Catholic Church blames storms on mankind.

[rpanic]

Was listening to radio this morning (I think NPR) and they were talking about how the Catholic Church is trying to make the Vatican carbon free. But what sounded more interesting is it sounded like they wanted to get away from storms being an act of god and being something caused by man and the global warming. The priest they were talking to said that major storms tend to hurt the poorest and I guess they don?t want people getting mad at god or loosing customers for any hardships that they may cause.

If they are serious about this will insurance company?s change storm damage labels an act of god to something else. Kind of reminds me of the movie ?The Man Who Sued God?.

Its good to see them want to help the environment, perhaps other Christian groups will follow.

Is al Gore a Catholic?

They better stop breathing.

 

[maddogchen]

They're just trying to cover God's ass. Nice try.

 

[blackangst1]

nvm

The Catholic Church has not been the Church blaming the weather (or other catastrophic events) on God. That's typically a Protestant activity.

No, it looks like he's a Baptist (nominally).

My guess is that your guess wasn't what I guessed was being said at all. My guess was that I heard something entirely different than what you state here. My guess is that you heard what you had already guessed such words as you thought you heard must mean based on assumptions you already hold on these subjects.

What I heard him say, and naturally it's only a guess, is that people attribute natural disasters to God because it's a rationalization. If it's God's fault nobody else is to blame. This is a self comforting way that people who hate themselves can avoid consciously recognizing they always blame themselves for everything. The priest didn't know that last part I just said, naturally, but he did know that it's a way not to blame oneself and therefore render oneself powerless to do anything positive in this world to protect against natural disaster. The church, bless them for this wisdom, has decided that people must steward the earth and do what they can to protect and preserve earth's healthy ecology.

The church has seen that global warming is going to affect the Philippines the in an especially negative way owing to the typhoons that come its way and planting trees and protecting the forest will be vital to help curb flooding.

A billion ever increasingly environmentally conscious Catholics is a good good thing, in my guesstimation.

Everybody hates God. God is the first to be hated when you hate yourself. The whole point of forgiveness of others is to forgive yourself for hating God. You have hated God from the first day your unity was divided and you cast yourself out of the garden.

Vatican Official Insists He's Not Gay
By NICOLE WINFIELD ? 1 day ago

VATICAN CITY (AP) ? A Vatican official suspended after being caught on hidden camera making advances to a young man says he is not gay and was only pretending to be gay as part of his work.

In an interview published Sunday, Monsignor Tommaso Stenico told La Repubblica daily he frequented online gay chat rooms and met with gay men as part of his work as a psychoanalyst. He said that he pretended to be gay in order to gather information about "those who damage the image of the Church with homosexual activity."

Vatican teaching holds that gays and lesbians should be treated with compassion and dignity but that homosexual acts are "intrinsically disordered."

The Vatican said Saturday it was suspending Stenico after he was secretly filmed making advances to a young man and asserting that gay sex was not sinful during a television program on gay priests broadcast Oct. 1 on La7, a private Italian television network.

Larry 'Wide Stance' Craig probably wishes he thought up the *not gay and was only pretending to be gay* defense . . . .

Just like Bush pretending to be smart?

The Protestant groups have had that as a major cause for some time now. It's long been reported that that's part of thr reason the RR is a fractured group. Some push social issues, other push environmental etc.

I'm not a dude; I'm a Catholic Priest. Maybe you should pull your cheeks out of your ears before you listen to the radio or respond to one of my posts. I thought it was rather accommodating of you to suggest you maybe didn't get the real intention of the story so I just wanted to say that's cool in a nice and a funny way. Geez, try not to be so sensitive. It makes you sound infantile rather than a boy. 😉

But I forgive you, my child. I guess you could be a girl.

My OP was a summery of what I heard from a radio broadcast on my way home driving on the freeway. I give credit where its do and know that I make mistakes, which I acknowledged as you pointed out since I figured someone would recall the broadcast better.

If you are a Catholic Priest which I have to take for your word, you could call me Sir or Mister, since I am none of which you have called me. I am not Catholic so you can keep your Catholic Etiquette to yourself. How would it sound if I called you child, boy, infant, son, or phony. If you are a priest how do you spend so much time posting here, go save some people in the real world.

I am not a Catholic priest right now. I was a Catholic priest when I said, "I forgive you my son. You see, we have been talking about Catholics. I was going to say, say ten hail marries but I didn't know how to spell it and didn't want to take the trouble to look it up. I figured, I forgive you my son would have to do. What was amusing to me seems not to have been fun for you. You heard what was not intended.
