"Nancy Pelosi: “‘Faith leaders, starting with the Holiness Pope Francis, to the evangelical community, have urged us to be responsible stewards of the beauty of God’s creation. They believe as you live that this planet is God’s creation
and we have a moral responsibility to be good stewards of it…’ When the pope went to the White House, he talked about the dangers of air pollution when he was here. Just last week, the pope met with President Trump and gave him a copy of his encyclical, which made the strong case to halt the climate crisis. The pope wrote the climate is a common good belonging to all and meant for all. The Bible tells us to minister to the needs of God’s creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us and that is what we are doing by walking away from this accord.’”
In other words, those who do not go along with the Pope’s encyclical and the Paris climate agreement are not worshipping “God.”
Laid out in Pope Francis’ encyclical is one of his chief solutions for addressing climate change, which is mandatory Sunday observance. Politicians and religious teachers alike will make the assertion that the calamities which they consider judgments from God are befalling humanity because of their desecration of the Sunday-Sabbath (which is not the Sabbath of the Lord but is a spurious, man-made child of the papacy).
“This time is right upon us. The Spirit of God is being withdrawn from the earth. When the angel of mercy folds her wings and departs, Satan will do the evil deeds he has long wished to do.
*Storm and tempest,
*war and bloodshed,--in these things he delights, and thus he gathers in his harvest.
And so completely will men be deceived by him that they will declare that these calamities are the result of the desecration of the first day of the week. From the pulpits of the popular churches will be heard the statement that the world is being punished because Sunday is not honored as it should be. And it will require no great stretch of imagination for men to believe this. They are guided by the enemy, and therefore they reach conclusions which are entirely false." The Review and Herald, September, 17, 1901 E.G.W.
Another startling use of the term “common good” in Laudato Si was in connection with the mingling of churchcraft with statecraft. We are told that when these two elements are merging, the end is right upon us. Here is the statement from Pope Francis: “True statecraft is manifest when, in difficult times, we uphold high principles and think of the long-term common good. Political powers do not find it easy to assume this duty in the work of nation-building.” HilariHenriques
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
