Climate change and global warming is real, how the world is addressing it is probably not the right way. (And yes the world is going to get burnt up anyway, however it doesn't mean we should trash it.) First of all the world needs to turn to Jesus, secondly the mega rich need to stop being so greedy, the overconsumption of things is clearly not helping.
On the social justice stuff, I believe Jesus cares and hears the cries of refugees.
However social justice can be misused too or misrepresented maybe the better word should I say, there is nothing just about abortion and euthanasia.
I see no wrong with the Pope Leo's position on climate change and immigrants.
Well, yeah, I still live on the earth too.
It is about our spiritual priorities.
Here it is for relevance. You know the early church did good works, worshipped God, told people about Christ and were looking forward to these things, as in the second coming of the Lord to deliver them from this world and give them the world to come.
I suppose you can say for Catholics, here is what the first pope taught. Peter was right on the message in all his writings
2 Peter 3
Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in
both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), 2 that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of [
a]us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, 3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as
they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6 by which the world
that then existed perished, being flooded with water. 7 But the heavens and the earth
which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and [
b]perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day
is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning
His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward [
c]us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
The Day of the Lord
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be [
d]burned up. 11 Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner
of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
Be Steadfast
14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and consider
that the longsuffering of our Lord
is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable
people twist to their own destruction, as
they do also the rest of the Scriptures.
17 You therefore, beloved, since you know
this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
To Him
be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
