All you're going to hear and see from globalists and their water
carriers now, more than ever is doom, angry rhetoric and forceful mandates. These will increase in intensity.

The fist time ever, Pope Francis was able to get his message directly to the leaders of the nation's of the world. His message, in Laudato Deum: to stop playing around and do whatever is necessary to force citizens to comply with the climate change agenda or else.

The climate change agenda, of course, is meant to being about totalitarianism and totalitarianism, a one world government.

NOW - Hillary Clinton: "We're seeing and beginning to pay attention and to count and record the deaths that are related to climate."

Pope Francis and Hillary Clinton make a cute couple.

Pope Francis: ‘The commitment to human rights is never ended.’

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

Dec 10, 2023 — On the 75th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Pope Francis greeted pilgrims today in St. Peter’s Square, saying that “the commitment to human rights is never ended!” In what appeared to be a reference to the Israeli–Hamas war in Gaza, he said, “in relation to human rights, let civilians, hospitals and places of worship be protected, let the hostages be released and let humanitarian aid be guaranteed.”

Following the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7 that killed some 1,200 Israelis and included the taking of 240 hostages (138 of whom are still being held captive in Gaza), Israeli bombing in the Gaza enclave has caused the death of more than 17,000 Palestinians, including over 7,000 children and 5,000 women. The bombing has also resulted in the destruction of more than 40 percent of buildings in the Gaza strip, including homes, schools, hospitals and places of Muslim and Christian worship. Israel has also forced some 1.9 million Palestinians to move into the southern area of Gaza, where fuel, food, water and medical supplies are scarce, and has allowed only a limited supply of humanitarian aid to enter the territory.

“Let us continue to pray for the peoples that suffer because of war,” Francis said, mentioning specifically the populations of “the martyred Ukraine, Palestine and Israel.”

“We are going toward Christmas. Are we able, with the help of God,” he asked, “to take concrete steps to peace? We know it is not easy. Some conflicts have deep historic roots.” However, he said, “we have the witness of men and women who have worked with wisdom and patience for peaceful coexistence. Let their example be followed. Let every effort be made to face and remove the causes of the conflicts.”

“I am near all those who, without fanfare, in concrete daily life, fight and personally pay the price defending the rights of those who do not count,” the pope said.

[…]

Francis, who appears to have fully recovered from a bout of acute bronchitis that prevented him from taking part in the U.N.-sponsored COP28 climate conference in Dubai at the beginning of December, concluded his message to pilgrims today by reminding them that “In a few days, the work of the COP28 [conference] on climate in Dubai will finish.” He invited people “to pray so that it reaches good results for the care of our common home and the safeguarding of peoples.”

Sometimes the Babylon Bee skewers us so hard that it hurts:

Pope Francis Excommunicates Apostle Paul Over Outdated Views On Women, Marriage

VATICAN CITY — The Catholic Church announced this week Pope Francis has excommunicated the Apostle Paul over the latter's outdated views on women, families, and social issues.

"We regret to announce Saint Paul is no longer a member of the Catholic Church," a statement from The Vatican reads. "Paul's problematic teachings on so-called traditional families and women have no place in modern Catholicism."

The move comes after Pope Francis openly condemned Paul for his biblical statements on the importance of gender roles and traditional marriage.

"We regret we placed this deeply misogynistic and homophobic man on a pedestal for 2,000 years," said Francis to reporters. "Forbidding women from preaching, condemning homosexuality, telling women to be chaste, modest, and quiet in church? I'm literally shaking just thinking about it. Paul's continued defiance of modern Catholic sensibilities will no longer be allowed."

At publishing time, the Pope had announced an additional inquiry against Saint Peter on the Apostle's continued insistence that people repent of their sins.

NEW - Pope Francis has revealed that he has "prepared his own tomb" and wants to break with tradition and be buried outside the walls of the Vatican.

Pope Francis has revealed that he has prepared his own tomb and wants to break with tradition and be buried outside the walls of the Vatican.

In an interview with Mexican television, the pontiff said it was only sensible to make preparations for his passing. But he said that notwithstanding a range of health problems, from intestinal surgery to knee pain and breathing difficulties, he is not planning to resign.

The Pontiff, who turns 87 on Sunday, recently had to cancel a number of official appointments, including his presence at the Cop28 climate summit in Dubai, because he was suffering from acute bronchitis. “Thank God it wasn’t pneumonia,” he said at the time, owing to the fact he had part of one lung removed as a young man.

In the interview with Mexican TV, he said that he admired the courage of his predecessor, Benedict XVI, who became the first pontiff in 600 years to resign when he stepped down in 2013.

Pope Francis says he has prepared his tomb in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, the church in Rome where he goes to pray before and after every pontifical journey abroad. He prays in front of a Byzantine-style painting that features an image of Mary holding the baby Jesus.

“It’s my great devotion,” said the Pope, who also carries the title Bishop of Rome. He said he wants to be buried in the basilica. “The place is already prepared.”

Some good news!


Pope Says Blessings For Individuals In Same-Sex Relationships Cannot Resemble Marriage Brief, Direct, To-the-Point, Honest

Couples in “irregular situations,” including same-sex relationships, can receive blessings that do not “sanction or legitimize” their unions, the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, which exists to defend Catholic doctrine, clarified in a document published Monday.

The document, called “Fiducia Supplicans,” was signed by Pope Francis as well as the Dicastery’s new prefect, Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández.
Priests can give people in same-sex couples a “spontaneous blessing,” but the blessing cannot be a “liturgical” act or resemble the sacrament of marriage, the document says.

Basically, a priest can give a blessing as he normally would to anyone who asks for it.

But there are not going to be ceremonies, in a Church, with tuxedos and costume dresses and invited guests and cake, to especially bless aberrant sorts of life-partnerships.

Kudos to Pope Francis for finally giving us a clearly definite and faithful answer on something.

When will Francis prioritize exorcising the smoke of Satan from the Church over climate change?

As you might expect, National Catholic Reporter has a slightly different take:

In major doctrinal shift, Vatican officially OKs Catholic blessings for gay couples [Lying, Obfuscating, False]

Gently walking back from the headline without actually correcting it:

While the new document distinguishes between liturgical blessings and spontaneous or personal ones, it states that Catholic priests may offer blessings to gay couples or those in "irregular" unions, if requested as a matter of popular piety or devotion. It also states that the couples "should not be required to have prior moral perfection" as a precondition for obtaining the blessing.

"A blessing may be imparted that not only has an ascending value but also involves the invocation of a blessing that descends from God upon those who — recognizing themselves to be destitute and in need of his help — do not claim a legitimation of their own status, but who beg that all that is true, good, and humanly valid in their lives and their relationships be enriched, healed, and elevated by the presence of the Holy Spirit," the document states.

....

While the declaration paves new ground for the pastoral practices of individual priests, it explicitly forbids that such blessings take place within the context of a liturgical celebration and does not allow for them to "be performed with any clothing, gestures, or words that are proper to a wedding."

Under the limited conditions the new guidelines outline, such blessings must be personally administered by the minister without any prepared texts or rituals developed by a national bishops' conference.

The new Vatican instructions could force a course correction to a number of Catholic bishops' conferences in Europe, where various guidelines have been drafted or published in recent months.

Probably after his cremation.

“Irregular situations”? Why is he not calling this what is is? A sinful relationship. Del, I am not at all poking at you about this. I respect the hell out of you. But I seriously thought you would condemn this situation. So, my question is this…why are you not in disagreement with this statement? What would it take for you to condemn it? Would he have to fully endorse homosexual relationships? Sanction them as equal to a marriage between a woman and a man? I ask from a place of genuinely not understanding this. Why is it alright to bless something that God clearly calls sin and an abomination?
