the regions of our planet, we immediately see that humanity has disappointed
God’s expectations”.
[35]"
"...
Concern for
the environment thus needs to be joined to a sincere love for our fellow
human beings and an unwavering commitment to
resolving the problems of society. ..."
"... When we speak of the
“environment”,
what we really mean is a
relationship existing between
nature and
the society which lives in it. ..."
"... We are faced not with two separate crises,
one environmental and the
other social, but rather with
one complex crisis which is both
social and
environmental. ..."
"... We urgently need a
humanism capable of
bringing together the different fields of knowledge, including economics, in the service of a more
integral and integrating vision. ..."
"... Pope Benedict asked us to recognize that the natural environment has been gravely damaged by our irresponsible behaviour. The social environment has also suffered damage. Both are ultimately due to the same evil: the notion that there are no indisputable truths to guide our lives, and hence human freedom is limitless. ..."
:... At one extreme, we find those who doggedly uphold the myth of progress and tell us that ecological problems will solve themselves simply with the application of new technology and without any need for ethical considerations or deep change. ..."
The connection of natural disasters [called "extreme weather events"] to "lifestyle" [the way one lives, ie does all things "human", such as "work", "rest", and "worship" [keep reading] and "when" they do those things according to Romish policies]:
"... A very solid scientific consensus indicates that we are presently witnessing a disturbing
warming of the climatic system. In recent decades
this warming has been accompanied by a constant rise in the sea level and, it would appear,
by an increase of extreme weather events, even if a scientifically determinable cause cannot be assigned to each particular phenomenon.
Humanity is called to recognize the need for changes of lifestyle, production and consumption,
in order to combat this warming or at least the human causes which produce or aggravate it. ..."
[Thus the mentality of Pharoah [King of the South, Daniel 11:40, Secular Humanism/Atheism, etc, Egypt being the World] is that "get you unto your burdens." [Exodus5:4] [work, work, work, and no rest, "... Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens." [Exodus 5:5]] is what is harming the environment, and so because of this supposed violation of [Rome's] "Moral" law, the false Ten Commandments of the Traditional Catechetical Formula, in "human" "lifestyle", with the [false sabbath] Sunday being violated. This will be the reason given for the repeated calls to join in the "new and universal solidarity". They have called for, and will call again for legislation in all the world [beginning in the USA first at state, local levels, then at a national level, following thereafter to all nations] to be passed to rest on Sundays, that the environment might be saved, and it will "look good" to swallow [think Genesis], but it is wickedness in disguise [think serpent], even as that messenger of light [2 Corinthians 11:14] calls for "peace, peace" when there is no peace with the violation of God's Law, Exodus 20:1-17 in the Holy 7th Day the Sabbath of the LORD thy God, and all the others. Man's law or God's Law, which you will obey? Which is sin to violate?]
"... Today, the analysis of
environmental problems cannot be separated from the analysis of
human, family,
work-related and urban contexts, nor from how individuals relate to themselves, which leads in turn to how they relate to others and to the
environment. There is an interrelation between
ecosystems and between the various spheres of
social interaction ..."
"... If everything is related, then the health of a society’s institutions has
consequences for the
environment and the quality of
human life. “Every violation of
solidarity and civic friendship
harms the
environment”.
[116] In this sense,
social ecology is necessarily institutional, and gradually extends
to the whole of society, from the
primary social group, the family, to the wider local,
national and
international communities. Within each
social stratum, and between them,
institutions develop to
regulate human relationships.
Anything which weakens those institutions has
negative consequences, such as injustice, violence and loss of freedom. ... Whether in
the administration of the state, the various levels of civil society, or relationships between individuals themselves,
lack of respect for the law is becoming more common."
"... Human ecology also implies another profound reality: the
relationship between
human life and
the moral law, which
is inscribed in our nature and is
necessary for the creation of a more dignified environment. ..."
"... Outstanding among those groups is
the family, as the basic cell of society. Finally, the
common good calls for
social peace, the
stability and security provided by a certain order which cannot be achieved without particular concern for
distributive justice; whenever this is violated, violence always ensues.
Society as a whole, and
the state in particular, are obliged to defend and promote the common good. ..."
"...
Doomsday predictions can no longer be met with irony or disdain. We may well be leaving to coming generations debris, desolation and filth. The pace of consumption, waste and
environmental change has so stretched the planet’s capacity that our
contemporary lifestyle, unsustainable as it is, can only
precipitate catastrophes, such as those which even
now periodically occur in different areas of the world. ..."
"... The mindset which leaves no room for sincere concern for the environment is the same mindset which lacks concern for the inclusion of the most vulnerable members of society. ..."
"... Disinterested concern for others, and the rejection of every form of self-centeredness and self-absorption, are essential if we truly wish to care for
our brothers and sisters and for the
natural environment. These attitudes also attune us to the
moral imperative of assessing the impact of our every action and personal decision on
the world around us. If we can overcome individualism, we will truly be able to develop a different lifestyle and bring about significant changes in
society. ..."
[ie, if anyone is seen to be going against this 'all get together' and especially the plot of protecting the environment through Sunday sacredness [rest] to be legislated by laws/government, will be seen as a "mindset" against the "common good", and eventually a danger to all, ie, "selfish", "self-centered", "self-absorbed", "individualistic", and thus a threat [terrorist/fundamentalist] to the "moral" [church] 'common good' as well as to the global commonality ["solidarity"] [state] of societal, local, National and International interests along all lines, ecological, technological, economical, etc.]
