The Vatican gave a shout-out to California Gov. Jerry Brown Sunday, praising him for his war against climate change and his defense of human “dignity and freedom.”
In a Tweet from Casina Pio IV, the headquarters of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the Vatican called Brown a “true leader” while singling out the Democratic governor’s concern for “the good of the planet threatened by human activity that uses fossil fuel.”
More questionably, the message lauded Gov. Brown—a darling of Planned Parenthood and zealous advocate for abortion on demand—as a “leader who seeks the good of the people defending the dignity and freedom of each person.” The Tweet ends with a triple emoticon of human hands clasped in prayer.
The Vatican has twice offered Governor Brown a platform to preach his ideas, inviting him on two separate occasions to address an assembly of clerics and lay people on issues related to global warming.
Earlier this month, Brown delivered a keynote address at the Vatican in a meeting of the Pontifical Academy on climate change titled “Health of People, Health of Planet and our Responsibility: Climate Change, Air Pollution, and Health.”
In open opposition to the Catholic Church’s defense of unborn children, Brown has been a passionate supporter of abortion-on-demand and has called himself “an uncompromising champion of a woman’s right to choose.” He also supports federal funding of Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers, leading Planned Parenthood to refer to him as “the REAL pro-choice candidate for governor.”
Although as a young man Brown was a Catholic seminarian with the Jesuit order, he sees no contradiction between his Catholic credentials and his crusade for abortion.
The State of California accounts for a disproportionately high number of U.S. abortions, and although only 12 percent of the national population lives in the state, 29 percent of all the nation’s abortions take place there. This means that the abortion rate in California is well over twice that of the national average.
The Pontifical Academy for Science is run by Argentinian Bishop Marcelo SánchezSorondo, who came under fire in May of 2016 for offering a Vatican platform to other known advocates of abortion and population control, like Jeffrey Sachs and UN General Secretary Ban Ki-moon, as well as population hoaxer Paul Ehrlich.
When questioned about the decision to enlist speakers so divergent from Catholic teaching, Sánchez shifted the blame to the Tea Party and the oil industry, and suggested he was not responsible because “I am only the Chancellor.”
Shortly before his most recent trip abroad, Governor Brown granted an interview to BBC radio, in which he threatened to sue the Trump administration over climate change while vowing to “stabilize the ship of state.”
“The president is working to delegitimize the very notion of climate change,” Brown told Jim Naughtie of the BBC, while the position of California is to go “against the policies of President Trump.”
“I hope the rest of the world does their part in providing a forceful opposition,” he said.
“Trump has declared war on a majority of the American people under the guise of supporting his minority base and it’s very dangerous,” Brown said. “It’s very disruptive for America, and I’m going to do everything I can to stabilize the ship of state.”

The best thing the Vatican could do to improve the earth’s survival prospects is to change its stance on birth control. It should not be too hard, given that a advisory committee recommended just that to pope Paul VI half a century ago. Too bad he refused that advice. Without such reversal all the present pope’s gratuitous opinions on climate change are mere grandstanding.
The papacy endorsing the wacko idiocy of a failed Jesuit.
Perhaps franny-baby would like to make a contribution to planned parenthood as well as the slew of tax exempt leftist orgs feeding at the public trough.
Maybe franny-baby would like to start annunciating some warnings from the apocalypse to spread hope and joy for the coming season of advent.
Its really simple…Satan offered Jesus all the kingdons ( govts ) of the world if Jesus would bow down once to him. You cant offer what you dont already own….
As such, since the Devil has convinced a lot of people to reject by removing Him from the classroom, the public places, the court room, a vacuum emerges, to be then filled with green left-wing eco- thuggery in the form of the pagan climate change religion.
Now tgat same sex marriage is legal almost everywhere, it will embolden many left wing thugs to openly go after Christianity, as same sex marriage endorsement means whole countries have rejected God. As Jesus said, if you deny knowing me, i will deny knowing you to the Father.
So Satan is clever, he is using human stupudity and ignorance of Gods Word, to alliw humanity to aluenate itself from God. I fear for the nasty leftists when they stand befire God and realuse what gullible stupid fools they have been….
SATAN IS RUBBING HIS HANDS WITH EVIL DELIGHT WITH HIS VATICAN HOW CAN THEY CONDONE THE MURDER OF THOUSANDS ON INNOCENTS BY PRAISING A GOVENOR(MOONBEAM BROWN)WHO ASSISTS IN THE MURDER OF MANY INNOCENT LIVES
Every sperm is sacred.
ESPECIALLY THE ONE THAT BEGAT SPURWING.
In a related story, a Vatican spokesperson today announced that The Pope will again sell indulgences to those who have sinned. However, they will no longer be referred to as “indulgences”; henceforth, the new term will be “carbon credits”.
Matthew 21:12.
Politics makes strange bed fellows.
Why does this paper appear on climate discussion website?
Because global warming / climate change is 97% political and 3% religious.
Not so sure. The religious aspect has been gaining adherence, and the Cult of Climate Change is stronger than ever.
Karl, what you must comprehend is that people dedicated to the true principles of science do not accept the very premise of apocalyptic man-made climate change as promoted by “believers” and politicians. At the heart of any valid science is freedom of debate, objective skepticism, and scientific methodology – all of which are denied by the aforementioned “believers” and politicians.
An example would be an attorney who brings to the court fraudulent evidence while also attempting to threaten a witness. The judge would not just render the evidence as inadmissible; he would throw the entire case out of court and have the attorney arrested on multiple charges. It’s much the same with the fraudulent and malicious presentation of the Climate Change Agenda. As science, it is poisoned beyond repair.
Moonbeam Brown is a airhead so is the pope
The pope and the Catholic Church can damn well stay out of politics. Start looking after punishing the hundreds of pedophiles and stay away from a subject the church knows nothing about.
I have a sneaking suspicion the pope isn’t what we think he is. I believe he is influenced or controlled by the UN, One World Government zealots, Islam and the environmental jihadists. It is no wonder the Church is losing members with a jerkoff leader like him. A sub-intelligent willing pawn?
pope francis is networking.
Odd that the head of a pedophilia sanctuary is welcomed by those who purport to have humanity’s best interests at heart. Harvey Weinstein and Al Franken must be muttering to themselves.
