Francis and the Earth Charter's Love Affair
"Pope" Francis and the Earth Charter's Love Affair
Most knowing observers of the New Age Movement have kept a careful watch on the Earth Charter. That it amounts to Earth worship is apparent, at least to my eye. I'm doing a slow and careful read of Pope Francis' LAUDATO SI encyclical. Something compelling there caught my eye. Was I seeing things nobody else was seeing? Nope! There it was, bold as a cobra, lurking in the pages of Pope Francis' pronouncements on environmental issues.
207. The Earth Charter asked us to leave behind a period of self-destruction and make a new start, but we have not as yet developed a universal awareness needed to achieve this. Here, I would echo that courageous challenge: “As never before in history, common destiny beckons us to seek a new beginning… Let ours be a time remembered for the awakening of a new reverence for life, the firm resolve to achieve sustainability, the quickening of the struggle for justice and peace, and the joyful celebration of life”.It is no surprise that the Earth Charter proponents are thrilled about Pope Francis' input:
For the global Earth Charter network this document is paramount, as Pope Francis makes an explicit reference to the Earth Charter reference in paragraph 207 of Chapter Six on Ecological Education and Spirituality:It is no surprise that the Earth Charter proponents are thrilled about Pope Francis' input. They have issued their Voices of the Earth Charter responding to Laudato Si.

Another thing I could not help but notice is the Ken Wilber cultish terminology of "Integral" -- a most favorite New Age buzzword for a most prolific New Age writer: Ken Wilber. Ken Wilber is the author of just about "Integrative" everything - medicine, spirituality, etc.
Well, it is obvious to me that Pope Francis has made most of the New Age community VERY HAPPY. I'm not!
