Catholic Church Head Gives An Opinion On Bitcoin Mining
Pope Francis, the head of the Catholic church has given his opinion on the use of carbon footprint technological development. His opinion follows widespread reactions to Elon Musk’s tweet about the use of fossil fuel in bitcoin mining. While the clergy head never referenced bitcoin directly in his tweet, he condemned the use of fossil fuels in the environment as a cause of heavy pollution. He suggested that researchers and tech firms need to develop new technologies that won’t use fossil fuels as soon as possible. The tweet was part of the Pope’s press release on current issues during the recently concluded Laudato Si’ Week.

In a related development, Salesian Fr. Joshtrom Kureethadam has suggested that all Catholic institutions globally should desist from investing in fossil fuels as a moral and theological duty. It would also be a show of support to the Pope’s groundbreaking encyclical on fossil fuels. According to Fr. Joshtrom, “the climate crisis is causing a lot of suffering to our brethren all over the world and it isn’t right for us to cause them more sufferings.” he further said, “it is a theological imperative as part of our stewardship to god as part of his creation.” fr. Joshtrom made these remarks when delivering a Vatican dicastery webinar on ‘fossil fuel divestment’ which was part of the celebration for the Laudato Si’ Week.

Pope Francis Goes Green with Fisker’s All-Electric Popemobile
As part of the efforts in divesting away from fossil fuels completely, Fisker has revealed his plan for a new all-electric vehicle for the Catholic Pope. This Popemobile is the first of its kind from the company known for creating advanced mobility options, including sustainable electric vehicles. A Popemobile is a term for a custom-made vehicle that the Pope uses for his outdoor appearances.
During a visit to the Vatican City on Thursday, Henrik Fisker and Dr. Geeta Gupta-Fisker, founders of the auto company presented their vision of a next-gen Popemobile to the Pope amidst a small audience. The all-electric vehicle will not give any exhaust or emissions to those who want to receive the Pope’s blessings no matter their proximity to him.
The car will also have an all-glass cupola for the Pope’s visibility and accessibility to offer his blessings. Named as the Fisker ocean, the car will go into production and be delivered to the Pope latest by late next year. In his words, Henrik Fisker said, “I got inspired reading that Pope Francis is considering the impact of climate change on the environment for the upcoming generations. This new mobile transport for the Pope will contain various sustainable materials.”
