Our Lady Of La Salette On The Laudato Si' Church & The Liturgical Work Ahead

“Evil books will be abundant on earth and the spirits of darkness will spread everywhere a universal slackening of all that concerns the service of God. They will have great power over Nature: there will be churches built to serve these spirits. People will be transported from one place to another by these evil spirits, even priests, for they will not have been guided by the good spirit of the Gospel which is a spirit of humility, charity and zeal for the glory of God. Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)
Did you see this coming?

Did you see a creation of a new Church and a new Liturgy, created to worship nature, or better yet, created to serve evil spirits?

No you didn't see this coming.
 
Essay by Fr. James Hug
Laudato Si' and the liturgical work ahead
How will this new liturgy come about?

Fr. Hug says:
The Catholic church lacks liturgical resources for nurturing the ecological transformation that Francis is calling for and that the human family so desperately needs.
So a new Church it is.
Some liturgical theologians in different Christian denominations are beginning to call for new materials, develop them and urge their quick approval for broad use. Catherine Vincie, a liturgical and sacramental theologian at the Aquinas Institute of Theology in St. Louis, is one notable and welcome voice in the Catholic community. But we cannot afford a glacial approval process if we hope to develop a healthy, broad-based ecological spirituality in time to reverse current destructive approaches to nature and prevent devastating global suffering.
The creation of mini-churches outside the Catholic Church.
Until these materials can be developed and made widely available, the challenge given by Pope Francis to nurture this spirituality must be taken up by liturgical planners and celebrants locally. That can happen if they bring to their liturgical preparations a deliberately broad consciousness of the global ecological context of life and liturgy as Francis describes it. The weekly liturgical texts must be consciously read as addressing the social and ecological context of our lives in the midst of the whole human family and at the heart of the complex and interrelated systems of Earth, our common home.

But the start of this new church will begin within the Catholic Church using the existing liturgy and morphing into something demonic. These folks will most likely get kicked out by the new mass crowd and many of the churches that these folks occupy may be given over to them by the diocese.

Some strange events will accompany these new nature liturgies, enough to make the news.
