Understanding Laudato Si EP01: "Models of Creation"

In this first episode of "Understanding Laudato Si," Fr. Daniel P. Horan, OFM introduces viewers to the three models or approaches to creation that have arisen over the course of Christian history. These different ways of interpreting sacred scripture and theology will help set the context for how we can approach and understand Pope Francis's teaching in his encyclical letter.
(Note: We had technical difficulties with the audio in this episode, so it's not in stereo. This was resolved in the upcoming episodes, and shouldn't be a problem again)

THANK you Brother for taking us back to the roots of creation. Often human's forgetting to take care ,,,,and usage and treating of the animals. 👏

[@margaretpadilla7219]

Thank you Dan!

[@MoralScienceEducation]

Thank you Father Daniel. Further to what you shared on the topic of co-creation and respect for the earth, In our Laudato Si plan we included two additional strategies, "ethical leadership", capable of consensual implementation of the Laudato Si plan, and "our response to the cry of the voiceless, the animal kingdom". We will ensure to share our plans in the global portal with all, to continue to co-create to deliver on God's divine plan🙏

I remember studying Thomas Berry a few years back, pre-Laudato Si and thinking to myself, how great it is that there are theologians and cosmologists out there that currently seek to move from living as a collection of objects to a communion of subjects and I was inspired. I am currently studying Laudato Si and I seem to be going over old ground but I am absolutely riveted. I cannot believe that his encyclical is as inspirational and as powerful as it is. It is fabulous as a piece of work. My aim is to integrate it through my teaching. I work in a primary school as a teacher. I am lucky to be the environmental programme co-ordinator and whilst I apologise for this rambling and very unthought-out comment with many made up words, I want to thank you for the wonderful piece you have presented. I look forward to seeing the rest. God Bless.

Christ said it is better for you to tie a millstone around your neck and cast it in the river than to lead one of these little ones astray. You are leading these children to worship the earth and bow down to the pacha mama.

Thank you for these episodes im starting permaculture and i really see its connection to God's design, and strategy i am willing to co-create with the Lord, i acknowledge my micro contribution can help a community far but within the common home. Im thankful that the discipline starts with observation, because indeed we can see the Lords blueprint in us and even in nature. We are here to tame it as stewards to prevent it from destroying itself.

[@jacksparrow1057]

You are not co creating anything with the Lord. You are contributing nothing but pain and suffering to those around you. We are not here to tame the earth and prevent it from destroying itself. You are doing the work of Satan. Christ said nothing about save the earth. The man in this video is a child of darkness and so is Francis.

[@Why_are_you_up_there]

Thank you.

[@sejenic]

This was actually very well done. Concretized and simple put, without any loss of the meaning or message. As a religion teacher, I need to talk a little bit about pope Francis in an Introduction to christianity class, and I think this actually is a good place to start. Understanding why Jorge Bergoglio took the name of Francis says a lot about him. Looking forward to the other videos. Thanks Fr. Horan, and peace be with you.

Laudato Si is a fantastic Encyclical that will launch a wonderful revolution in our understanding of the love of God for humans and their part in the family of creation.

[@jacksparrow1057]

I hope your right ear beat the stupidity out of your left ear. This is devil talk. No where did Christ tell us to save mother Gaia. Francis is an Earth worshiping pagan. The man in this video is a minion of Francis. Both are children of darkness. Both hate God.

Why do I find in Laudato si' a statement that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is warming planet Earth'?

[@asil8750]

peace be upon you! you seem to be a good person and I really need to tell you something. I'm a muslim and I really respect other religions and I do love christianity and I love Jesus. But really im tired of christians' comments and messages. They keep insulting me being a muslim and insulting my religion and accuses me to be a bad person. There are more than 1.5 billion peaceful muslim in the world but they look only at the radical minority which we muslims hate them more than any christian does. They tell me christianity about love and about loving your neighbors and even your enemies. even I dont see myself an enemy but they dont love me. I know there are some bad people who claim to be muslims who make horrible things in the world but why christians generalize and accuse all muslims to be bad people.everywhere you find good and bad people. I'm not a bad person and I really love our cultural diffirences I have an understanding kind christian friend but the others still discriminate against me even without knowing me and I'm really tired of what they say! please say something to christians to stop hurting peaceful muslims by their words! I hope to get a response! Thank you!

"The primary mission of Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of mankind, was not to take care of the material wellbeing of the planet, but to save immortal souls for eternal life in heaven" - Bishop Athanasius Schneider

[@greglindstrom2733]

The Baptism of John was a ceremony of repentance! Born Again.. Peter expressed his Spiritual condition when our Savior asked, "who do they say that I am? What is He asking? What's happening here? Peter gave the most passionate answer! Peter answered and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. 30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. In this moment all of the scriptural support for the Papacy, succession and authority come from what the Savior said to Peter. Matthew 16:15-17 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Without adding additional meaning I need to point out that Peter expressed what it is to be Born Again! . Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. (I believe He means see the Kingdom in the present!) A spiritual reality not seen by the world. Born again a spiritual condition equipping the saints. John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Born of water is natural birth! and of the Spirit is Spiritual birth! Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Some think baptism is born again but it's never tied to the baptism event in Scripture. 11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Do you see it now..

I recommend you read your bibles better (and read the encyclical). He will confirm the covenant with many for one week.

[@michaeldiaz754]

Just read the Bible itself. The papacy is not Jesus on earth. We lost dominion to Satan once man sinned. The Catholic Church is try for people to wander after the beast. Sunday law is what they pushing for.

[@Torncoppa]

Whilst this is an informative exposé, I do not hold to the Catholic teachings as being authoritative. The popes perspective is just that! The insight I have on Dominion passages is one that by default recognises respect for creation; one of good stewardship. No Catholic edict taught me this. Commercialism empowered this disposable, wasteful attitude of the consumer held. We don't have to be Green nor a Catholic to have a healthy respect of Yahawah El Elyons creation. We do not need to worship Gaia. But in typical Catholic tradition, this narration will supplant the worlds current attitudes. We don't need to be forced to worship its edicts. Educating the commercial sector is required and without the climate change rhetoric, lies and subterfuge we have been subjected to over the COVERT 19 con. We dont need Kyoto Protocol taxes being forced on end users.
