Apparently, Catholics more concerned with eternal salvation than saving the planet
Oh no! It seems that a whopping 60% of U.S. Catholics do not share the same fervent belief in the power of the Pope to save the planet as the liberal elites do. In a shocking turn of events, a recent survey has revealed that Catholics are more concerned with their eternal salvation than with saving the environment.
The survey, conducted by the Pew Research Center, found that only 37% of U.S. Catholics believe that addressing climate change is a “moral obligation.” This is a stark contrast to the 80% of self-identified liberals who believe that addressing climate change is a moral imperative.
“We are appalled and dismayed by these findings,” said one liberal commentator. “How can these Catholics be so callous and uncaring about the future of our planet? Don’t they know that the Pope is the ultimate authority on all matters of faith and morality?”
The survey also found that Catholics are more likely to believe that the Pope’s teachings on social issues, such as abortion and same-sex marriage, are more important than his teachings on environmental issues.
“It’s clear that these Catholics are more concerned with their own personal salvation than with saving the planet,” said another liberal commentator. “They are putting their own selfish desires ahead of the greater good. It’s a shameful display of ignorance and short-sightedness.”
But not all Catholics are dismissive of the Pope’s message on climate change. Some have pointed out that the Pope’s teachings on the environment are not mutually exclusive with his teachings on social issues.
“As Catholics, we believe in the inherent dignity of all human beings, regardless of their political beliefs or affiliations,” said one Catholic spokesperson. “We believe in the importance of protecting the environment, but we also believe in the importance of protecting the unborn and the sanctity of human life. These are not mutually exclusive values, and we will continue to work towards a future that upholds all of these values.”
The survey’s findings have sparked a heated debate among Catholics and liberals alike, with each side accusing the other of being out of touch with reality.
“It’s clear that the Pope’s message on climate change is not resonating with many Catholics,” said one liberal commentator. “Perhaps they need to re-read the Bible and remember the part about ‘loving thy neighbor’ and ‘tending the garden of the Earth.'”
But not all Catholics are convinced by the liberal argument.
“The Pope’s message on climate change is just one aspect of his teachings,” said one Catholic spokesperson. “We will continue to follow his lead and work towards a future that is in line with our values, regardless of what the liberals say.”
The survey’s findings have left many liberals scratching their heads and wondering how to reach out to these wayward Catholics.
“We will just have to redouble our efforts and continue to preach the gospel of climate change to these heathens,” said one liberal commentator. “Perhaps then they will see the light and join us in our crusade to save the planet.”
But for now, it seems that the majority of U.S. Catholics will continue to prioritize their faith and their values over the liberal agenda.
