"...Bishop Erwin Kräutler went on to propose that Pope Francis should
take a much tougher stance on the climate crisis, suggesting that
instead of using the phrase “Laudato Si,” a term borrowed from the
“Canticles of St. Francis,” the Pope’s next climate encyclical should be
called “Dies Irae,” or “Day of Wrath.” This refers to the Day of God’s
Judgment. The Franciscan monk Thomas of Celano wrote the Latin hymn
“Dies Irae” in the year 1256, which is used today during Catholic mass ceremonies for the dead.
2014, when I was with Pope Francis and he revealed to me that he was writing an encyclical on ecology … I took advantage of the occasion to insist that the promised encyclical could not fail to make extensive references to the Amazon and the indigenous peoples. And the Pope accepted my request in articles 37/38 and 145/146. “Laudato si, mi Signore”!
Bishop Erwin Kräutler stated the following during the interview:
Question: Pope Francis can be considered one of the great promoters of defense in the care of the Common Home. Can we say that the advice he gives has political force? To what extent do his words influence decision-making?
Bishop Erwin Kräutler: I fondly remember the day of April 4,2014, when I was with Pope Francis and he revealed to me that he was writing an encyclical on ecology … I took advantage of the occasion to insist that the promised encyclical could not fail to make extensive references to the Amazon and the indigenous peoples. And the Pope accepted my request in articles 37/38 and 145/146. “Laudato si, mi Signore”!
In the encyclical Laudato Si’, Pope Francis intends to cross any confessional, political, racial and ideological borders and address all humanity on all continents.
Q: What does the Day of Judgment have to do with sustainability and
integral ecology?
A: Absolutely nothing!
But according to Bishop Erwin
Kräutler and Catholic social doctrine, they are intimately connected.
Rome is linking God’s Day of Judgment with a Catholic funeral mass song
and the climate crisis. They are trying to use hysteria to scare people
into adopting the principles outlined in Laudato Si’.
Our churches must not become entangled in ecological propaganda but
should focus on the mission that Christ gave us. Instead, the world is
being led into grave errors and pagan heresies. This is causing people
to embrace Sunday as the solution to the climate crisis. Instead of more
reflection and study of the Bible, so-called church leaders are
exalting climate ideologies above the true Christian faith. And since
there is no reference to any ecological sins, this means that Rome’s
climate change agenda falls under the category of a man-made tradition.
