A photo of the Pope blessing an ancient block of glacier ice has upset some religious folks who say his call for integral ecology is ignoring "more important things." What is the relationship between conversion & stewardship of God's Creation? 🧵

Catholic influencers are saying it's sinful to break the law. From the Catechism: "The citizen is obliged in conscience not to follow the directives of civil authorities when they are contrary to the demands of the moral order, to the fundamental rights of persons or the teachings of the Gospel."

I've been so tired for the last week or so battling the flu that I've hit the point of crying every day The good thing about it, though, is reminding me of a beautiful teaching from Pope Francis which he passed on from the saints; "the gift of tears." When we find ourselves weeping, we can grow.

The 10th Anniversary of #LaudatoSi is approaching. I hope the universal Church will continue to learn from the wisdom of indigenous cultures. To combat the evils of modernity, we need to rediscover our identity as members of God's Creation, and as all relatives.

With evil so apparent in the world, what an encouragement to receive Pope Leo XVI to follow Leo XIII who wrote the St. Michael prayer against evil -- on the feast of Our Lady of Pompeii (whose shrine was rebuilt by a former Satanic priest) and anniversary of St. Michael's apparition.

In case anyone is wondering... For a Catholic, grieving a Pope is not exactly like grieving a close family member, but it can be similar. The word Pope literally comes from Papa; a father or grandfather figure. I've personally found that the tears hit me at times both expected & unexpected.
