Kudos to Morano, CFACT and Heartland for their quickly organized and now apparently effective mission. Even with the heavy criticism received, the Vatican seems to have blinked.
Craig Rucker of CFACT writes:
‘According to Vaticanist Sandro Magister, Pope Francis has decided to postpone the publication of his long-awaited encyclical on the environment. The reason, according to Magister, is that the Pope realized that the document in its current state had no chance of receiving the approval of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith under the leadership of Cardinal Gerhard Müller.’
Honduran Cardinal Oscar Rodríguez Maradiaga came out swinging against the delegation of climate realists that recently traveled to the Vatican and featured CFACT’s Marc Morano. Politico reports that, “the Pope’s closest adviser on Tuesday slammed climate-change skeptics, blaming capitalist motivations from ‘movements in the United States.’”
Crux reports that Cardinal Rodríguez said that environmentalism is “too tied to a capitalism that doesn’t want to stop ruining the environment because they don’t want to give up their profits.” Cardinal Rodriguez is an adherent of left-wing “liberation theology.”
Cardinalrating.com reports that he has likened global Capitalism to Nazism, declared a fence between the U.S. and Mexico to be comparable to the “Berlin Wall,” called for the complete “forgiveness” of the national debts of developing world nations, and called the American embargo of Cuba “ridiculous.”
Cardinal Rodriguez has been considered a papal candidate himself. “He is young enough, say many Vatican watchers, that he could be considered again.”
The Vatican needs take a hard, independent look at global warming science and ideology for itself and wake up to the reality that the warming campaign’s case is collapsing on its merits. Climate computer models have been wrong for the past 18 years and the weather is historically normal. The proposed solutions would enrich an elite few, but do nothing meaningful to alter the climate.
Capitalism and freedom have done more for the well-being of people and the planet than any other competing political-economic system.
Denying the world’s poor these crucial engines of opportunity, prosperity and human dignity, while starving them of energy, would be a tragic mistake.
History teaches us time and again that Socialism and the centralized planning that go with it are inefficient and cause great suffering.
Hopefully the Vatican is listening to loyal Catholics like Marc Morano and reassessing its position on the climate issue.
There is reason to be hopeful.
Word has it, according to Vaticanist Sandro Magister, Pope Francis has decided to postpone the publication of his long-awaited encyclical on the environment. The reason, according to Magister, is that the Pope realized that the document in its current state had no chance of receiving the approval of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith under the leadership of Cardinal Gerhard Müller.

Does this mean there will be a change in tenor in the upcoming encyclical? Marc’s mission may have caught their attention?
Time will tell.

So the Pope is about to Endorse Global Warming BS!
{CC is Catholic Church}
Which is odd since the last time the CC got heavily involved with Science (Galileo) it didn’t work out that well and helped usher in the reformation (Luther, the Illuminati, and all that other stuff, Anglican split, confining the CC to a few acres in Rome, etc.).
Recently, the evil Capitalist demons on the side of the CC have assisted the CC in maintaining a great many of the CCs agenda items.
Every so often the leftists get the bright idea to tax Church property. Dear Mr. Pope, the CC owns several billion dollars worth of property in NYC alone and the evil capitalists stopped it from being taxed. It’s going to be a heavy yearly bill. But I’m sure George Soros will want to buy the Pieta for a princely sum, it would look very nice in his office lobby.
Then there is all that income you collect in donations to send to Rome. I’m sure we can find home grown charities to ease our hearts here while you pay income tax on the donations.
And then there is the matter of the money you pay to priests, nuns, Cardinals, etc. Have you been withholding taxes and SS money? Have you been paying a fair wage?
That is just the beginning. Are you telling me you will not perform a gay wedding? And there are no women priests or Cardinals? No male nuns?
Then there is the issue of priests and choir boys. You are going to need to add some more zeros to those checks you write to cover over that because the juries will want to be generous with your money. Very generous.
Finally there is the issue of abortion. More than any other country, the USA has tried to keep that in check. Given the chance, planned parenthood and Nancy Pelosi will want to build a clinic on every corner in Harlem. So if you sell us out to a UN tax on Carbon we just might sit back and watch.
So it’s your choice Mr. Pope. If you want to bring us hell on earth, we just might return the favor. And we will not have to lift a finger.
And if you think you new friends on the left will help you, you are very wrong. Changing the CC to be just another secular corporate entity will destroy you.
You should rethink this very carefully, God is watching.

“… the Pope realized that the document in its current state had no chance of receiving the approval of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith under the leadership of Cardinal Gerhard Müller.”
If recent history is any indicator, Francis will not delay because of any change of heart. He will instead delay until he can replace Cardinal Muller and anyone else he needs to at the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith.
