Roman Catholics Speak Out On Climate Change... Again.

Roman Catholic leaders are sounding the climate alarm again—but are their claims grounded in reality? In this episode of Created to Reign, Dr. E. Calvin Beisner takes a hard look at the latest warnings, from Laudato Sí to the Claretian Missionaries’ “Glad You Asked” podcast, and tests them against the actual data on natural disasters, global temperatures, and the world’s energy use.

The episode breaks down why dire predictions of worsening hurricanes, droughts, floods, and fires don’t match long-term observational records, and why trillions spent on renewables have barely budged global dependence on fossil fuels. It also challenges the notion that rejecting climate catastrophism means rejecting care for creation, and revisits the Cornwall Alliance’s Open Letter to Pope Francis as a call for clearer thinking and better stewardship.

A compelling, evidence-driven challenge to the dominant narrative—inviting listeners to rethink what faithful creation care really requires.
