On Saturday, September 4, 2021, at 5 p.m., the Roman Catholic Diocese of Forlì-Bertinoro is scheduled to celebrate the National Day for the Protection of Creation. The theme of the event is called “walking a new life.” However, this does not refer to the new life we have in Christ, but to a “true ecological transition” and “conversion of families and parishes” (churches).
The news was published by the Roman Catholic dioceses [1] and by the secular media [2] and they both mention by name some of the other “associations, movements, companies, parish groups, religious communities, exponents of other religions who in recent years have been involved in various ways on the issue of the environment” that would also be in attendance, namely the “Orthodox, Adventist and Muslim communities.” [1] [2]
The news reports also mention that a “Laudato Si’ exhibition” would be on display commemorating Pope Francis’ encyclical on climate change, which could also be set up in other churches and parishes. Finally, on Sunday, September 5, 2021, some of the churches would take their intentions of experiencing a true ecological transition to their respective Sunday Masses. [1] [2]
These new climate churches have been stripped of their redemptive work. They no longer have preachers, but climate alarmists who create panic and fear. This new artificial religion on climate cannot help sinners in need of salvation. They no longer even serve the Creator of the universe; now they serve and honor the plants. Jesus has been replaced by environmental activists who now proclaim “climate justice” and Sunday laws.
With no redemption for sinners and no hope for the lost, the religion of climate change offers no solutions for our greatest need – sin. It only preaches depression, anxiety and the fact that we are in the beginning of a mass extinction, unless we act now. And it is tragic that Seventh-day Adventists who are supposed to understand the First Angel’s Message on creation and on the Sabbath are buying into the climate religion that is void of any kind of salvation.
Why would we accept Rome’s belief system that puts our complete trust in humans rather than in the God who created us? The climate religion is the new Mother Earth idolatry of this age. In his letter to the Corinthian church, the apostle Paul gives the following admonition:
“Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.” 1 Corinthians 10:14.
“Thousands deify nature while they deny the God of nature. Though in a different form, idolatry exists in the Christian world today as verily as it existed among ancient Israel in the days of Elijah. The God of many professedly wise men, of philosophers, poets, politicians, journalists—the God of polished fashionable circles, of many colleges and universities, even of some theological institutions—is little better than Baal, the sun-god of Phoenicia” (Great Controversy, p. 583).
Idolatry is very much alive today. It is only more disguised. Don’t get too attached to the earth. Jesus described in Matthew 24 all the signs of the end time and clearly says that:
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” Matthew 24:35
The earth will pass away not because we didn’t pass the proper climate legislation or because we didn’t pass enough Sunday laws. The earth will come to an end one day because Jesus will return to create a new heaven and a new earth.
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.” Revelation 21:1.
In the meantime, we should work to spread the Three Angels’ Message, which has all the answers for the crisis we see today. We should try to reach the world with God’s true message of redemption.

It’s interesting that they are always mentioned as “Adventist” in these scenarios
and not as “Seventh Day Adventist”,
because the “Seventh Day” part is a direct rebuke to “Rome”.
Kestutis says
Good view point you make. Amen.
Chris says
Awesome observation

Catholics can see what Francis is doing is wrong
But SDA’s can’t see
Shame
SDA’s can’t see
Because
KJV Revelation 3:17
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Tim says
Amen
Pasteur Samuel NGEMBWA says
Merci pour l’homme qui a publié et commenté cette information.
Nous en tant qu’Eglise Adventiste du 7ème Jour, ne devons pas nous joindre dans ces bêtises idolâtrieques.
Le document LAUDATO SI est un document rempli d’idolâtrie. Il faut vraiment que ces Adventistes italiens s’expliquent les raisons biblico-adventiste qui les ont poussées à se joindre dans cette idolâtrie.
En tant que pasteur, j’ai déjà lu le document LAUDATO SI, il n’y que idolâtrie.
FK Ochieng says
I just hope the Adventist dint do that on the sabbath. That is wrong. There are 6 days for such things. The 7th day is for worship.
But I have a question, is caring for our environment the wrong thing to do or focusing on it more than the 3 angles message ?
Janeé says
There’s nothing wrong with caring about the environment, but the Catholic church is using it to further they’re Sunday law agenda, so i have no idea why SDA’s there thought attending this was a good idea
