Ever since Adam was risen by God’s Will from the slime of the earth to be made in the Creator’s own image, humanity has acted with shameless arrogance before his God.
Even the Church which Jesus Himself instituted is not immune from man’s ageless folly and pride.
The Holy See has announced that an International Conference entitled “Saving our Common Home and the Future of Life on Earth” is set to take place in the Vatican on 5 and 6 July.
Organized to coincide with the third anniversary of Pope Francis’ Encyclical “Laudato Sì”, the event will see the participation of Vatican Officials and climate change "experts".
Launching the Conference on Tuesday morning in the Holy See Press Office, was Cardinal Peter Turkson, Prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development (another useless agency the modern Church must suffer).
He told Vatican News the Conference intends to reiterate the urgent need for substantial changes in policy and lifestyle in order to safeguard Creation.
With all due respect to Pope Francis, Cardinal Turkson and the rest of the tree huggers who will attend this arrogant and wasteful echo chamber of silly self-affirmation, here’s how things work in the real world.
Mankind and the trash which accumulates in his wake can and neve will be a threat to Creation!
No change “in policy or lifestyle” will safeguard Creation because man is so insignificant a part of the vastness of the universe.
If science itself really means anything to any of these self-appointed experts who wish to protect me and the rest of humanity by imposing their arbitrary wills upon what we eat, wear, drink, drive or otherwise consume, the here’s what scientific facts really tell us.
Whenever an organism on this earth threatens the delicate balance and stasis necessary to promote and sustain life, the earth merely flicks it away as the tail of a dog flicks away a bothersome flea.
Protect Creation?
Who do these charlatans think they are?
Listen to the rhetoric employed by Cardinal Turkson in explaining the aim of this useless consumption of time, energy and resource to convene such a conference: “We all know how the coral reefs are dying; we all know how whales are washed ashore their bellies full of plastic; how the temperature of the sea is rising so methane gas is being released from the ocean; we know the impact of everything happening: the ice caps melting, the sea levels rising, islands disappearing, the hurricanes becoming more and more violent – we know all of this” ,
“What does it take – the Cardinal continued - to decide to make a change?”
Would that the Holy See would be as passionate about men’s souls and salvation as it appears to be about coral reefs and plastic bags!
Would that the real “change” in man’s behavior would be in the actions which proceed from his heart and not from his flesh whose spoils are destined for the latrine.
But didn’t Jesus himself say something similar about all this in Mark 7:12!
And the world keeps spinning and nothing within man’s spirit ever seems to change!
