The Catholic Climate Movement is a global network of over 650+ Catholic organizations, including the Jesuits, the Knights of Columbus and many others. [1] They have organized for one purpose – to implement Pope Francis’ “Laudato Si” encyclical [2]which calls, through stealth, for “Sunday” to be the “law of weekly rest” in order to save the environment. [3]
The Catholic Climate Movement is using its vast network and membership to lobby political leaders by urging them to adopt Laudato Si. They are also busy training Catholic laypeople to become “Laudato Si Animators.” [4] These “Laudato Si Animators” receive special training to become “champions” for raising awareness to the Pope’s message on climate change in our society.
In addition to holding seminars, rally’s, marches and other Laudato Si events, the Catholic Climate Movement is using its influence to boycott businesses and organizations who are not following the Pope’s message on climate change. [5]
The Sunday law movement is gaining new life and making new grounds as Pope Francis’ encyclical is being used to push through a Sunday rest measure. These Sunday law agitators are campaigning to stop the so called desecration of the environment. This climate issue has become part of the national debate as even some in our US Congress are engrossed on this controversy.
Rome is pleased with all the attention her Sunday doctrine is receiving. Our legislators and even several of the Protestant churches are also fighting to secure Rome’s future Sunday law. They are laying down the groundwork for the future, final crisis. In the end only a small, minority will oppose the green Sunday law measure and only a few will stand up in defense of religious liberty.
For the glory of God, someone needs to meet this challenge. Someone needs to give a voice of warning while the handwriting is on the wall. Someone needs to speak out in defense truth and liberty.
“To stand in defense of truth and righteousness when the majority forsake us, to fight the battles of the Lord when champions are few—this will be our test. At this time we must gather warmth from the coldness of others, courage from their cowardice, and loyalty from their treason. The nation will be on the side of the great rebel leader. The test will surely come … the observance of an institution of the papacy would be enforced upon the people by a Sunday law, while the sanctified rest day of Jehovah would be trampled underfoot” (Testimonies, Vol. 5, pp.136, 137).
There will be two clear voices being heard as we enter the final crisis. (1) Rome’s clear call that Sunday is the solution to save the planet. (2) The warning message found in the Third Angel’s Message against the mark of the beast. God will always have a people who will step up at every crisis to meet the challenge. Praise God!
