Papal Notes - Sunday Solution?

ENCYCLICAL LETTER
LAUDATO SI’  
OF THE HOLY FATHER 
FRANCIS ON CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME

1. “LAUDATO SI’, mi’ Signore” – “Praise be to you, my Lord”. In the words of this beautiful canticle, Saint Francis of Assisi reminds us that our common home is like .. a beautiful mother who opens her arms to embrace us. “Praise be to you, my Lord, through our Sister, Mother Earth, who sustains and governs us, and who produces various fruit with coloured flowers and herbs”.

{Did he just say "mother earth" in a real religious policy document???}

74. The experience of the Babylonian captivity provoked a spiritual crisis which led to deeper faith in God.
{Interesting that the Pope mentions the "Babylonian Captivity"....if u know what I mean....}

228. .... This same gratuitousness inspires us to love and accept the wind, the sun and the clouds, even though we cannot control them. In this sense, we can speak of a “universal fraternity”.
{What kinda new-age, neo-pagan psycho-babble is this? We have to love and accept the wind, sun & clouds"??}

237. On Sunday, our participation in the Eucharist has special importance. Sunday, like the Jewish Sabbath, is meant to be a day which heals our relationships with God, with ourselves, with others and with the world. Sunday is the day of the Resurrection, the “first day” of the new creation, whose first fruits are the Lord’s risen humanity, the pledge of the final transfiguration of all created reality. It also proclaims “man’s eternal rest in God”.
{Interesting that the Pope mentions both Sunday & Sabbath in his encyclical side-by-side. Focusing attention on Sunday as a day of the creation, in other words tying Sunday rest to "mother earth".}

241. Mary, the Mother who cared for Jesus, now cares with maternal affection and pain for this wounded world. Just as her pierced heart mourned the death of Jesus, so now she grieves for the sufferings of the crucified poor and for the creatures of this world laid waste by human power. Completely transfigured, she now lives with Jesus, and all creatures sing of her fairness. She is the Woman, “clothed in the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars” (Rev 12:1). Carried up into heaven, she is the Mother and Queen of all creation. In her glorified body, together with the Risen Christ, part of creation has reached the fullness of its beauty.
{WRONG on so many counts---but the Pope has a lot of "mothers"--mother Mary & mother earth,....}

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion,

that they should believe a lie:

2 Thessalonians 2:11
