Popes encyclical letter, Laudato Si, for Worldwide Day of Rest - 06/01/20 02:42 PM

If you go through the May 2020 Popes encyclical letter, 'Laudato Si', you find is suggested to be enforced by the nations.

Pope Francis May 2020 plan is to rally Nations behind Climate Change and Sunday law.

The encyclical is called Laudato Si, and is the Pope's encyclical on climate change, which looks on the surface as just reducing carbon emissions, carpooling, planting trees and recycling, etc....But in the encyclical, the Pope suggest also a worldwide day of rest, Sundays with keeping a better environment.

The implication here is that we need to have a law mandating rest on Sunday, so it appears that his agenda on climate change includes giving Sunday rest and worship mandated by law to improve the environment.. The Pope is asking the world to join this rest, take a look..


May 2020 encyclical letter 'Laudato S?i'.
"...As part of this year's anniversary activities, a 'Laudato Si' Action Platform will also be launched, with various institutions committing to a 7-year project aimed at reaching total sustainability in the spirit of Laudato S'i.
Among the goals of the platform, according to the Vatican's department for Integral Human Development, are adopting simpler lifestyles and developing ?ecological economics? based on sustainable production, fair trade, using less plastic and adopting a more plant-based diet to reduce meat consumption, as well as a broader use of public transport in order to reduce pollution.
According to their communique, the Vatican's development office intends to launch the platform in early 2021 by inviting several institutions to begin the 7-year project. The following year, they will encourage a new group to join, with the hope of doubling the number of entities committing to the 7-year plan.
?In this way we are planning to grow a Laudato Si ' inspired network that continues to expand and grow exponentially each year,' they said, noting that this initiative will continue for each consecutive year of the new decade, with the goal of arriving at the 'critical mass' needed in order to lead a 'radical societal transformation' inspired by Pope Francis in Laudato Si......"https://cruxnow.com/vatican/2020/05/vatican-launches-year-long-celebration-of-laudato-si/

The encyclical letter Laudato Si is available here on the Vatican website. And so we come to the notion of rest, or more accurately, Sabbath:
237. On Sunday, our participation in the Eucharist has special importance. Sunday, like the Jewish Sabbath, is meant to be a day which heals our relationships with God, with ourselves, with others and with the world. Sunday is the day of the Resurrection, the 'first day' of the new creation, whose first fruits are the Lord's risen humanity, the pledge of the final transfiguration of all created reality. It also proclaims '(humankind's) eternal rest in God'.[CCC 2175] In this way, Christian spirituality incorporates the value of relaxation and festivity. http://w2.vatican.va/content/france...0150524_enciclica-laudato-si.pdf#page=47

And look how everyone agrees what a great idea....

One of the commenters on your YouTube link "look how everyone agrees What a great idea....", asked how we would be prevented from keeping the Sabbath after the passage of the Sunday law? The following words from The Great Controversy (1888) page - 590 seem to indicate we will be persecuted for spreading the Sabbath message.

"It will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the Sunday-sabbath, that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly enforced, AND THAT THOSE WHO PRESENT THE CLAIMS OF THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT, THUS DESTROYING REVERENCE FOR SUNDAY, ARE TROUBLERS OF THE PEOPLE, PREVENTING THEIR RESTORATION TO DIVINE FAVOUR AND TEMPORAL PROSPERITY. Thus the accusation urged of old against the servant of God will be repeated, and upon grounds equally well established."

Does this sound like hate speech laws will be employed to silence Sabbath keepers.

Well if you don't go along and agree with it, they will certainly say you are a cause of the "suffering" of the earth as the Pope said, and they will get enforcement through the government. Now you can see how the image of the Beast now assist the Beast to enforce a day of rest, 'for the earth', and you see the meaning of the 'mark on the hand' for those who follow it for secular reasons versus those who believe for religious reasons.

Here are the agreements they have hammered out so far...
"History of UN Climate Talks
The Paris Agreement is the culmination of a quarter-century of international climate diplomacy launched with the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Here?s a brief recap of the evolution of the global climate effort and the role played by the United States.

UNFCCC
President George H.W. Bush joined more than other worlds leaders at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit to adopt a series of international environmental agreements, including the UNFCCC. The president later ratified the UNFCCC with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate, and the agreement has since been embraced by virtually every nation on earth.

The UNFCCC sets a long-term objective of avoiding dangerous human interference with the climate system. Toward that end, the agreement:

commits all nations to take steps to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions;
establishes the principle of ?common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities? (CBDRRC), recognizing that countries vary in their contributions to climate change and capacities to address it, so their obligations will likewise vary; and
commits developed countries to assist developing countries in reducing emissions and coping with climate impacts.
Governed by the Conference of Parties (COP), which meets annually, the UNFCCC serves as the foundation of an evolving global climate effort.

Kyoto Protocol
At COP 1 in 1995, UNFCCC parties decided to accelerate climate efforts by launching negotiations toward a first sub-agreement. They agreed that, consistent with the principle of CBDRRC, the new agreement would establish binding targets and timetables for reduce developed country emissions, but no new commitments for developing countries. (In the nonbinding Byrd-Hagel resolution, the U.S. Senate rejected this premise, saying the agreement should also include new greenhouse gas limits for developing countries.)

The resulting Kyoto Protocol was adopted at COP 3 in 1997. Largely at the insistence of the United States, the agreement incorporated a series of ?flexible,? or market-based, mechanisms enabling developed countries to use different forms of emissions trading to achieve their targets more cost-effectively. President Clinton, however, never submitted the protocol to the Senate, and shortly after his election, President George W. Bush announced that the U.S. would not ratify it.

Other countries proceeded to ratify the agreement and it entered into force in 2005. Its initial emission targets, however, extended only through 2012, and when it came time to negotiate a second round through 2020, several other developed countries declined to go along. The Kyoto Protocol technically remains in force, but its targets cover only a small fraction of global emissions, and there is no expectation of future targets. One element of the protocol that may continue is the Clean Development Mechanism, which certifiable emission reductions in developing countries as tradable emission offsets.

Copenhagen and Cancun Agreements
As it became clear that the Kyoto Protocol was faltering, UNFCCC parties struggled to develop an alternative framework that would facilitate stronger action by all countries, both developed and developing.

The 2007 Bali Action Plan launched talks aimed at a new agreement providing for the UNFCCC?s ?full, effective and sustained implementation.? The agreement was to be adopted at COP 15 in Copenhagen in 2009. More than 100 world leaders converged on Copenhagen for the summit, but negotiators were unable to overcome their differences. President Barack Obama and other leaders stepped in to quickly hammer out the Copenhagen Accord, but a handful of countries objected, keeping it from being formally adopted by the COP.

The Copenhagen Accord, while only a political agreement, reflected significant progress on several fronts. It set a goal of limiting global temperature increase to 2 degrees Celsius; called on all countries to put forward mitigation pledges; established broad terms for the reporting and verification of countries? actions; set a goal of mobilizing $100 billion a year by 2020 in public and private finance for developing countries; and called for the establishment of a new Green Climate Fund.

At COP 16 the following year in Cancun, parties adopted the Cancun Agreements, effectively formalizing the essential elements of the Copenhagen Accord under the UNFCCC. The Cancun Agreements were regarded as an interim arrangement through 2020, and parties left the door open to further negotiations toward a legally binding successor to the Kyoto Protocol.

Paris Agreement
At COP 17 in Durban, South Africa, parties adopted the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action, launching talks aimed at achieving a comprehensive new agreement starting in 2020."

It seems as if a Sunday law is already hovering over us, simply waiting for the USA to be shaped up for it's role to enforce it.

Just some comments:

There's the pope's appeal for the Laudato Si' in which he calls attention to the cry of Earth and of the poor and invites everyone to take part in the Laudate Si' year, which is promoted by the Dicastery for promoting Integral Human Development and runs from 24th May, 2020 to 24 May 2121

Quote
Pope Francis referred to the pandemic and the turbulence it has caused in the world. On this feast day, he said ?let us entrust to the intercession of Our Lady all the disciples of the Lord and all persons of good will who, in this difficult time, in every part of the world work with passion and commitment for peace, for dialogue among nations, for the service of the poor, for the care of creation and for the victory of humanity over every illness of the body, of the heart and of the soul.?.....
Prayer....
Enable us to succeed in listening and responding
to the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor.
May their current sufferings become the birth-pangs
of a more fraternal and sustainable world.

We pray through Christ our Lord,
under the loving gaze of Mary Help of Christians,


There is something that sounds very much like pantheism (the Christianized version) in all this.
Earth is our sister, our mother, etc etc.

Quote
Nature is sending us a message with the coronavirus pandemic and the ongoing climate crisis...Jubilee for the Earth' is the theme of Autumn's Season of Creation. And a 'Creation Sunday' in September will be introduced. ...A Jubilee will mean strangleholds of debt and poverty being lifted, and the planet being delivered from human-induced environmental disasters.....We have also learnt that global challenges require systemic changes by government, the corporate world, and individual behaviour. We have seen over recent weeks that governments can take radical action and that we can change our behaviour quickly. ...We have stopped for a virus. Let's use this time to think hard about what we want the world to look like when we come out the other side.....
We must learn basic lessons about cooperating with each other, about listening to experts, and about the role that governments can play when they put their minds to it. 'Jubilee for the Earth' is a timely theme for the Season of Creation - 1 September to 4 October. Bishop Marc Stenger of Troyes, Co-President of Pax Christi, said last month: Laudato Si' "is a monumental gift which could become more and more our Charter in the post-coronavirus era" (ICN May 10, 2020)

The thing is, it wont be put as 'worship' for the people. but as 'climate change', and you see how the young have been taught it at school, at colleges and universities. So every tool will come into play to sweep you along and overwhelm you, including family, friends and even your own sons and daughters.

Yes, the more I look the more I find, its like a worldwide wave. This is being pushed by unseen forces, and now the Pope is bringing it to a head...

"The 10:10 movement supported by the Guardian is a wonderful way to empower ordinary people to participate in the great movement of mitigating global warming. We cannot wait until governments are enlightened enough to legislate and cap the carbon emissions. Matters are urgent. We have to act now, without any delay. The power of public opinion and citizen action will have a strong impact on the climate conference taking place in Copenhagen.

One thing we can easily do to achieve this goal: we can declare Sunday to be a fossil fuel-free day or a low-carbon day or at least an energy-saving day. We can start this week, this month or in 2010. We can start individually and collectively. The long journey to cut carbon dioxide emissions can start in the here and now."

Once A Week, Give Our Beautiful Planet A Day Of Rest. A Green Sabbath Day.


Description

Summary

Green Sabbath is a non-religious, non-political, and non-profit campaign which aims to raise awareness and to encourage people to help slow climate change, preserve precious natural resources and improve planet health by observing at least one carbon footprint-free day each week--on any day of the week. We call it symbolically A Green Sabbath day.
