This article was spotted and shared by M.C. with our gratitude, and it constitutes the center of today’s high octane speculation, or rather, I should say, a high octane prediction-as-speculation, or speculation-as-prediction. And I should also say, that the speculation is M.C.’s as well, I just happen to concur with it, and only threw few little “garnishes” on the side of the original dish. But here’s the main course:
Vatican claims Mass is ‘ecological school’ in ‘climate change’ document
Yes, you read that correctly: the Vatican of Mr. Robert Prevost, a.k.a. Pope Leo XIV, has released a document in which the Eucharist, the Sacrifice of the Mass, the central rite of Roman Catholicism (and for that matter, the central rite of all sacramental forms of Christianity) has been defined to be a “school of ecology” presumably to teach us all about how to care for Mother Earth:

A lengthy document published by the International Theological Commission entitled “Caring for our Common Home – A Responsible and Fraternal Response to the Triune God” refers to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as an “ecological school.”
In the September 2 document(opens in new tab) focusing on the environment, “ecological conversion,” and so-called “climate change,” the Theological Commission devoted an entire paragraph (Chapter 2, section 108) to describing the Mass and the Holy Eucharist as an “ecological school.” While this paragraph acknowledges that the Mass is meant to offer glory to God, it appears to diminish the Mass and the Blessed Sacrament as a means of “caring for creation.”
“From the Eucharist flows a spirituality capable of supporting and encouraging the ecological conversion that we so urgently need to undertake as a human family,” the document said. “In it, we recognize God’s gifts in nature. Our intellect opens itself to the transparency of God in creation.”
(I don’t know about you, but this appears to me to have all the permanence and stability of a puff of gray smoke in a hurricane… )
As most readers of this website know, I am a curmudgeon when it comes to things “religious and Christian,” and whenever modernist clerics start issuing lengthy documents full of obvious and self-evident platitudes like, “we need to take care of Mother Earth”, and justifying their doing so as merely “developing” an “already implicit _______ teaching” (insert your favored adjective in the blank: Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Coptic, &c), and doing so as a “pastoral” correction to an “overemphasis on doctrine”, you can bet your bottom dollar that big revolutionary changes are in store, and in a church where recent popes are more welcoming to the pagan idol Pachamama, or to Muslim calls to prayer, or to Jewish bible scholars on Scripture commissions, while remaining increasingly hostile to Catholics who like the Tridentine Latin mass and insist on having bishops for it, something is very, very wrong. You only need to claim infallibility and demand obedience if you intend to change the faith in major ways. Otherwise it might be too obvious and people will start calling it what it really is: apostasy. (As for that bit of fluff about “the Triune God”, which triune God are we talking about? Father Son and Holy Ghost? One Nous and World Soul? Brahma Vishnu and Shiva? This is the modern Vatican, after all, and one can’t be too careful.) In any case, I submit that the revolutionary intention has already been revealed; it is already evident in the fact that “creation masses”, according to the article, have already been celebrated, and by Mr. Prevost a.k.a. Pope Leo XIV, himself, no less:
Since the beginning of his pontificate, Pope Leo XIV has repeatedly emphasized environmental concerns, authorizing the “Mass for the Care of Creation” within months of his election.
During the inaugural “Care of Creation” Mass, Leo claimed that the “world is burning” and highlighted an alleged need for “conversion” among those who do not yet prioritize “the urgency of caring for our common home.” This week, he
opened(opens in new tab) the second “Season of Creation” of his pontificate by celebrating another “Care of Creation” Mass.
So what might the major changes in store here be? Well, M.C. said it in the email that accompanied the article and I had to concur: perhaps this is a way to so fundamentally change the nature of the mass that no opposition to women’s ordination can be made: after all, if the service is in aid of ecological care for Mother Earth, then all the better to have to turn over the whole show to women. One might even develop “ecological” counterparts to Marian doctrine, “reasoning” thusly: since all graces in sacraments are accompanied by a physical matter, and that matter comes from Mother Earth, then the Earth herself might be dogmatically defined as a Co-Redemptrix and Medatrix of all graces, making explicit what is now only implicit. We already know of Mr. Globaloney’s plans for a new “Gaia religion”, and this latest pronouncement seems entirely condign to it. If one did not know better, one might think that the clergy were targets for infiltration by secret societies, or intelligence services, or both… … oh… wait… I forgot… too late…
And as for all those “bows” to traditional Roman Catholic doctrine reported in the article, rest assured that they are purely pro forma, and nothing more, i.e., they are designed to “help the revolution through”, much as the Prayer Book revisions in the Episcopal church in 1976 included rites that appeared very traditional and very “high church”. They were designed solely to get the traditionalists on board with the revolution, but once the revolution was in place, the traditional rite was increasingly frowned upon and jettisoned for the newer rites. It is the same here: the traditional language is there only to ensure the continuing loyalty of actual, traditional Roman Catholics (and their Sunday offerings in the collection plate), and nothing more.
