Pope Francis Asks for Prayers to Ensure that COP28 Continues on the Path of Ecological Conversion

On Sunday, November 12, 2023, Pope Francis was leading the recitation of the Angelus prayer from the window of his apartment overlooking St. Peter’s Square. A large crowd gathered to join him in this Sunday devotion. During this celebration, the Pope was commenting on the civil war in Sudan, the Israel-Palestine conflict, and COP28, which is scheduled to take place at the end of this month in Dubai. He also called for prayers that the climate conference would continue on the path of ecological conversion. The Pope expressed:

• “Two years ago, the Laudato Si’ Action Platform was launched. I thank those who have joined in this initiative and encourage them to continue on the path of ecological conversion. In this regard, let us pray for the Dubai Climate Change Conference, COP28, which is now close at hand.” [1]

The ecological conversion that Pope Francis is referring to is not the biblical one, in which a person turns to God through faith and seeks spiritual transformation through the Holy Spirit after sincerely repenting of their sin. No. The conversion that will be emphasized at COP28 refers to a change in attitude towards the environment. The theory of ecological conversion is a new gospel that teaches that if we don’t embrace sustainability and become advocates for the environment, we are committing ecological sin by destroying Mother Earth, and you will face her wrath through the increasing number of natural disasters.

Let us repent of our “ecological sins”, as my brother, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, has urged. With the help of God’s grace, let us adopt lifestyles marked by less waste and unnecessary consumption. #SeasonOfCreation

The Bible says nothing about ecological conversion. There is no such thing as repentance for ecological sins, and Sunday is certainly not the ecological day of rest for us. Pope Francis is promoting doctrines that run counter to what Jesus Christ taught. This ecological conversion has become the new focal point for global efforts to address the climate crisis. Thanks to Rome, the churches are uniting their voices with the United Nations, business leaders, scientists, and various climate activists, and they have become virtually indistinguishable from one another in their new alliance.

It is a very serious matter when the church abandons the gospel of Christ, the Ten Commandments, and biblical truth and replaces these with a new morality that recognizes ecological sins against the planet. This has become Rome’s new moral obligation to deflect away from the change they have made against the law and God and the work they are doing to lead the world deeper and deeper into immorality and apostasy. Rome has adopted this as the new moral duty in an effort to divert attention from the changes they have made in God’s law as well as the work they are doing to lead the world further away from Bible truth.

Pope Francis is pushing climate proselytism while opposing true biblical proselytism, which urges people to repent of their sins and turn to Jesus for salvation. He is advocating his new invention called “ecological conversion” while neglecting the real deadly sins being committed openly in society. The man of sin is transforming and remodeling the world into an image of Rome.

Our real mission is to preach the everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ (Revelation 14:6) in the context of the Three Angels’ Message. This is our task. This is the good news of salvation. It is our duty to save souls, not the planet. This earth will burn, melt, and disappear when Jesus returns (2 Peter 3:10). Proclaiming these special truths while encouraging people to embrace a relationship with God through faith in Christ is our mission. May God help us to hold fast to this work and firmly resist the heresy of the climate conversion hysteria.
