The new lifestyle of Bergoglio does not convert to Christ, but unites all against consumerism (Video Propaganda of February 2016)

 

A)  The text of the speech by J.M.Bergoglio:

Believers and unbelievers agree that the earth is our common heritage, the fruits of which should benefit everyone.
However, what is happening in the world we live in?
The relationship between poverty and the fragility of the planet requires another way of managing the economy and measuring progress, conceiving a new way of living.
Because we need a change that unites us all Free from the slavery of consumerism.
This month I make a special request: That we may take good care of creation–a gift freely given–cultivating and protecting it for future generations.
Caring for our common home
(Text of the J. M. Bergoglio video – February 2016)

B) References to Scriptures:

So Jesus spoke to them again: In all truth I tell you, I am the gate of the sheepfold. All who have come before me are thieves and bandits, but the sheep took no notice of them. I am the gate. Anyone who enters through me will be safe: such a one will go in and out and will find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it to the full. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep. The hired man, since he is not the shepherd and the sheep do not belong to him, abandons the sheep as soon as he sees a wolf coming, and runs away, and then the wolf attacks and scatters the sheep; he runs away because he is only a hired man and has no concern for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for my sheep. And there are other sheep I have that are not of this fold, and I must lead these too. They too will listen to my voice, and there will be only one flock, one shepherd” (Joh 10:7-16)

And he said to them, ‘Go out to the whole world; proclaim the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned” (Mar 16:15-16)

 

C) Comment:

In the video-message proposed every month, Bergoglio strengthens and increasingly makes explicit the contents of his new religion. In the month of February, Bergoglio aims not so much for the conversion of hearts to have faith in Christ, freeing the hearts from every sin; but to the indifferentist, general and populist conversion that frees the hearts from the slavery of consumerism.

Bergoglio speaks as a true politician that does not care about the soul of believers, that only in Christ find the Way of Salvation, but that has his own personal consent at heart. Bergoglio addresses issues, obvious and banal arguments, like a true world-populist leader, that manifests a doctrine that is a ridiculous human philosophy.

Christ did not die on the Cross to save the environment or to promote recycling. Christ sacrificed Himself for the salvation of the soul of His children so that, once converted, they could live in a true spirit of brotherhood and respect, first towards the Creator, God the Father Almighty; then towards their neighbour; consequently towards the animal beings, the vegetable beings and the whole environment that should accommodate and contain everything and everyone.

These are the correct terms of the issue. It cannot start from the end omitting and neglecting the One who gave birth to all things that only in Christ, the unique Saviour, brings the Plan of Salvation to fulfilment.

The real slavery of man is not consumerism but sin.

Humankind must free itself from the slavery of sin by welcoming Christ and being converted to Christ to become holy in Christ, with Christ and for Christ. The real conversion of the world must be to Christ, acknowledging Christ as THE SALVATION, the only Way to Salvation. The Project of Salvation of God the Father is based on the respect to believe and accept Christ and His Life.

Only a profound conversion, implemented with sincerity of heart to Christ the Lord, can obtain the liberation of humankind from every form of slavery that the enemy of God has caused, subjugating their hearts, in the times. After the first and fundamental Will of the Father is respected, that is to believe in Christ, all the rest can be respected.

This is the central point of the question. It is in respecting the Creator and His Plan of Salvation first that one respects the Creation.

Highlighting the need to respect the environment, the economy and progress before the respect of Christ, means reducing the true religion to a ridiculous human philosophy, that is no longer based on Christ but on a political thought that has the sole purpose of collecting the consent of everyone.

Christians need a true guide that leads to Christ, not of a new (old) politician that leads them away from the true religion to group them in a ridiculous and banal human philosophy.
