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.

Although I am not a believer, or supportive of any institution as powerful as CC & I recognise the irony in criticising monopolies, I do appreciate this - Vatican II attempted to challenge capitalism, it is now imperative that Pope Francis emboldens criticism to save the planet.

Vatican lost it's ways a long time ago,people left church left n right

Could he be The AC?

Evil

I’m catholic and question whether the pope is overstepping

Dishonest Donald aka PresCovid19 aka Trumpavirus created his purported Covid19 infection to deflect attention and media away from the Black Lives Matter movement and protests. Proof is that this demagogue has not mentioned anything about his FLOTUS's health or any of his staff.

saint_marche Never, ever, mix politics with religion.

That is, hurting companies that do not align with the LaudatoSi encyclical that seeks to impose a mandatory day of rest for the earth: Babylonian Sunday SundayLaw

As a practicing Catholic pope take care of your house first. Lead the way by example.

We could feed a village for a couple of days from his jewelry. 🤔

at the very least, that's a more acceptable method than advocating for one group of people (government) to point guns at another group of people (private individuals and companies) to violently coerce cooperation regardless of consent.

How about you concentrate on pulling the lost sinners to Jesus Christ and less of your time on politics. This is one of the worst Popes in history. You are just a man. Remember that. You don't save only Jesus Christ saves.

How you gunna find $ to pay off victims of rape by pedophile clergy if you do that? Maybe you should just stay in your lane and lead investment direction to the account owners.

This pope is pushing Catholics out faster than a Muslim at a barbecue.

I'm Catholic and I respect the pope but I think he should stay out of it. This Pope is too political.

Pull investments from priests and cardinals that do bad things. The Catholic Church needs to clean up their own backyard first.

Pull your support from the catholic church untill they deal with their pedophile/child abuse issues

Pull pedophiles from your ranks, Francis. Or, people should divest from the Catholic Church. How about protecting that environment? DivestthePeds

With all due respect, you should take care of your Priests and their actions then talk about other things....

Pull investments from companies aligned with the child-rape cabal headquartered in Rome.

We don't care about what the Pope has to say about our investments
