US Bishops Embrace Globalist Ecology Over the Kingship of Christ

Portal Catholic News Agency reports that USCCB committee chairs Abp. Borys Gudziak and Bp. A. Elias Zaidan, alongside Catholic Relief Services CEO Sean Callahan, have issued a statement urging COP30 conference participants to implement climate policies under the banner of “stewarding God’s creation.” The document quotes antipope Leo XIV’s call to “listen to the cry of the Earth” and invokes the 2015 Paris Agreement while framing environmental activism through the lens of Francis’ Laudato Si’. The statement reduces Catholic social teaching to secular sustainability goals, demanding wealth redistribution through “loss and damage financing” and “just transition” economic policies without mentioning the Social Reign of Christ the King or the Church’s divine mission.

Subordination of Supernatural Order to Naturalistic Utopianism

The bishops’ statement commits sacrilegious theft of theological language to endorse UN climate goals, declaring:

“Climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation are devastating communities already burdened by poverty and exclusion.”

This Marxist-framed grievance theology replaces the Church’s condemnation of actual sins – abortion, contraception, usury, and apostasy – with bourgeois environmental anxieties. Nowhere do these conciliar sect officials mention that the earth is cursed (Genesis 3:17) due to Original Sin, nor that ecological disasters manifest God’s justice against nations embracing child sacrifice and sodomy. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas establishes Christ’s universal kingship as the only solution to societal chaos: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony” (n. 19). The USCCB’s climate alarmism constitutes blasphemous inversion – treating carbon emissions as greater evils than the 63 million American children murdered by abortion since 1973.

Laudato Si’ as Modernist Scripture

By elevating Laudato Si’ to doctrinal status (“Pope Francis reminded us…”), these neo-modernists commit three heresies condemned in Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane:

  1. That “divine revelation is imperfect, and therefore subject to continual and indefinite progress” (Proposition 5)
  2. That “truth… develops with man, in him, and through him” (Proposition 58)
  3. That “Christian doctrine was initially Jewish… then Pauline… finally Greek and universal” (Proposition 60)

The document’s call for “integral ecology” – a term invented by Teilhard de Chardin – constitutes pantheism condemned by Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors: “There exists no Supreme, all-wise, all-provident Divine Being, distinct from the universe” (Proposition 1). When Gudziak’s committee claims environmental degradation “ignores our responsibility as one human family,” they parrot Rousseau’s social contract theory, denying the unica salus – that outside the Church there is no salvation.

Collaboration With Antichrist Structures

The bishops’ demand that nations “recommitting to implementation [of Paris Agreement]” constitutes formal cooperation with the UN’s anti-Christian agenda. Consider:

  • The UN Population Fund funds China’s forced abortion programs
  • UNESCO promotes comprehensive sexuality education to children
  • COP conferences advance population control as “climate solution”

Pius IX’s Syllabus explicitly condemns such globalist collaboration: “The Roman pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself and come to terms with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Proposition 80). The USCCB’s climate statement fulfills this condemned error by treating the UN as moral arbiter rather than denouncing it as a synagoga Satanae.

Omission of Christocentric Solutions

Nowhere in the 500-word statement do the bishops mention:

  • The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
  • Penance and reparation for sins
  • The necessity of baptism
  • Christ’s Redemptive Sacrifice

This silence proves their apostasy. As Pius XI teaches in Quas Primas, true peace comes only when “kings and princes… obey [Christ] and religiously reverence his majesty” (n. 18). The USCCB offers not the Kingship of Christ, but the tyranny of carbon credits – not Eucharistic adoration, but sustainability summits. Their “prayers of support” for COP30 delegates constitute sacrilege, as Vatican II’s fake clergy lack sacerdotal power to offer valid prayer.

Theological Consequences of Climate Idolatry

By demanding “loss and damage financing” – UN code for Western reparations – the USCCB promotes usury and theft contrary to Rerum Novarum. Their “just transition” rhetoric disguises Communist wealth redistribution, condemned by Pius XI in Divini Redemptoris as “satanic scourge.” Most damningly, they replace the Depositum Fidei with Gaia-worship, fulfilling Romans 1:25: “They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator.”

This climate statement constitutes formal heresy under Canon 188 ยง4 of the 1917 Code, which declares offices vacant for those who “publicly defect from the Catholic faith.” Until these conciliar sect officials repent and return to the pre-1958 Magisterium, their pronouncements carry less spiritual weight than a UN resolution.
