American Pope Leo blesses a block of ice in bizarre climate change stunt

Pope Leo XIV recently conducted a bizarre blessing of a block of ice to highlight the urgency of addressing climate change. He criticized climate change deniers and said, "We will raise hope by demanding that leaders act with courage, not delay." His comments coincided with the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis' ecological encyclical, which emphasizes caring for the planet.

During the event, Leo urged environmental activists to pressure governments for stronger climate policies. He expressed hope that the upcoming U.N. climate conference would heed calls for action. He also discussed the ethics surrounding abortion and immigration, advocating for respect in such debates.
