[ 0 → 4] Tradcast Express [ 4 → 15] Tradcast Express, it's Friday, April 14th, 2023. [ 16 → 19] The so-called Global Catholic Climate Movement [ 19 → 24] was established in January of 2015 in the Philippines [ 24 → 29] with the support of Cardinal Luis Tagle of Manila. [ 30 → 36] In 2021, it was renamed into Laudato Si' Movement, [ 36 → 40] a reference to the name of Francis' Encyclical on the Environment [ 40 → 44] issued on May 24th, 2015. [ 45 → 50] According to the official website at laudato-si-movement.org, [ 50 → 56] its values include faith, spiritual transformation, [ 57 → 60] caring for one another, being prophetic, [ 60 → 66] unity in diversity, being in the church and in the world, [ 66 → 70] building bridges, embracing contemplation and action, [ 71 → 73] and living in hope. [ 74 → 78] The Wikipedia entry of the Laudato Si' Movement notes [ 78 → 82] that the organization partners with the Vatican Dicastery [ 83 → 85] for Integral Human Development [ 85 → 88] to convene various global initiatives [ 88 → 90] to raise awareness and support the movement. [ 90 → 92] The Laudato Si' Movement continues to support the movement [ 92 → 93] and to promote the Catholic Catholic environmental action. [ 93 → 98] Now, obviously, there's nothing wrong with protecting the environment. [ 98 → 100] We only have one planet, [ 100 → 102] and we ought to take care of it in a reasonable fashion, [ 103 → 107] not exploit it and leave a wasteland for the future generations. [ 108 → 110] However, despite its claims, [ 110 → 115] the Laudato Si' Movement is not actually a Catholic movement, [ 115 → 118] because Catholics who want to help the environment [ 118 → 120] will always subordinate themselves to the Catholic movement. [ 120 → 120] And so, the Laudato Si' Movement is not actually a Catholic movement, [ 120 → 126] temporal concerns, however legitimate in themselves, to eternal spiritual considerations. [ 127 → 135] The Laudato Si movement, on the other hand, does the exact opposite. Not only are they not [ 135 → 143] interested in the salvation of souls, they want to create heaven on earth, and they admit it, too. [ 143 → 151] So, three days ago, the official YouTube channel of the Laudato Si movement released a video with [ 151 → 161] the title, We are not here to go to heaven, we are here to create heaven on earth. Yeah, they actually [ 161 → 170] said that. The video is a 13-minute interview with one Patrick Carolyn, who is a co-founder [ 170 → 173] of the movement and the former executive director of the Laudato Si movement. [ 173 → 180] of the Franciscan Action Network. At the end of the conversation, Carolyn says this. [ 181 → 186] My view, and I've written a lot about this, is Jesus didn't come to die on the cross [ 186 → 193] to save us from our sins. You know, God didn't need to send somebody to die to save us from our [ 193 → 198] sins. And so, and this, by the way, is not coming from me. This is coming from Bonaventure and [ 198 → 203] Francis and Jonathan Scotus. I'm just kind of borrowing their words. And [ 203 → 203] you know, I think that's a good thing. I think that's a good thing. I think that's a good thing. [ 203 → 210] So, if he didn't come to die on the cross, what was the purpose of the incarnation? And the purpose [ 210 → 216] of the incarnation would be to create heaven here. Not to build, not to go to heaven, but to create [ 216 → 221] heaven here. And so, what we all should be working together on is creating heaven here. [ 222 → 232] Wow. Folks, rarely do you get this candid of a statement of apostasy. What that guy just said [ 232 → 233] was heresy. [ 233 → 241] Heresy and blasphemy. With those ideas, he has totally abandoned the Catholic religion, [ 241 → 249] Christianity. I mean, there is nothing left. Oh, he claims that this was taught by St. Francis, [ 249 → 255] St. Bonaventure, and John Dunn Scotus. Yeah, sure. We can have that debate sometime. [ 256 → 262] It is unbelievable, but if what Patrick Carillon said there is representative of the whole movement, [ 263 → 269] then these Franciscan climate people have totally perverted the gospel of our blessed Lord, [ 269 → 275] which is all about salvation, about being delivered from sin and going to heaven. [ 276 → 282] And they've twisted and distorted and reduced the mission of our Lord into a naturalistic [ 282 → 292] humanitarianism. When I heard that, I was utterly shocked. Shocked not so much that they believe [ 292 → 293] that. [ 293 → 302] But that they admitted so openly. This is naturalism. This is apostasy. There's nothing [ 302 → 312] Catholic left. God did not become man so that we would have heaven on earth. God became man [ 312 → 321] to deliver us from sin so we could have a happy eternity in heaven. He redeemed us. He purchased [ 321 → 323] us back from the dominion. He redeemed us from the dominion. He redeemed us from the dominion. He [ 323 → 333] of the devil. God created us ultimately for heaven to see him face to face. We are called [ 333 → 340] to the beatific vision. We are not called simply to live a few years on earth. [ 341 → 348] What you just heard there is precisely the false gospel that they've been trying to establish [ 348 → 356] through Francis. Now, Francis, Jorge Bergoglio, would never say it that openly, but that is very [ 356 → 364] much what he has been gradually working towards, the gospel of man, where in the end, the only [ 364 → 370] thing that really matters is that you help the needy in their temporal necessities, and the rest, [ 370 → 377] what you believe, whether you love God above all things, and so forth, all that is basically [ 378 → 386] It only has significance for Francis insofar as it leads you or incentivizes you to acts of [ 386 → 393] charity, corporal works of mercy towards your neighbor. That is Bergoglio's gospel of man. [ 394 → 401] And that is what all this human fraternity stuff is about that he's been talking about since 2020. [ 402 → 408] And that's why he can say that to him, it matters more that a child [ 408 → 416] get an education than that it be a Catholic education. That's why Bergoglio can say that [ 416 → 423] being a Christian isn't about adhering to a doctrine. And that's why he now places the [ 423 → 429] greatest emphasis on human fraternity and leaves religious questions aside on the grounds that [ 429 → 436] we are all united in our common humanity. Our religious differences, or what he euphemistically [ 436 → 438] calls our various differences, are not just the differences between us and our fellow human beings. [ 438 → 446] religious traditions. Oh, well, those will always be there. In fact, they're necessary because [ 446 → 453] they're an enrichment to humanity that is willed by God. And we just somehow all worship the same [ 453 → 462] God anyway. So we can just transcend all that by focusing on living together in liberty, equality, [ 462 → 466] fraternity. It is a Freemason's dream come true. [ 466 → 474] That is the false gospel of man, and it is diametrically opposed to the true gospel of [ 474 → 482] our blessed Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, which is supernatural in essence. You want to invest [ 482 → 490] your body and soul, your entire being in this life, in this world? Go right ahead, but you will [ 490 → 496] lose. For he that will save his life shall lose it, and he that shall lose it shall lose it. [ 496 → 506] His life for my sake shall find it, says our Lord in Matthew 16, 25. And likewise, our Lord says, [ 507 → 514] And I say to you, my friends, be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no [ 514 → 521] more that they can do. But I will show you whom you shall fear. Fear ye him who after he hath killed [ 521 → 526] hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, [ 526 → 537] fear him. That's Luke chapter 12, verses 4 and 5. And in Galatians 6, 8, St. Paul tells us, [ 537 → 545] For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in the flesh [ 545 → 552] of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit of the spirit shall reap [ 552 → 554] life everlasting. [ 554 → 563] And also, in his second epistle, Pope St. Peter teaches that this world, as it is now, [ 564 → 568] will eventually be destroyed by God. He writes, [ 568 → 575] But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with great [ 575 → 582] violence, and the elements shall be melted with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it [ 582 → 584] shall be burned up. [ 584 → 593] That's 2 Peter chapter 3, verse 10. So, investing in this world as the point of your existence [ 593 → 601] is not a terribly good idea. In fact, let me mention three more important scripture passages [ 601 → 609] that establish that. Our Lord told us very clearly where our treasure should be, and it's not in this [ 609 → 611] world. He said, [ 611 → 613] Sell what you possess and give alms. [ 614 → 632] Then St. Paul writes to the Colossians, [ 632 → 641] Therefore, if you be risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is sitting at [ 641 → 644] the right hand of God. Mind the things that are above. [ 644 → 649] Not the things that are upon the earth. [ 649 → 652] That's Colossians 3, verses 1 and 2. [ 653 → 658] And St. John the Apostle warns of the false prophets of Antichrist, saying, [ 659 → 665] They are of the world. Therefore, of the world they speak, and the world heareth them. [ 666 → 669] That's 1 John chapter 4, verse 5. [ 670 → 674] In 1910, Pope St. Pius X published, [ 674 → 680] An apostolic letter suppressing the French Catholic social movement known as Le Sillon, [ 681 → 690] Sillonism, that's S-I-L-L-O-N, Sillonism, because it was putting forward ideas that [ 690 → 697] were not compatible with Catholicism and actually distorted the supernatural gospel of our Lord. [ 697 → 701] Ask yourself if this doesn't sound familiar. [ 702 → 702] Quote, [ 702 → 708] We wish to draw your attention, venerable brethren, to this distortion of the gospel [ 708 → 714] and to the sacred character of our Lord Jesus Christ, God and man, prevailing within the Sillon [ 714 → 721] and elsewhere. As soon as the social question is being approached, it is the fashion in some [ 721 → 728] quarters to first put aside the divinity of Jesus Christ and then to mention only his unlimited [ 728 → 732] clemency, his compassion for all human miseries, and his love for all human beings. [ 732 → 738] And his pressing exhortations to the love of our neighbor and to the brotherhood of men. [ 740 → 746] True, Jesus has loved us with an immense, infinite love, and he came on earth to suffer and die [ 746 → 753] so that, gathered around him in justice and love, motivated by the same sentiments of mutual charity, [ 753 → 761] all men might live in peace and happiness. But for the realization of this temporal and eternal [ 761 → 762] happiness, [ 762 → 768] he has laid down with supreme authority the condition that we must belong to his flock, [ 768 → 775] that we must accept his doctrine, that we must practice virtue, and that we must accept the [ 775 → 783] teaching and guidance of Peter and his successors. Further, whilst Jesus was kind to sinners and to [ 783 → 790] those who went astray, he did not respect their false ideas, however sincere they might have [ 790 → 790] appeared. [ 791 → 792] Quote, [ 792 → 796] He loved them all, but he instructed them in order to convert them and save them. [ 797 → 805] Whilst he called to himself in order to comfort them those who toiled and suffered, it was not to [ 805 → 812] preach to them the jealousy of a chimerical equality. Whilst he lifted up the lowly, it was [ 812 → 818] not to instill in them the sentiment of a dignity independent from and rebellious against the duty [ 818 → 822] of obedience. Whilst his heart overflowed with the joy of the Lord, he did not preach to them the [ 822 → 822] same way. [ 822 → 828] With gentleness for the souls of goodwill, he could also arm himself with holy indignation against the [ 828 → 835] profaners of the house of God, against the wretched men who scandalized the little ones, against the [ 835 → 841] authorities who crushed the people with the weight of heavy burdens without putting out a hand to [ 841 → 850] lift them. He was as strong as he was gentle. He reproved, threatened, chastised, knowing and [ 850 → 852] teaching us that fear is not the only thing that we must do. We must be strong as we are gentle. [ 852 → 858] He used the beginning of wisdom and that it is sometimes proper for a man to cut off an offending [ 858 → 865] limb to save his body. Finally, he did not announce for future society the reign of an [ 865 → 872] ideal happiness from which suffering would be banished. But by his lessons and by his example, [ 873 → 879] he traced the path of the happiness which is possible on earth and of the perfect happiness [ 879 → 882] in heaven, the royal way. [ 882 → 890] of the cross. These are teachings that it would be wrong to apply only to one's personal life [ 890 → 896] in order to win eternal salvation. These are eminently social teachings, and they show in [ 896 → 904] our Lord Jesus Christ something quite different from an inconsistent and impotent humanitarianism. [ 904 → 911] Unquote. Ladies and gentlemen, that was Pope Saint Pius X from his apostolic letter, [ 911 → 916] Notre Charge Apostolique, which is sometimes given in its English translation, [ 917 → 923] which means Our Apostolic Mandate, and that was issued in 1910. [ 924 → 932] Whoever would appeal to the gospel to justify a naturalism that concerns itself with creating [ 932 → 939] heaven on earth rather than going to heaven by means of the way of the cross is distorting [ 939 → 941] the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ. [ 941 → 948] Lord Jesus Christ and the very purpose of his incarnation. There is only one true gospel, [ 949 → 955] and it's clearly not the one preached by Francis and his fraternal climate religion. [ 956 → 962] Tradcast Express is a production of Novos Ordo Watch.
