Fast like a Christian and ignore the Wolves in Shepherds' clothing! Lent LatinMass Fasting

OfReligious Bishop, an excellent suggestion and thank you for it. Recycling, composting, careful use of water, suitable clothing vs ac, anything related to sustainability in general. We have just had the hottest summer on record and the drought is still really bad. BLESS Your creativity.

Many 'Catholic' bishops are no longer Catholic or even Christian. Let us Fast as our Fathers in the Faith and not like the Modernists who seek to destroy every vestige of the Ancient Christian Faith and Discipline!

What heating! It's getting unaffordable

Nice that the bbc are pandering to the 00.0^1% of society! How about talking about secularism and non belief? Don’t need a belief to be good

Why does the BBC still give airtime to the religiously-deluded?

Think I'll just give up the Bishop of Salford for Lent instead. Not much of a sacrifice, though. Better add fasting also.

I can only use it 2 hours a day that gives me a bill of £60 / month

🤔

You should not be in the clergy,useless fool.

Think energy prices have already made people do that.

The weather system is massive uncontrollable and chaotic . This is virtue signalling, perhaps his grace could give that up for Lent.

Green as in 'Green Man' ? Good idea!

Bishop's also tell young boys to fellate them and Bishop's also rape nuns...so...maybe Bishop's should not be giving advice...

Catholic Church leaders should abandon traditional Lent sacrifices in favour of lifestyle changes to tackle child molestation.

Animal_Watch Wears robes of shame!

giving one's carbon footprint for lent

Animal_Watch i may not be religious, but i have respect for someone who will encourage their followers to do something like this! it doesn't just help you, it helps everyone!

I gave up religion for lent. Enjoyed that much I've kept going for nearly 25 years. Can't beat a bit of athiesm. The reality based religion. 😉

It’s March. The central heating is off!

They can't change traditions, although they will try as the wind changes...leave religion alone you pimps.

Sure thing but only if you catholic priests stop playing with little boys

cathmckenna OMG... what's wrong with you people!!!!

Sounds like demons have enter the Bishop Salford.

How about both? Give up eating meat for 40 days.

Why not just stick to Christianity.

Idea: change the name to LEND and have the church offer no interest loans to the poor and middle class every spring. That way at least the church won't be a useless, child abusing parasite.

Agenda for synod 2020. 1) Hands up any who know of child abuse. 2) Go now and tell police, Return with case number. 3) We will follow up.

How about boycotting everything sold by or connected to the giant corporations which do the vast majority of polluting? How about supporting your local, small craftspeople, farmers, and businesses?

Man made GlobalWarming IS A SCAM!

Priests should sort out child abuse. Just lipservice now!!

Stop going to church.

Good idea.

''Turn central heating down for Lent, says Bishop of Salford''.................what an idiot! Why do these people open their stupid mouths on things they know sod all about. Drumming up business for the undertaker is he!

We CAN mitigate/adapt in face of ClimateChange anthropogenic CO2 ✅ We CANNOT do so re: biologically intolerable anthropogenic EMF's ⚡📡📲 ACTNOW for EnvironmentalJustice SalfordBishop catholicEW 🙏

What,like driving,electricity. Breathing. ?

Surely we can all just pray to a lord god to save the planet he made (in 6 days) ... or is this gods secret second genocide plan (after the flood) to rid the world of naughty mankind....

😂😂😂 What a fucking loaf

I've given up religion , does that count ?

I'm giving up church for lent.

Lifestyle changes would b good but done as a result of HEART changes & nothing to do w climate..smh

Great idea.

climate change is a disproportiate term whilst our planet's toffs get used to this fact, it is to be commended that religious sobriety takes on the facts

The Bishop of Salford wants churchgoers to abandon traditional Lent sacrifices in favour of supporting his political belief

Dear revrund. If I turn my heating down a notch or two, will you get the clergy to tackle child abuse?

Just ask God to shift some CO2 if you’re that bothered.

Does anyone actually give anything up?
