A Ridiculous Foray into Eco-Fantasy: The Vatican's "Borgo Laudato Si" A New Climate Cult Centre
Why is the pope pushing climate cult dogma and not focusing on Christianity!?

In a move that reeks of virtue-signaling and misplaced priorities, the Vatican has announced the opening of a so-called “ecological training centre” in Castel Gandolfo, Italy. Dubbed “Borgo Laudato Si” after the late Pope Francis’s 2015 encyclical that swallowed the climate alarmist playbook whole, this 55-hectare playground is being touted as a beacon for world leaders to tackle “global climate change.” Directed by Rev. Manuel Dorantes, a U.S. priest with apparently more enthusiasm for greenwashing than gospel, the centre features gardens, vocational training, and even a greenhouse shaped like St. Peter’s colonnade, because nothing says “environmental stewardship” like mimicking Vatican architecture in a veggie patch. Visitors can learn organic farming, buy Vatican-grown wine, olive oil, and cheese from 60 on-site cows, all while patting themselves on the back for saving the planet. Pope Leo, the first American pontiff, is set to inaugurate this farce on Friday, building on his July approval of a special Mass rite urging Catholics to “care for the Earth.” If this sounds like a boutique farm masquerading as a moral imperative, that’s because it is.
Let’s cut through the sanctimonious smog: this initiative is utterly ridiculous, a prime example of the Catholic Church wandering far from its spiritual lane into the murky swamp of climate cult dogma. The Vatican, the “smallest city-state in the world,” as Dorantes humbly brags, positioning itself as an environmental exemplar? With its paltry 55 hectares, about 55% of its total landholdings, this is less a global model and more a glorified hobby farm. If the pope thinks turning papal vacation grounds into a tourist trap selling artisanal cheese will inspire nations to overhaul their economies, he’s spent to much time with the climate cult. Dorantes asks, “If we… can do this, what is the potential for other states that are bigger than us?” The answer: zero, because this isn’t innovation; it’s indulgence. Bigger states should be busy powering civilisations with reliable energy, not play-acting at sustainability on Renaissance estates.


The real absurdity lies in the Church’s entanglement with the anti-CO2 hysteria peddled by organisations and activists who treat carbon dioxide like the devil incarnate. CO2 isn’t a pollutant, it’s plant food, the very essence of life on Earth. Without it, those Vatican vineyards wouldn’t produce a single grape, and the planet’s greenery would wither. Science, the real kind, not the cherry-picked consensus Francis embraced in 2015, shows that rising CO2 levels have greened the Earth, boosting crop yields and combating hunger. Yet here we have the Pope endorsing a centre that implicitly demonises this vital gas, urging reductions in emissions as if exhaling were a sin. This isn’t Christianity; it’s eco-paganism, where “caring for creation” morphs into worshiping lies over truth.
Pope Leo, with his American roots, should know better than to import this cultish mindset into the faith.
The Vatican should stick to what it knows: preaching the Gospel, saving souls, and addressing actual moral crises like poverty, war, and spiritual decay. Getting cozy with climate zealots, who often push agendas laced with population control, economic sabotage, and anti-human policies, dilutes the Church’s message and exposes it to ridicule. These organisations have no grasp of the truth about CO2: it’s not a threat; it’s a blessing that fuels photosynthesis and sustains the biosphere. By diving into this pseudoscience, the Pope risks alienating believers who see through the dogma and prefer their faith unadulterated by political fads.
In the end, “Borgo Laudato Si” is a costly distraction, a feel-good gimmick that sells organic trinkets while ignoring the divine mandate to focus on eternal truths. Pope Leo, return to Christianity’s core, leave the climate crusades to the ideologues. The world doesn’t need another eco-tourist spot; it needs spiritual guidance untarnished by green myths.
