The Pope Has Gone Full Greta Thunberg
At last, the Pope is being taken seriously when he warns of moral degeneracy – well, sort of
When Popes have tried to preach to us about abortion, promiscuity, materialism, drugs, and selfish lifestyles, they have widely been treated as old fools or bigoted moralists who want to stop us from having fun and being who we are.
But how miraculous the transformation among enlightened opinion now Pope Francis has issued an exhortation on ‘climate change’, warning us that ‘irresponsible’ Western lifestyles are ruining the planet.
The Pope has gone full Greta.
It is faintly odd to read him lecturing us on the rate of glacial melting and the absorption of carbon dioxide by the oceans. I am no great reader of Papal exhortations, but do popes generally go into such detailed scientific detail?
I guess he has sought advice on what to write, but at points, it goes horribly wrong. ‘Droughts and floods, the dried-up lakes, communities swept away by seaquakes and flooding ultimately have the same origin.’
Is Pope Francis really trying to blame the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami on global warming?
But it gets even worse when he starts addressing social policy.
Apparently, ‘in an attempt to simplify reality, there are those who would place responsibility on the poor since they have many children, and even attempt to resolve the problem by mutilating women in less developed countries.’
Apologies if I have missed it, but is there really anyone advocating female genital mutilation as a means of tackling ‘climate change’? Such a proposal certainly doesn’t seem to feature prominently in the publications of the UK government’s climate change committee.
He goes on lazily to assert that ‘what is happening is that millions of people are losing their jobs due to different effects of climate change: rising sea levels, droughts and other phenomena affecting the planet have left many people adrift.’
‘Conversely, the transition to renewable forms of energy, properly managed, as well as efforts to adapt to the damage caused by climate change, are capable of generating countless jobs in different sectors.’
It is the usual old guff about ‘green jobs’.
Try telling that, for example, to European steelworkers as they see their jobs draining away to China and India thanks partly to much cheaper coal-fired power there and the absence of ‘carbon’ levies.
At the same time, the Pope doesn’t seem to want all that much in the way of technological development – he is the ‘hair-shirt’ approach to ‘climate change’, with Western lifestyles to blame:
‘To suppose that all problems in the future will be able to be solved by new technical interventions is a form of homicidal pragmatism, like pushing a snowball downhill.’
He goes on to praise ‘the actions of groups negatively portrayed as “radicalized”’ – by which he presumably means the likes of Just Stop Oil.
‘Climate change’ has become a bandwagon onto which most world leaders, business people, and celebrities now feel compelled to clamber.
But in the Pope’s case, it is a bandwagon that seems to have a few worryingly loose nuts and bolts.

Satanist with 0 knowledge about what he’s talking about, and a very evil agenda. This is NOT a POPE.

I agree Cal with one modification.
Bergoglio is a globalist satanist. He worships at the altar of the Marxist version of God, Gaia.

Hi Lorraine,
Gaia is nothing more then a hypothesis.
All gods, and goddesses, are ultimately facets, or characteristics of the one true God. Just alternate names, or appearances. The Holy Spirit for example. The unknown form. Also termed the soul, and thus taken as a possession. It is usually shown as taking the form of a Dove, yet has also appeared as a tongue of fire. Does that mean there are now 3 of them? No, just different appearance and names based on circumstances.
All the main Female characters in the life of Jesus are truly the Holy Spirit. Jesus is that which becomes the mortal, reuniting what was torn apart into Adam and Eve. The mortal made immortal if you like. Completing the cycle.
Isis, who was also a virgin mother, along with Sophia, Mary Magdalene and more, are characters used to show the way something works in the form of a story, without spelling it out. Easier to understand the relationship.

Hey there Howdy,
Gaia is nothing more than a euphemism for the religion of climate change. That “religion” is the most absurd belief to spring from the mind of man.

Gaia, the Earth goddess, preceded ‘climate change’ by a long time Lorraine. Ancient Greece.
Like Baphomet, it’s true form has been taken to mean anything people think, fear, or want.
Chinese whispers and all that.

Jesus is the example. Jesus never rode around in a display cabinet being pumped by others falling at his feet. This alone tells one enough.
Despite the title, the pope is simply a man, with the same foibles, faults and eccentricities. While age is taken as a measure of wisdom, it is also an indicator of possible decline. ‘Climate’ is not in his purview.

When The Savior returns you will understand that doing what feels good was a sham put forth by the Ruler of the Air.

Are you religous? If so, they lied to you. Here’s a few snippets from the bible you may not be aware of:
The Pale horse, death and hades, are the spear of destiny and the crucifix. Death = equuleus/sagitta/vulpecula. Hades = lacerta and cygnus. They were Sethe in ancient Egypt and Bellerophon in ancient greece.
Jesus leads “the armies of heaven on their white horses” – commoners don’t ride white horses and it’s the elites who live in heaven. Jesus’s 2nd coming is where he slaughters the old worshippers making way for the new age. “When I first came, everyone wanted to kill me”. Yes, because he was slaughtering them.
Noah is also a traitor who makes a deal with the elite’s to take the valuables while the people are destroyed. He gets rewarded for his betrayal. He’s actually Atra Hasis.
Adam is the Sumerian Enki/Ea. He is the constellation Aquarius, “Man”, the dawn, twilight, 666, the “Beast” and Lucifer. That’s right, Adam is also Lucifer.
I could go on. In fact, I could write a book on the topic. It’s symbolism, and if you don’t know how to read it, then you don’t know how to interpret the world you live in. Sheep will think that statement is foolish, but insiders who read it likely tilted their head a bit.
There are 3 levels of maturity. Most never reach the 3rd. True maturity occurs when a person correctly interprets the world they live in, not when they pay taxes or avoid arrest.
The sheer pervasiveness of the symbolism dictates that you must know in order to interpret correctly. It is the veil, or matrix if you prefer. If you can’t see it, then you do not know that which forms your values and beliefs, and therefore cannot truly exercise free will.
“No Neo, you’ve already made the choice. You have to understand whyyy you made the choice.”
