Pope Francis released his long-awaited encyclical on climate change this week – and it is causing quite a stir. In it the Pope embraces the notions that climate change is irrefutably and absolutely real – and that mankind is responsible for the problem – and can fix it. In fact, he sees it as a political problem affecting the entire globe that must be addressed on not just the individual level but more importantly on the political one.[i] Success in this fight will take a “bold cultural revolution.”[ii] While correctly arguing against some of the more egregious environmental evils of modern life such as deforestation and the monopolization of water rights, the Pope’s position takes the leftist position that would close down all debate on the subject. [This despite the revelations of just a few years back that saw massive amounts of climate data purposefully fudged to achieve the ‘proper’ result – and the fact that global warming has stopped over a decade ago.] So what’s going on here?
The Pontiff’s position seems to be heavily swayed by the radical-environmental agenda as well as Marxist-influenced liberation theology. One of his major influences is the Director of the Postdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Professor John Schnellnhuber. As reported by Geoffrey Grider in NTEB, Schnellnhuber supports an: “’Earth Constitution that would transcend the UN Charter’ along with the creation of a ‘Global Council…elected by all the people on Earth’ and a ‘Planetary Court..a transnational legal body open to appeals from everybody, especially with respect to violations of the Earth Constitution.’ The two main issues of ‘protecting the earth’ are climate change and global depopulation.”[iii] This thought pattern is right in line with the 1972 pronouncement by the globalist Club of Rome, which admits that man-caused global climate change is but a useful contrived vehicle, an invention designed to advance the agenda of world government. Here are their own words. “The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.”[iv] While Francis would not necessarily subscribe to that last statement – he’s running with the crowd that does.
In the run-up to the publication of the Pope’s paper, the Vatican held a conference on climate change which welcomed the views and influence of “vocal proponents of abortion and population control” such as “UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Professor Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University, and former Senator Tim Wirth, all of whom hold moral positions at variance with the Catholic Church.”[v] British Journalist Lord Christopher Monckton goes one further, accusing Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, one of Francis’ chief advisors on the subject, of being an “out and out Marxist who decided that climate change was useful to Marxism,” and that both Pope Francis and Bishop Sorondo were products of Latin American liberation theology.[vi] In any case, this week’s encyclical – coupled with last week’s Muslim prayer in the Vatican – make for some interesting reading. Both serve as means of advancing the cause of World Government – like the one that will be established by the Antichrist and the False Prophet.
