Hooray. There’s a disturbing misanthropy running through so much of the environmental discourse (which is typically without God of course). Here, as on other key issues, you show how the church provides a passionate and deeply wise approach to this mighty problem that avoids the pitfalls of the ideologies that caused so much suffering in the last century. Sincerely, from London

I went to my first mass today and knowing I am an ecologist the father was very keen on me getting involved in the laudato si group in the church. Made me feel valuable immediately which I very much appreciated

As someone doing environmental/geo engineering, I appreciate this message immensely!💕

Laudato Si begins with me, with you, with us. We are all interconnected to each other as to the environment and vice versa. Thank you Fr. Casey. Godbless.

Whoever said that Church is old and boring must be very wrong.

Caring for the environment is actually very pro-life because as the biosphere collapses millions of human lives will be in danger.

I am constantly bombarded by negativity in regards to Pope Francis. It was nice to see his position on this issue explained so articulately. I will pray about it. Thank you for the video.

Finally ! Thank you hope many will watch this because what's the point of being Prolife and not caring for the earth God gave us? What's is so diabolical about the earth that produces the food we eat ...Please all pray for our Pope Francis !

This man about to turn me Catholic

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 Mother Mary Pray For Us 🙏Abba Father Bless us and we Adore You 🙏

Brilliant Fr. Casey, much appreciated summary of Laudato Si. "Interconnectedness and communal responsibility for all of creation". I am continually awed by the writings of Pope Francis. I have read Gaudete et exsultate twice, now have my next reading assignment:)

This has definitely changed my mind from why whole anthropocentric worldview

I am currently studying to become a wildlife biologist on the basis of the church’s teachings.

🎆I have read the rather long document twice. I can't tell you the grief I feel that it is so badly overlooked by so many. It's great. Every word is a jewel.🎆

Let's pray for Islanders who are losing their homes, towns and especially countries around the world 🌍🌎🌏

Unfortunately I've never given Laudato Si a chance because of things that ive heard. But everytime I actually read what Pope Francis has actually said, I'm always amazed. This is why I like reading L'Observatorre Romano, the official newspaper of the Vatican. I'm definitely gonna read it when I get the chance.

I have no idea at all why taking care of the environment is considered controversial. It just makes sense to take care of the resources that we all depend on for life, like clean air, clean water and soil.

Hi father Casey thank you for everything. I pray for you and I want you to pray for me too I love you god bless you

What a wonderful coincidence! I've read this book recently until today. There is only a final chapter. I don't want to read it quickly, because it's too tremendous to skip in shortly. Pope Francis recommended every important issue on several social parts. I'm so thankful about the whole words from him... Well, people should read it. It's a gift... maybe from our Lord. Also I appreciate you for this v-log.(from South-Korea, sorry for my poor language, bye!)

Dear Fr. Casey, Thank you for your summary and comments on this most beautiful and enriching of encyclicals. It really does open one’s eyes if you are willing to see. God bless.

"Yes Priest all true indeed very well shared" and imparted the very essence and purpose of all sacred creations of God as interconnected to this planet's substances and life,.🙏☺

Wise words from the Pope that make us reflect on our responsiblity as humans living on Earth from a christian catholic perspective and great explanation.

"And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." Daniel 9:27 KJV

Remember when saying “Mother Nature” as a reference to the earth was an acceptable analogy instead of assuming whoever says that is a pagan? I remember.

Thanks for the clarification father Casey

I have leaned that there are so many things each person can do to live green! Thanks for posting this.

Can you put captions in Spanish please!! I wanna show your videos to my fam but many dont speak English and your videos are super informative and insightful☺️👌🏼

Thank you Fr Casey. We need to be more caring about humans, animals and the world. It will never be either or. But God has to be centre stage of our lives to help us care more.

If we love God , we must love all his Creations as well and learn to have Care and concern about it to have a wholesome environment around us So let's get together and work a better measure for the whole Universe.

Laudato Si is a revolutionary document. Praise to you.

I voted for more apologetics videos, but I would also like to request videos on spiritual practices. You've done at least one video extolling the liturgy of the hours and I would be interested in hearing you speak on lectio divina, the rosary and Christian meditation practices.

Thanks you very much ❣️ from the holy Land

We should pray and do the necessary changes to our lives to love God our brothers our enemies and the environment. Agradezco a Dios por permitirme conocerlo, amarlo y seguirlo.

This has been on my mind. Wow. Thank you and god bless❤

Thank you for the recommendation, I started reading it!

Well said, Father Casey! God and Nature gave us this Earth to CHERISH, not to EXPLOIT. Pope Francis definitely wrote a masterpiece here. And now I want to watch Brother Sun And Sister Moon again. Any insight on this movie as a Franciscan?

"The primary mission of Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of mankind, was not to take care of the material wellbeing of the planet, but to save immortal souls for eternal life in heaven" - Bishop Athanasius Schneider

One of, if not THE best video if yours, dude ✌️🙏🍃 THANK YOU 🤗🔥

Wonderful Presentation of the Laudato Si book.. the last chapter of this book is suggesting to have unity. One religion for short.. each one to celebrate with the so called holy Eucharist, which makes the Sunday as the Lord's day which is exactly opposite from what the Scripture says that SABBATH Saturday is the Holy Day. Let us be wise in these last day! Our life should be guided only by the Scriptures..

Hey Fr Casey could u please do one video on Christus vivit as well

Thanks dear Father... very well and passionately explained. Very admirable speech to love and follow the Laudato Si

Thank you, Father Casey. It has always saddened me why a lot of people do not understand what Pope Francis is saying in his book. You have explained it in the clearest way possible. Thank you very much. Father, so many of my friends have left the catholic faith and became born again (christians/protestants/baptists/pentecostal/evengelists) they tell me in so many ways that our baptism is not from God and not at all mentioned in the bible. They keep quoting the verse about Peter saying about being "born again in water and spirit" they tell me also that the Holy Rosary is a form of Buddhism and witch craft. I do not know how to defend my catholic faith when they question it. I know that the Catholic Church is the true Church and I will never leave it. Father, can you please defend Mama Mary and the Holy Rosary. Thank you and God bless you always.

Thank you so much for this video. I really hope tons of people see it and realize their political ideas are not always aligned with their faith. I read some comments and I see some people are resisting... We can't forget we're human beings, and our brains love resorting to cognitive biaises to reduce any dissonance! Unfortunately, I do see that some people completely missed one point: even if you don't want to acknowledge that all creatures are here to serve, and therefore should be respected and dignified, you can at least understand the systems in place at the moment are going against the survival of millions of human beings. There's nothing "pagan" about this.

100% agreed, and100% support!

Good effort father casey , actually it is new way of evangelization all prayers and support from kerala, India , in Christ Jesus fr. Colin pulickal

I'm no longer a Catholic, I never was I could argue, but I really am amused by how much Pope Francis is doing. He is going beyond the theological theory and he is actually acting to change the Church and give hope for a positive change. The only odd thing is that while me as an atheist admire that, my father and other catholics hates it and say he should stay in his lane. Its confusing to say the least.

Thanks for video! Maybe Church should teach more about how to be ecological...more exact...like doing permaculture and not using chemicals, how to eat healthy and to not support animal farms with terrible conditions, and about healthy lifestyle...because when we say this to catholics, that we are catholics trying to live like that...they mostly look at us as at crazy and insane people... its nice u did this video, and please pray for us, we going to have baby soon...(fifth one;) Thanks for all your videos, from Europe!

He is right.

If we love God, we will love his creation too.

This is a fallen world and we should be saving souls. The beast is making a counterfeit of all God's original works and creations. May the Lord God open up our eyes so we can see the truth.

Blessings . 🌷🌷🌷

What a good messages

Just today when poor elephant was killed by a pineapple full of petards in India she was for days in a river trying to sofocate a little the pain and she was pregnant, is so terrible, really, we need to address nature

How can I get a printed soft copy of the talk in this Video. Need to make a report as i was just appointed Coordinator of the Ministry of Ecology in our Parish. & this talk explains everything about Laudato Si.

Great explanation......thanx!

Great. Got an oral essay about this topic. Too lazy to read the material, I guess I could borrow your word.

In New Age movements we do find a wide diversity of people, varying from those who believe cancer to be a self-inflicted problem in terms of the so-called personal karma, to people that got lost, discouraged by rusty conversations with and evil deeds by the church, but still are on the search for genuine spirituality. Among them, we both find extremists in selfishness, as well as people of good will. Words, spoken about those who consider themselves affiliated with such movements rather should come with a warm invitation instead of a judgmental label. It's here that we touch a deeper problem. In our discourse, we become schematic for the sake of understanding structures and streams. The danger, however, is that, by doing so, we also are prone to disregard the human context of each individual. People are contextual beings, by definition, in terms of their cultural backgrounds, their upbringing, their gender, their faith, etc. I am happy, Father Casey, that in one of your other vlogs, you quoted Mother Teresa when she was asked about her opinion about homosexuals. She immediately put homosexuals back into their most sacred context: "Beloved children of God". Shouldn't we do similarly toward those who are roaming around in certain areas such as the New age movement (which, btw, is an unprecise "umbrella term".)? Catholic church might find quite a lot of sheep out there, desperately are longing to rejoin the flock again.

I think automation is good as long as it allows people to move upward to find a job that not only satisfies their material needs but also their intellectual and spiritual. Many factory jobs have transformed persons into machines for the sake of maximizing productivity

Thank you so much!

Well said, Father Casey!

Such great insights for the glory of God.

Well done, one of the best presentation of Laudato Si!

This is very good, i think some things weren't fully covered so right now, I'm going to read that.

It is good for us to care about the environment just like it is good for us to care for our own bodies which is part of the elements as well. And our bodies are also the temple in which the Holy Spirit lives in. Notwithstanding, we are to Love the Creator more than the creation, evil people will love the creation more than God. God the Holy Spirit tells us in the Holy Bible "They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-- who is forever blessed. Amen. Romans 1:25🌿📖🌿 🌿 And Christ also said_ the universe and Earth will pass away, but my Words will never pass away.

Beautiful watch.. thumbs up on the Star Wars crawl too

Hi Fr, it is very informative..

I like the star wars scroll father!

In the very first chapter of the Bible, we learn that God created the world and all the animals, and said they were good. Who are we, then, to decide they're actually worthless and disposable?

Father is it true that Pope Francis said we must bow down to Pachamama if we want to be saved?

I see people already liking the video before finishing🤣

Love your message.

Words are powerless when looked at individually but they have the potential for good or evil, when someone who can properly use them to his or her advantage. That is what Nathaniel Hawthorne quote means, and I fully agree with him. An example of words being used for evil could be a dictator trying to convince his people that he is best for the country. An example of words being used for good could be a civil rights activist trying to persuade people to get along and to treat everyone with respect no matter what race they re Though words can also be used for evil by anybody just by using profanity. Those words can make someone furious and the person succeeded in insulting them. The same goes for words used for good, anyone can give a compliment and can make someone happy. Words are innocent when looked at individually even Nathaniel Hawthorne states that they are powerless and just stand in a dictionary. Words cannot effectively be used for good or evil when they are individually used, but when they are combined they become different. An example could be the word filth, it means dirty but when used with you and are, they become an insult which can hurt anyone’s feelings. Words are pointless if you cannot have other words used with them to create a good or hurtful statement. Like how I showed, words are effective only with other words and if a person who knows how to effectively use words can easily use them for a good or evil cause. Throughout history, words have been used for both good and evil purposes. A good example of words being used by a man who knew how to use them for evil purposes was Adolf Hitler. With his speeches he was able to convince Germany that Jews were evil and that they needed to create the perfect race. The effectiveness of his words caused much pain and suffering to innocent people, but if he did not know how to effectively use words, nobody would have listened to him. A good example of words being used for the good of America during oppressive times was Martin Luther King, Jr. He was able to persuade people to treat everyone equally no matter what color their skin was. He was able to effectively use words to support his cause and because he knew how to use them, he became a civil rights icon. Words can also be used to persuade someone for a good or bad reason. The reason could be minor things from trying to make you buy a product to making you do something you might later regret. I have been persuaded many times throughout my life for both good and bad because somebody was able to use words effectively. One time I was persuaded into believe that taking a dollar or two from my mom’s purse was okay because she would give me the money anyway. The person (my brother) was able to use words for evil and made me believe something that wasn’t good and for him to buy ice cream. A time I was persuaded for good was when I was helped my aunt move her belongings when she bought a home. My mom used words for good by making me do something that would benefit my aunt. Words can also be used for good or evil on any advertisement. Advertisements try to persuade you to buy a product, whether its for a good or bad cause depends on your beliefs. Commercials try to make you buy any product from food to cars they are not doing anything evil, but if you do not like something that they are trying to sell, like fur coats, then you may believe that they are evil. Advertisements can also be on magazines, newspapers,etc., and they also want to make you buy or join something. It depends on what is being advertised to determine if its good or evil like an ad for the armed forces, patriots would think its good, while other who hate war will think its awful. The words used in the advertisements have to be effective or else no one would support the cause or buy the product. Persuasiveness has also affected my life in both good and bad ways. My mom is easy to persuade because I can use words that can make her believe that she is doing the right choice, so if I want something I just have to use the right choice of words and I always get what I want. Like the time I was able to get my PS3 only a week after I got The Wii. My mom being easy to persuade has also had its bad times. My father was able to persuade her to get a two door car even though there was four members in my family. It was annoying doing the extra work to get into the car just because he used the right words so he could have a more appealing car. Words have also affected many stories like the book I recently read called Bel-Ami by Guy de Maussapant. The main character George Duroy used words to seduce married women for his selfish desires. He did the same thing to two married women and a soon to be married wealthy woman. He told the three of them that he was madly in love with them and that his heart desired them. He was able to pretend to care for them but he only wanted to fulfill his needs. He was a successful writer for a newspaper called the Vie Francaise, which gave him the ability to use words for his benefit. When he needed to get rid of his wife to marry a wealthy women he caught his wife committing adultery with the minister of foreign affairs. He had two mistresses on the side but being the way he was he was furious and wanted to destroy the minister’s credibility so he did it with a simple article and after that he was of no importance. Speeches and everyday conversations can be good or evil because they can end in an argument or to a happy talk. Speeches are usually written to persuade or inform and they have to be written by someone who can use words, so they can either be good or try to persuade you to go against something. Everyday conversations can be good or bad. When couples are just talking and one of them says something they didn’t mean, it can start an argument which is not good. They can also be good, like during a conversation someone could give another a compliment and it can have good results. The quote has some significance in my life because I want the ability to make people believe what I say. If I could use words to my advantage I could persuade people to do things I want and make them feel like they are doing the right thing. As of today though I have very little persuasive power. I am very easy to persuade when it comes to peer pressure because I like to please people especially if its something that would make people laugh. But when it comes to more serious matters I am rarely persuaded. Also words really do not affect me because I really do not like talking as much as I enjoy fighting. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s quote makes sense to me and I can support it with personal experiences. Words have been used for both good and evil purposes throughout history. The quote does have some significance in my life but not much.

We need to care for the environment because in revelation Gods kingdom comes down with all the spirits.

I'm ashamed I did not finished reading Laudato Si. I'll do It !

THANK YOU :) This is such a current and very important subject. I trust most of us are aware and together we can make a difference.

This man is amazing!!!

Coming from one of the most affected poor countries by climate change, the Encyclical also challenges rich nations who don't take responsibility on how they have deStroyed the environment and in effect my country.

Love how you explain this! I had no idea there was so much here. I've Always wondered how several highly compassionate people who I deeply respect are fine with abortion but won't touch honey because bees are people, too. (Eating plants only is great, it's just that people who say they quite seriously hold those two sorts of beliefs at the same time confuse me so much!) I want to read the whole document now!

Thank you for this...

While I appreciate your explanation of the Pope's "meaning for the world" especially chapter 3 I do not like the globalist view by world leaders. America needs to do better in chosing leaders that avoid the globalist view, puts faith and family first again and then the love of all of God's creation can become second nature.

'Laudato Si' is a fine document . For a human government or a dedicated environmental organization. It is not a worthy mission statement for the Church Universal.

Good video, but one minor nitpick: your use of the word "technocratic" =/= how the term is normally and traditionally used, and could be confusing--I prefer using Bp. Barron's neologism of "scientism" as the modern world's cultural obsession with the sciences and fallacious belief that science is the supreme or only form of truth. Technocracy was/is a specific form of totalitarian government regime that was proposed in the US and, like Fascism and Marxist/Stalinist Communism, gained traction during the Great Depression, though unlike them has never been accepted by any actual regimes and, while popular in Science Fiction, as a real political movement died out quietly during the Cold War. Like how Fascism took the ideas of us-versus-them Nationalism and Social Darwinism to its logical extreme and Marxist/Stalinist Comunism took the ideas of Class Warfare and Redistribution of Wealth to theirs, Technocrats advocated for taking militarized bureaucracy, academia and technical expertise to their logical extreme by granting control of all aspects of society to technical experts rising through a military-style ranked hierarchy on the basis of aptitude tests, skill assessments by their superiors, and data analysis, plus an emphasis on self-sufficiency and isolationism of each new technocratic state. While the root fallacy used to justify the technocratic worldview, scientism leads to a wide variety of other political philosophies as well, so it seems weird to name the fallacy after just one of those groups, particularly when the name of the group literally means 'rule by experts,' not 'rule of science'.

st francis loved nature

The Baptism of John was a ceremony of repentance! Born Again.. Peter expressed his Spiritual condition when our Savior asked, "who do they say that I am? What is He asking? What's happening here? Peter gave the most passionate answer! Peter answered and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. 30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. In this moment all of the scriptural support for the Papacy, succession and authority come from what the Savior said to Peter. Matthew 16:15-17 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Without adding additional meaning I need to point out that Peter expressed what it is to be Born Again! . Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. (I believe He means see the Kingdom in the present!) A spiritual reality not seen by the world. Born again a spiritual condition equipping the saints. John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Born of water is natural birth! and of the Spirit is Spiritual birth! Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Some think baptism is born again but it's never tied to the baptism event in Scripture. 11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Do you see it now..

But Fr. Casey, surely the Bible teaches that Man is to be Steward over all Creation and thus, is Lord over all Creation? Was that not Adam's responsibility? Laudato Si seems to be attempting to remedy Man's disregard for Creation's dignity by arguing that we are equal with Creation but I think the issue is not that Man sees himself as superior to Creation. I think the issue is that Man believes that because he is superior, he can do as he will, disregarding the very question of whether or not Creation has a dignity to be upheld. The remedy to Man's abusive Lordship should be the request for a benevolent Lordship, not an abandonment of Lordship in favour of equality. At least, that's how I see it. Interesting video, nonetheless.

Can you be the next pope, just get 50 years wiser and become a cardinal.

Laudato si Signore ✨

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT ON LILIA GENEBLASO'S COMMENT .SHE KNOWS WHERE ITS AT . !!!!! WE ARE ALL MISSING SOMETHING HERE ! SHE STATES ,,,,,,,IF YOU LOVE GOD !!!! THAT IS THE POINT WE ARE ALL MISSING . DO WE REALLY LOVE GOD. ?????

I invite you and anyone who sees this response to pray the following prayer for exiting the Corona crisis. “O Mary, You shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the foot of the cross, were united with Jesus’ suffering, and persevered in your faith. “Protectress of the Roman people”, you know our needs, and we know that you will provide, so that, as at Cana in Galilee, joy and celebration may return after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the will of the Father and to do what Jesus tells us. For he took upon himself our suffering, and burdened himself with our sorrows to bring us, through the cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.” We fly to your protection, O Holy Mother of God; Do not despise our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from every danger, O Glorious and Blessed Virgin. אמן

Speaking on behalf the pope in "Laudato Si" and his defense of our environment is a noble exercise. However, when you point out the pope's mindset in "Laudato Si" when he says "We must be like the saint who saw all of God's creatures not in regard of their utility but as ends in themselves", I find a hypocrisy in his position of silence on the subject of the Chinese government's abuse of 1 million Uighur Muslims according to a signed document by 70 faith leaders from across the world. Pope Francis did not sign. See RNS Religion Service 8/11/2020 article by Claire Giangrave. This silence about the plight of these people according to FP News "Pope Francis's Silence on Xinjiang Speaks Volumes, a pope dedicated to human rights has said nothing on China, thanks to a secret deal with Beijing", appears to fall into the category of using them in regard of their utility. One could argue that he's saying these Muslims are not God's creatures (referencing back to the "Laudato Si" statement).

Can we human being recreate the world.? Only God. Cost our sin has destroyed it.

“Thus Says The Lord: “Heaven Is My Throne, And The Earth Is My Footstool; What Is The House That You Would Build For Me, And What Is The Place Of My Rest?” - Isaiah 66:1 (ESV) 15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.” 16 And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God, 17 saying, “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was, for you have taken your great power and begun to reign. 18 THE NATIONS RAGED, BUT YOUR WRATH CAME, AND THE TIME FOR THE DEAD TO BE JUDGED, AND FOR REWARDING YOUR SERVANTS, THE PROPHETS AND SAINTS, AND THOSE WHO FEAR YOUR NAME, BOTH SMALL AND GREAT, AND FOR DESTROYING THE DESTROYERS OF THE EARTH (the Footstool of God).” 19 Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail. Revelation 11:15-19, English Standard Version (ESV)

3:37. humanity is also not given authority to do whatever it pleases with the 10 commandments. Changing them or erasing them.

Using Machines simply does not remove the need for work. If that was true the unemloyment would be higher in less developed countries than in the poor countries. But it's actually oposite. Machines support human work and allow for more efficiency and productivnes. Se everyone rich and poor are better of thank to industrialisation.

A jolly good attempt to save a rather poetical yet deeply flawed pontifical teaching e.g. 'Enforceable international agreements are urgently needed, since local authorities are not always capable of effective intervention. Relations between states must be respectful of each other’s sovereignty, but must also lay down mutually agreed means of averting regional disasters which would eventually affect everyone. Global regulatory norms are needed to impose obligations and prevent unacceptable actions, for example, when powerful companies or countries dump contaminated waste or offshore polluting industries in other countries.' Francis, Laudato Si', 173. When these political arrangements are agreed and then enforced, yet contrary to Catholic Teaching, which shall the Church follow - the global regulatory norms or the principles of moral reason that is the Faith .... if the recent worldwide malaise is an example it must always be the enforceable international agreements not least on local communities; a lesson few have bothered to consider let alone learn.

Amen

While I think we need to take care of God's creation, I do think we are free to worship God the way our minds says. In Laudato Si, it says that Sunday should be forced on people to keep it. There are people who still believe that Saturday is the sabbath. In Laudato Si, it says that we've sinned against nature, but in the bible says that you can't sin against nature. You only sin against God, because sin is the transgression of the law. God's law. That's why we are here, to begin with. That's way Israelites in the Old Testament was led to captivity because they transgressed God's law. Today we don't keep God's law, but rather we prefer to keep human's tradition more than God's law. We have to be careful to not fall to worship the creation more than God. If God said to not worship any image, we should do that. If He said to keep His sabbath(Saturday) we should do that. If we obey Him the way He wants even if the planet will be destroyed, He will create a new one because this one for sure will be destroyed. "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea." Revelation 21:1 Chancellor Albert Smith for Cardinal of Baltimore Archdiocese, letter dated February 10, 1920: If Protestants would follow the Bible, they should worship God on the Sabbath day by God is Saturday. In keeping the Sunday, they are following a law of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Mirror (September 23, 1893): The Catholic Church, for over one thousand years before the existence of a Protestant, by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday... The Adventists are the only body of Christians with the Bible as their teacher, who can find no warrant in its pages for the change of day from the seventh to the first. Hence their appellation, "Seventh-day Adventists." “Pope,” Ferraris’ Ecclesiastic Dictionary: The Pope is of so great dignity and so exalted that he is not a mere man, but as it were God, and the vicar of God. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 1 Timothy 2:5 Catholic American Sentinel (June 1893): Sunday...It is a law of the Catholic Church alone... We need to search the Scriptures because there we will find the truth.

SUNDAY LAW IS COMING!!!!!
