Vacation? Seriously? He was just made Pope on May 8th of this year, and he’s already taking vacation?
Pope Leo interrupts vacation to appeal for action on climate change
Pope Leo interrupted a two-week vacation on Wednesday to celebrate a special Mass exhorting Catholics to exercise care for creation, in the Vatican’s second major appeal in a week for the world to address global climate change.
“Today … we live in a world that is burning, both because of global warming and armed conflicts,” the pontiff said in a small outdoor ceremony in Castel Gandolfo, an Italian hill town about an hour’s drive from Rome where he is spending his holiday.
“We have to pray for the conversion of many people … who still do not see the urgency of caring for our common home,” said the pontiff.
That doesn’t sound too cultish, does it? And might interfere with that whole “no Gods before me”? And worshiping idols?
The new pope said the 1.4-billion-member Church was committed to speaking about the issue, “even when it requires the courage to oppose the destructive power of the princes of this world”.
