Have you read it, /his/?
Have you read any of Francis' writings?
I rather liked this one, personally. It's very medieval, I might even call it a neomedieval work.

We don't support made up nonsense cults that worship invisible wizards.

What makes it especially medieval?
>>1660554
It's advocacy of inquisition tactics and calls for a new crusade.
>>1660554
It particularly emphasizes a sanctified view of the whole world which is very medieval, very Catholic, obviously derived from Aristotle filtered through Aquinas, Anselm, Bonaventure, and the like. In Laudato Si, violence done to the environment and violence done to humans is of a piece, and the cause of both is our failing to see the divine origins of the created world.

Is the catholic church involved in any green energy initiatives?
>>1660678
Yep. Started under Benedict, actually, and Francis has kept it going. All of Vatican City is on track to be powered by clean energy, I believe, and there's a push for the Vatican Bank to divest from fossil fuels.
Benedict's relationship with climate change and clean energy is actually really interesting, and worth delving into in its own right. He actually believed that by focusing on the disturbances of the natural world, he could highlight the concrete existence of an objective natural law, and so gradually draw people to God.

Interdasting. Makes me more concerned that people seem to dislike him and his politics, especially in relation to this US election. Sounds like an ok lad.

I've been dabbling on the idea of ecology seen through a religious lens for a while, i'm glad the pope has views on it
>>1660470
Can't say I have. Made it through some of Evangelum Gaium, though. It really impressed me with the interconnectedness of the work. He has a excellent sense on there not being categories of sin, or individual bullet points of orthodoxy, but a complete whole of Christian living, and an absolute opposition to it.

Perhaps because you're on a Taiwanese pottery forum?
I did, it's great. Francis is redpilled as fuck.

I don't think they advocated for gay marriage and socialism in the middle ages.

The Office of the Inquisition still exists, and is chaired by Ratzinger, the Hitler Youth.
The Catholic Cult couldn't be more evil if they tried.
>>1661960
They didn't give a shit back then. Middle Ages would be fairly liberal by today's standards just because nobody cared about buttsex or women doing things.
