Pope Francis on Saturday urged people to pull investments from companies that are not committed to protecting the environment, adding his voice to calls for the economic model that emerges from the coronavirus pandemic to be a sustainable one.

Francis spoke in a video message for an online event called “Countdown Global Launch, A Call to Action on Climate Change”.

The pope listed three action points: better education about the environment, sustainable agriculture and access to clean water, and a transition away from fossil fuels. He said the pandemic had made the need to address the climate crisis and related social problems even more pressing.

Thank your holiness for speaking up to those who do not voice,and holding those accountable,to live up to their moral obligations which their families and others close to them have to confront!!

Just wonder why he is interesting in economics!

StephenJBL Excellent idea! 👍

StephenJBL Tax churches

what a load of pish they are wealthy as fuck share the catholic chuch wealth in their trillions gold every bloody where

What a racket

Typical globalist shill.

Is he looking after finance minister portfolio.

This guy believes communism not the god.

He definitely watched David attenborough's witness statement: A Life On Our Planet on Netflix

Support BDSmovement

Who’s listening?

Pope needs to abolish his Swiss guard and hire community counselors. And the entire Catholic church needs to invest at least ninety percent of all its money, artworks, gold and real estate into environment causes. And then....maybe then...I might actually believe he's sincere.😏

Stick to praying pal.

how about adding companies that manufacture weaponry ?

The best ever idea to address the issue.

Hey Pontifex. Agree 100%. Old Pell needs to get on the same page. His IPA, coal and Murdochracy buddies are toxic in Australia. Tell Georgie Boy, it's my way or the highway - back down under

The irony in the Pope giving investment advice while simultaneously railing against capitalism.

Disastrous lack of judgement and interference in matters not to be commented on by pope

The popes donors have said

Pls keep within religion

Stop donating to the Catholic church until this pope is gone.

Sorrowfully, the pope doesn’t understand economics or sociology.

Thank you mr Pope

The Pope cares more about living things except the suppressed human around the world. Ask him about genocide in EastTurkistan? He might just turn a blind eye and blame the capitalism, which is unrelated. PopetheDemon

This is great news!

How about the millions of trees cut for the chrismas ?

The church should be separated from the state, dictating to pull investment according to their own bias determination of individuals whether you are Christian or not the pollution is coming from China, India and many other third world countries

Also companies that are part of the concentration camp/ slave labor complex in Xinjiang. FreeUyghurs BoycottChina

If we believe the science, how can we believe in you?

The environment includes children subject to sexual molestation by Priests endorsed by Pope Francis. Stop contributions to the Vatican State

Pull investments from those molesting minors around the world hidden behind a religious curtains.

I wonder if that includes all the banks the Vatican owns? 🤔

All Catholics, get your Bishops to open their eyes, God is begging us to see what is before us. No Pope would be in favor of ABORTION. PLEASE, HELP OUR FAITH AND WORLD. SATAN IS HERE. REVELATIONS IS HERE!

I love this guy.

Solidarity is what we need as human race. Nigerian youths need world solidarity to end Police brutality. EndPoliceBrutality EndPoliceBrutalityinNigeria EndSARS

Oh Pope Francis, who are you backing!!! This is so very wrong. All my Roman Catholic life I was taught to believe what came out of your mouth, you are so very wrong!! You are the AntiChrist, and I have felt it for a long time. Bishops help!!!

Okay are we all willing to accept that this guy is a socialist politician not a religious leader? Or are Catholics REALLY this delusional?

Well let's hope he leads by example and cleans up the Vatican Bank ... 'Vatican's wealth put at $10-15 billion. The Vatican has big investments in banking, insurance, chemicals, steel, construction, real estate....' ...tax free of course ...

Pull investments from countries not committed to environment.

Perhaps the Catholic Church needs to address what their priests are touching long before they worry about anything else. 🙄

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pull investments from irresponsible companies full-stop - dump Facebook, Google, Amazon

Armenian Armed Forces fired 2 ballistic missiles at Ganja city on 11.10. 2020, during humanitarian ceasefire! 5 civilians killed! Justice for Azerbaijan! StopArmenianTerrorism StopArmenianOccupation DontBelieveArmenia KarabakhisAzerbaijan

And pull the church for working with the CCP.

as well as those with suspected ties to the mafias!

Holy Batman Father.

...got it! Peanut butter...mmm, racist & climate degrading...we must ban peanut butter.... come with me, infantile thinker, we must ban this peanut buttery-substance, must. Must... Frankenstein gurgle

احسن برضو ..برافو عليه و الله

Pope Demagogue II

SARS men of PoliceNG are not committed to Nigerians ! Police of Fortune... EndSARS

Smartest thing to ever come out of the Vatican

I am not Muslim, as I can not deceive myself, that Islam is a way of life. Islam is a way of dying and killing, nothing to do with living. 1400 years history of Islam is a good proof for my claim. من_مسلمان_نیستم

Kudos.. now for a Pro/ Family Planning Catholicism..!!

Erm (scratches head) the Pope just praised the worlds worst offender - China?

Am I the only one waiting for the Pope to address the culture of rape in the Catholic church before he touches on the environment 🤔

Pope francis is in the plans for a new world order..I don't like those people..

I wonder why the pope finds it hard to leave God's creation and they changes they undergo to God. Enough with these climate political scripts. That should be for temporal corrupt politicians to exploit as they usually do.

But keep tithing to the biggest child rape organization in human history, he also says.

That would be the Catholic Church. The biggest cause of global climate change is over population of first world people. The biggest advocates of reproduction is the Catholic Church. PLEASE Pope, stop asking Catholics to have more than 2 babies. It’s your job. Make it happen.

What about: pull out of innocent children before getting on your morality high horse?

Now do... Pull investments not committed to human rights. CCPChina UyghurGenocide Tibet

Stay out of politics pope Francis.

Who give a damn shit, hypocrite.

You want 'Taming and destroying bad companies.' But which country do you want to be?

I'd like to see the Vatican truly put their money where their mouths are.

Maybe tell that to CardinalDolan. He has embraced the entire trump administration

How can they control the climate if they can't control a virus?

I agree Francis, only invest in those companies who are doing the right thing by Mother Nature and the future generations that will inherit her. 😉

Simonpeter14S thank you Pope

Who is listening to this fossil?

Now the pope controls the economy and not the religion ? A real communist this pope is

Uh thanks pope.
