Pope Francis on Global Warming: ‘Time is Running Out!’
Citing a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Pope Francis said in a speech today “that only one decade or so remains in order to achieve this confinement of global warming.”
“Dear friends, time is running out!” he said.
“The climate crisis requires ‘our decisive action, here and now’ and the Church is fully committed to playing her part,” the pope said.
“A significant development in this past year was the release of the ‘Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels,’ by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,” the pope said. “That report clearly warns that effects on the climate will be catastrophic if we cross the threshold of 1.5ºC outlined in the Paris Agreement goal. The report warns, moreover, that only one decade or so remains in order to achieve this confinement of global warming.”
He was addressing attendees at a Vatican meeting called “The Energy Transition & Care of Our Common Home.”
The pope said this meeting focused on three points.
“Your meeting has focused on three interrelated points: first, a just transition; second, carbon pricing; and third, transparency in reporting climate risk,” the pope said.
By “carbon pricing” the pope explained that people must pay more now for energy.
“Second, carbon pricing is essential if humanity is to use the resources of creation wisely,” the pope said. “The failure to deal with carbon emissions has incurred a vast debt that will now have to be repaid with interest by those coming after us. Our use of the world’s natural resources can only be considered ethical when the economic and social costs of using them are transparently recognized and are fully borne by those who incur them, rather than by other people or future generations.” See more here
Vatican Whistleblower Claims Rector of Washington, D.C. Basilica Is a Member of the ‘Gay Mafia’
Vatican whistleblower Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò claimed over the weekend that while he was the papal nuncio to the United States, he saw “documentation” alleging that the rector of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., sexually molested male students at the Catholic University of America.
“Monsignor [Walter] Rossi is, without a doubt, a member of the ‘gay mafia,'” Viganò told Italian journalist Marco Tosatti on Saturday, bolstering George Neumayr’s hair-raising reportage on the “Gay Mafioso” in the American Spectator. The former nuncio said the fact that Rossi’s name was once proposed for a promotion to bishop “shows how the ‘gay mafia’ operates. “
Viganò went into hiding last August, in fear for his life, after accusing Pope Francis of covering up sexual misconduct in an eleven-page bombshell letter. Almost a year later, much of his powerful testimony has been vindicated.
The archbishop came out of hiding last week to give interviews to the Washington Post, Tosatti, and LifeSite News.
In a series of emails with the Post, he accused Pope Francis of lying in denying knowledge of the sexual abuse allegations against now-defrocked cardinal Theodore McCarrick and said Francis, as well as his predecessor Pope Benedict XVI, must come clean about what they knew about the alleged abuse.
Viganò said it was “immensely sad” that Francis was “blatantly lying to the whole world to cover up his wicked deeds.” He also reiterated his claim that a “corrupt gay mafia” is running the Church. Read more here
NJ Bishop Reassigns Gay Priest Caught in Risqué Photos Scandal
Reassigned? The pervert should be ousted!
PATERSON, New Jersey (ChurchMilitant.com) – A McCarrick-ordained New Jersey bishop has moved a homosexual priest caught in a risqué photos scandal to a new parish.
On June 13, Bp. Arthur Serratelli of the diocese of Paterson, New Jersey reassigned Fr. Marcin Bradtke to St. Virgil in Morris Plains. He had previously been assigned to Our Lady of the Lake in Sparta. An unpublicized change, however, has Bradtke instead moving to St. Pius X in Montville, a parish with many youth ministry programs (predominantly for grades 9–12). Those programs include monthly meetings, feeding the hungry, caring for those with AIDS and HIV, and retreats with overnight sleep-aways.
In January, Church Militant reported on Bradtke’s homosexual relationship with Fr. Dulibber Gonzalez, publishing selfies of the two cuddling and kissing in the rectory at Our Lady of the Lake parish.

After Church Militant’s report, Serratelli appeared at Bradtke’s parish posing in public photos with the priest, appearing in a show of moral support. Parishioners who have spoken with Church Militant have expressed frustration with Serratelli’s inaction against the priests, with one active parishioner quitting and leaving in disgust.
Gonzalez continues as a parochial vicar at St. Therese Parish in Succasunna. The parish has a school (Pre-K and K-8), a Religious Education program for children and a vacation Bible school. Read more here
Pope Francis: “We are called on to consider Muslims as partners to construct peaceful coexistence with”
“We are called on to dialogue with Muslims to build the future of our societies and our cities,” said the Pope.
Yet this dialogue has been going on for years, and has not saved a single Christian from persecution by Muslims, or prevented a single church from being destroyed by Muslims. In fact, it has had no effect at all, except to make its Christian participants feel good about themselves, and to prevent them from discussing the Muslim persecution of Christians at all.
Yet the Pope still touts it as the solution to all our problem, and the Catholic Church vilifies, demonizes, and ostracizes anyone who objects to this willful ignorance.
“Leave them; they are blind guides. And if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15:14) Read more here

French priest defrocked for abusing Scouts in landmark case
PARIS (AP) — France’s Catholic Church pronounced a priest guilty of sexually abusing multiple Boy Scouts over several years and defrocked him Thursday, an unusually strong move that reflects France’s growing reckoning with clergy sex abuse.
The ruling by a church tribunal was the latest development in a case with repercussions that reached the highest levels of French Catholic leadership and the Vatican itself. The priest, Bernard Preynat, already confessed to abusing Boy Scouts during the 1970s and 1980s.
Preynat is believed to have abused as many as 85 boys and faces trial in a French court next year. The church tribunal said its internal investigation found he committed “criminal acts of sexual character against minors under 16.”
The tribunal gave the maximum punishment allowed under church rules, stripping the priest of his clerical status. Citing repeated abuse and the large number of victims, it said Preynat abused his church-conferred authority as a Scout leader.
He has a month to appeal the decision. Read more here
Vatican Cemetery to Be Searched for Remains of Missing Girl
VATICAN CITY (ChurchMilitant.com) – Two tombs in the Vatican will be opened next week in the hopes of finding the remains of a girl missing for decades.
Emanuela Orlandi was 15 years old when she went missing in central Rome in the summer of 1983. Her father, Ercole Orlandi, was a lay official at the Vatican. She remains missing to this day.
In March, a lawyer for the family received an anonymous letter indicating that Emanuela’s remains can be found at the Teutonic Cemetery — a small graveyard on the grounds of Vatican City, so named because German and Austrian priests and religious have been buried there for centuries.
“Last summer, I received an envelope,” the lawyer, Laura Sgrò, told NBC News. “I opened it and there was a picture of the statue of an angel in the Teutonic Cemetery inside the Vatican. And a letter that simply said, ‘If you want to find Emanuela, search where the angel looks.'”
The Vatican announced on Tuesday that two tombs in the Teutonic Cemetery will be opened, in response to the anonymous tip. Members of the Orlandi family will be present for the opening, as will relatives of the people who were known to have been buried in those spots.
Remains found in the two tombs will be subject to DNA testing, as well as tests determining their age. Read more here

Pope Francis to Celebrate ‘Mass for Migrants’ in Vatican
ROME — Pope Francis will celebrate a “Mass for Migrants” on Monday July 8 to commemorate the sixth anniversary of his visit to Lampedusa in 2013.
“In memory of the 6th anniversary of his visit to Lampedusa, on Monday, 8 July, the Holy Father Pope Francis, will celebrate a Mass for Migrants, at 11:00, in St Peter’s Basilica,” a Vatican communiqué said Monday.
The announcement of the pope’s Mass comes just days after a major stand-off between the Italian populist government and the German NGO Sea-Watch, which illegally docked at Lampedusa to disembark the 42 African migrants it was carrying. The NGO vessel was subsequently impounded, and the ship’s captain, Carola Rackete, arrested.
The Vatican said that around 250 people will participate in the papal celebration next week, “among whom will be migrants, refugees and those who are dedicated to saving their lives.”
The Vatican also underscored that the Mass will be private and is not open to journalists or others who have not been invited.
“Taking part in the Mass, presided over by the Pope at the Altar of the Chair of St Peter, will be only those persons invited by the Migrants and Refugees Section of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, to whom the Holy Father has entrusted the organization of the event,” the communiqué stated.
“While Vatican Media will provide a live broadcast of the Mass, the presence of the press in the Basilica is not anticipated,” the text added.
“The Holy Father desires that the moment be as recollected as possible in the remembrance of how many have lost their lives fleeing war and misery, and so as to encourage those who strive day after day to sustain, accompany and welcome migrants and refugees,” the statement said. Read more here
If you go to the store to buy Meat, don't run to the Milk section or the Junk Food aisle looking for it!!
The Meat Section is the True Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Milk Section is likened to those who will not preach on sin and Hell, just a feel good message, the Social gospel.
The Junk Food Isle is the outright false doctrine AKA the prosperity gospel, name it and claim it, the Hebraic Roots movement and other false teachings!!
Feasting on just Milk and Junk will eventually cause you great harm, you can count on it!!
