Pope names ‘most dangerous’ sin

Pope Francis news

Gluttony is “killing the planet,” the Catholic leader has warned during a sermon.

Pope Francis has singled out gluttony as possibly the most serious sin of all, citing its destructive impact on the planet. The Catholic leader said that while there is nothing wrong with enjoying meals, humans have developed an habit of immoderation when it comes to food.

The Pope has previously warned that the world as we know it is “collapsing and may be nearing the breaking point” amid rapidly accelerating climate change and inaction by global leaders. Last October, he named developed Western nations as the main culprits behind the crisis.

Speaking during his weekly General Audience on Wednesday, the Pontiff argued that from a social viewpoint, gluttony is “perhaps the most dangerous vice that is killing the planet.” He denounced the “voracity with which we have been lashing out, for the past few centuries, at the planet’s goods.”

Having increasingly adopted a predatory attitude to food and resources in the broader sense of the word, humans have “abjured the name of men” to instead become “consumers,” Pope Francis claimed.

He observed that a growing number of people appear to have an imbalanced relationship with food, which manifests in eating disorders. According to the Pope, these disorders are “mostly related to the torments of the psyche and soul.”

“Food is the manifestation of something inner: the predisposition to balance or immoderation… the empathy of those who know how to share food with the needy, or the selfishness of those who hoard everything for themselves,” he said.

In his Apostolic Exhortation in October, the Catholic leader wrote that the consequences of climate change in the form of “extreme weather phenomena” are becoming increasingly harder to ignore.

He went on to dismiss the notion that poorer nations bear the lion’s share of responsibility for global warming, pointing out that “emissions per individual in the United States are about two times greater than those of individuals living in China, and about seven times greater than the average of the poorest countries.”

The Pope also lamented an apparent lack of interest in tackling the situation on the part of major economic powers.

  1. Genocides never have gluttony via over-feeding- that is why the ‘Church’ is quiet in condemning the Genocides that Israel has created!
    Israel OWNS both Catholic and Protestant religions…just as gluttonous John Hagee has demonstrated by kowtowing to Bibi at Hagee’s church when Bibi visited there!..
    Fat fucking demonic pigs they are, deceiving the masses who can’t think for themselves in any critical form!!!

    • Tu Est Otra Christus; (Trans.)- ‘You are another Christ’ or…Anti-Christ. An ‘Anti’ means ‘in place of’ and not ‘in opposition to’.
      Plus;
      The Roman Numerical translation of ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’ when added up equals…(YOU GUESSED IT>>>!) – 666
      That phrase means ‘Vicar to the Son of God’, as Vicars are a form of ‘anti’.
      ALL religions are corrupted, and this is what is the basis for the Hamas-Israeli War, AND the Ukraine -Russian War. Religion aside, the greed of natural resources translates into MONEY, the root of all evil!
      That’s why I quit both direct and indirect contact with ALLLLLL religions!
      Just received the Pirate Bible as a gift from a person who’s ‘concerned for my soul’. LMAO in reading the phraseology, whitten in ‘Pirate-speak’!
      BAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAW….LALALALALALALA….

  2. Christianity the Beast of Revelation 13:11 “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.”
    Which came up out of the earth Europe

    Old Gods become new Saints
    As bogus as a $3 bill

  3. Oh well bread and water, basic steamed veg in the Papal city from now on, no more cars , walking everywhere and lots of fasting, its good for the soul.

  4. This ex-bouncer forgets to mention the root of inequality, poverty and eternal financial struggle of non-privileged classes: the global financial system/scam, designed and instituted by j3ws. ALL wealth and property will be in the hands of very few. Read “The Great Taking”, a short but most eyeopening book, free on the net.

  5. Blind leaders leading the blind into the ditch
    Church doctrine dogma
    In the days of Jesus the Traditions of the Elders
    Now the Traditions of Men
    And not the Word of YAHWAH god
    Churchianity hides behind the facade of the Bible and uses it as a shield
    But does not teach anything that is true
    https://www.blueletterbible.org/search/search.cfm?Criteria=trinity&t=KJV&ss=1#s=s_primary_0_1
    It is an extremely evil and insidious institution
    The Covid psychological propaganda indoctrination lasted around two years
    This has been going on for at least 2500 years
    And before
    And is very deeply entrenched
