The Vatican gave a shout-out to California Gov. Jerry Brown Sunday, praising him for his war against climate change and his defense of human “dignity and freedom.”
In a Tweet from Casina Pio IV, the headquarters of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the Vatican called Brown a “true leader” while singling out the Democratic governor’s concern for “the good of the planet threatened by human activity that uses fossil fuel.”
More questionably, the message lauded Gov. Brown—a darling of Planned Parenthood and zealous advocate for abortion on demand—as a “leader who seeks the good of the people defending the dignity and freedom of each person.” The Tweet (pictured below) ends with a triple emoticon of human hands clasped in prayer.
The Vatican has twice offered Governor Brown a platform to preach his ideas, inviting him on two separate occasions to address an assembly of clerics and lay people on issues related to global warming.
In open opposition to the Catholic Church’s defense of unborn children, Brown has been a passionate supporter of abortion-on-demand and has called himself “an uncompromising champion of a woman’s right to choose.” He also supports federal funding of Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers, leading Planned Parenthood to refer to him as “the REAL pro-choice candidate for governor.”
The abortion rate in California is well over twice that of the national average.
The Pontifical Academy for Science is run by Argentinian Bishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, who came under fire in May of 2016 for offering a Vatican platform to other known advocates of abortion and population control, like Jeffrey Sachs and UN General Secretary Ban Ki-moon, as well as population hoaxer Paul Ehrlich.
When questioned about the decision to enlist speakers so divergent from Catholic teaching, Sánchez shifted the blame to the Tea Party and the oil industry, and suggested he was not responsible because “I am only the Chancellor.”

Would Jesus recognize any of the prelates in the Vatican? Global warming?
Who is in charge in Rome?
Is any further evidence needed on how out of whack the Vatican is with real Church teaching? The environment is more important than killing babies!
These so called prelates are wolves in the clothing of sheep
The Vatican praises Governor Brown, a “true leader” in killing unborn babies.
The Pope’s gotta be kidding, Moonbeam as a “leader.?” What next, ND as a “Catholic” school because they gave top honors to our nation’s top abortionist… Come on Pope Francis, just because Moonbeam is a Jesuit wanna-be, don’t honor him. The people of California sure don’t.
Jerry Brown is a Jesuit trained fraud. He is a poster child for secular causes and will use any depraved cause to further his own selfish ambition. As a Catholic, he is a disgrace to my faith. For the Vatican to hold him up as a catholic example, does not help me represent my faith.
In terms of global warming the underlying science hasn’t demonstrated that man has cause climate change. It is a vehicle to be used to take our rights away by oppressive liberal governments like the one Jerry Brown heads up. It saddens me to see the Vatican represent a moral relativism that has no place in the church. I will pray for a more robust faith!
Is the fact that Jerry Brown is Jesuit educated that the Vatican praises him? Global Warming is pushed
because it is a way to control the population. How can the Pope praise someone who is 110% for abortion?
We only pray that Pope Francis will resign and that we will have a true Pope like Benedict….maybe Cardinal Burke.
Pray for the conversion and enlightenment of whoever tweeted that. As a Californian, I’m acutely aware of the disaster Jerry Brown in public office has been for life, marriage, family and education. And, how does the Vatican have anonymous tweets? Who is responsible for that Twitter account?
Can’t we have some honest, open “discussion?”
You can see my name here because I, by the grace of God, stand with Christ and His Church. And, I’m willing to be corrected, if I’m wrong. Lord, have mercy on us all!
“…the Vatican called the California governor a “true leader”
A true leader of Satan, for sure. California is a state where one can ‘marry’ a person of the same sex, legally end one’s own life, do drugs, and worst of all, kill the unborn. For this, Jerry Brown receives praise from the Vatican?!!! Who are these imposters that inhabit the Vatican? They are not Catholic, that much is certain.
The prophesy of Our Lady of La Salette is upon us in our time.
Our Lord said: ‘You will know them by their fruits’. Others say ‘Birds of a feather stick together’. I believe the sedevacntists are correct. How else can continuously occurring hypocrisy like this be explained? Time for all to wake up and smell the coffee. Time to restore Holy Mother the Church by returning to Roman Catholic tradition.
That is the logical fallacy that sedevacantists fall for. They see problems and think this wouldn’t happen if there was a real Pope. They don’t know Church history enough to know there were problems from the beginning. Was Peter an illegitimate Pope? Read Acts.
A V2 sequel to honoring the excommunicated Martin Luther!
No head nor heart-aches for me. The V2 Church left me years ago. No alla byes to make up. No hypocrisy to defend, as I am a Roman Catholic adhering to traditional Sacraments, Rituals, and Ways for the rest of my life!
Schism is a mortal sin.
