Remember When Popes Were Focused On Saving Souls Than On Blessing Ice Blocks?

There can be little if any doubt that demon-riddled globalists own a monopoly in the full use of diversion when pushing their wicked narrative to the forefront. And now it seems that global warming advocate Pope Leo XIV could be one of them.

Pictures of the pontiff 'blessing' a block of ice at Tuesday’s Vatican Climate event are going viral over the Internet.

The ‘Raising Hope for Climate Justice’ International Conference at Castel Gandolfo, included pictures of the Cardinals shaking blue fabric to imitate water with former California Governor, everyday celebrity Arnold Schwarzenegger part of the Vatican’s pagan worship.

Pope Leo’s predecessor Pope Francis had his Pachamama, now the current pontificate, his Block of ‘Blessed’ Ice.

Thankfully, both pontiffs left their teddybears at home.

Now for the use of diversion in this troubling event:

"Pope Leo XIV did not rebuke Cardinal Blase Cupich for honoring pro-abortion Senator Dick Durbin with a lifetime achievement award, and said that those who support the death penalty are “not really pro-life.” (Life Site News, Oct. 1, 2025)

“On September 30, a journalist from EWTN asked Leo what he thinks about Illinois Sen. Durbin being set to receive an award from Cupich despite his support for aborthttps://canadafreepress.com/ma...ion.

“Leo gave a long-winded answer that appeared to imply he did not have a problem with Durbin receiving the award.(Life Site News)

“I think that it is very important to look at the overall work that a senator has done during … 40 years of service in the United States Senate,” he stated. “I understand the difficulty and the tensions but I think, as I myself have spoken to in the past, it is important to look at many issues that are related to what is the teaching of the Church.”

Durbin for all of his 40 years in political life advocated, promoted and voted for the slaughter of innocent babies in the womb.

“Someone who says I’m against abortion but says I’m in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life,” the Pope said. “Someone who says I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life.” (Life Site News)

“So, they are very complex issues, I don’t know if anyone has all the truth on them, but I would ask first and foremost that there would be greater respect for one another and that we search together both as humans beings, in that case as American citizens or citizens of the state of Illinois, as well as Catholics to say we really need to look closely at all these ethical issues and to find the way forward as Church.”

“The Church teaching on each one of these issues is very clear,” he added.

“Leo’s answer caused controversy among Catholics and other Christians online, as the Pope seemed to draw moral equivalence between the murder of millions of innocent unborn children each year with the execution of convicted criminals and the deportation of illegal migrants.

LifeSiteNews CEO John-Henry Westen wrote on X:

Memo to @Pontifex: Cardinal Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI) wrote in his 2004 memo on Communion and pro-abortion politicians: “Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia.… There may be a legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not however with regard to abortion and euthanasia.”

“With his Tuesday evening statement, Pope Leo appeared to affirm Pope Francis’ erroneous teaching that the death penalty is intrinsically wrong, in opposition to perennial Church teaching and Tradition.

“Catholic philosophy professor Edward Feser, who co-authored a book defending the traditional Catholic teaching on the liceity of the death penalty, wrote that the Pope’s remarks are “manifestly false.”

“To cite just a few names among many, sainted doctors of the Church such as Thomas Aquinas, Alphonsus Liguori, and John Henry Newman were against abortion and for the death penalty, as were sainted popes such as Innocent I, Pius V, and Pius X. I imagine Leo would not dare to suggest these great heroes of the Catholic faith were ‘not really pro-life,’” Feser stated.

“On the same day Leo defended Sen. Durbin receiving the lifetime award from Cupich, the pro-abortion politician announced that he will decline the award from the Archdiocese of Chicago after facing a strong backlash, including criticisms from several U.S. bishops."

Leo’s swipe at President Donald Trump’s global warming policies wasn’t missed by the Daily Mail who reported: “Woke American Pope Leo blesses a block of ice in bizarre climate change stunt after swiping at Trump's global warming policies.” (Daily Mail, Oct. 1. 2025)

“The American pontiff slammed skeptics who 'ridicule those who speak of global warming,' as he strongly embraced Pope Francis' environmental legacy and made it his own in some of his strongest and most extensive comments to date.”

“He said he hoped the upcoming U.N. climate conference 'will listen to the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor.’

'We cannot love God, whom we cannot see, while despising his creatures. Nor can we call ourselves disciples of Jesus Christ without participating in his outlook on creation and his care for all that is fragile and wounded,' he said, presiding on a stage that featured a huge hunk of a melting glacier from Greenland and tropical ferns.

It is not Jesus who is a political global warming advocate, but Leo.

"The first American born Pope, Prevost emerged victorious in the Conclave as he was reportedly seen as 'the least American of the Americans' in the Church's leadership, and as a silent reformer who would carry on much of the work of Pope Francis." (Daily Mail)

As St. Peter’s representative on Earth, the duty of Pope Leo and all pontiffs, is saving souls—and not the environment.

Courtesy of Pope Leo, commenters on multiple stories blame Catholics and not the Vatican for the upheaval in the Catholic Church.

MI-TAC Actual posted: “Catholics—that’s the leader of your religion.”

Wrong! Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the leader of our religion. For all of his flim flam, Leo’s only temporarily minding the store.
