Pope: God will
judge whether you
cared for Earth
By NICOLE WINFIELD
Associated Press
VATICAN CITY — Pope
Francis warned the rich and
powerful on Tuesday that
God will judge them on
whether they fed the poor
and cared for the Earth, his
latest exhortation on the
environment ahead of his
eagerly-awaited encyclical
on climate change and its
effects on the world’s most
vulnerable.
Francis delivered the
warning during a Mass for
the Vatican’s Caritas Interna-
tionalis charity.
In his homily, Francis
said the planet has enough
food to feed the world but “it
seems that there is a lack of
willingness to share it with
everyone.”
“We must do what we can
so that everyone has some-
thing to eat. But we must
also remind the powerful of
the Earth that God will call
them to judgment one day,”
he said. “And there it will be
revealed if they really tried
to provide for him in every
person, and if they did what
they could to preserve the
environment so that it could
produce this food.”
No papal document in
recent times has produced
as much anticipation or
anxiety as Francis’ encyc-
lical, which is expected next
month. Environmentalists
are thrilled that Francis is
lending his moral authority
to provide an ethical foun-
dation for action to stem
climate change. Conser-
vatives, including many
Christians, have criticized
Francis for wading into the
politically charged climate
debate.
On Tuesday, one of
Francis’
key
advisers,
Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez
Maradiaga, said he was
stunned by the complaints
he had heard during a trip
to the United States over a
papal document that hasn’t
even been published yet.
He accused those fueling it
of an ideology “that is very
strongly linked to a vision of
capitalism that doesn’t want
to renounce damaging the
environment for the sake of
SUR¿WV´
Francis has said global
warming
is
“mostly”
man-made and that humanity
has a moral duty to stop it.

Catholic youths plan pilgrimage
to Poland for World Youth Day
Trip will visit
hometown of
Pope John Paul II
Youths from St. Mary’s
and St. Andrews Catholic
churches are raising money
for a trip of a lifetime.
The group is looking
forward to a pilgrimage to
World Youth Day 2016 in
Kraków, Poland. Held every
three years in different
locations across the globe,
the event was established in
1985 by Pope John Paul II
as a way to encourage and
support younger genera-
tions in the church.
“It’s a way to see youth
from around the world
who are also embracing
their faith,” said Jacquie
Hitzman, a youth minister
who will help chaperone
the trip. “It’s encouraging to
see that there are Catholics
everywhere.”
Currently, Hitzman said
there are four boys and four
girls from the Pendleton
area that are planning to
attend World Youth Day.
However, she said, others
can still sign up.
Fundraising for the trip is
for the youths that are going,
Hitzman said — including a
yard sale this weekend.
Held in the parking lot at
St. Mary’s Catholic Church,
the sale is Saturday from 8
a.m. to 3 p.m. at 800 S.E.
Court Ave., Pendleton.
There is a huge variety of
items available, including
yard care items, area rugs,
antique
dolls,
