Francis’ Folly: The Coronavirus is Earth Throwing a Tantrum
Francis’ Folly – the Coronavirus is Earth Throwing a Tantrum, PDF
The former Marxist president of the US has tried to do it. Others
have tried to do it. And now Francis I, the pope of Rome has tried the
same trick: to connect the coronavirus with the myth of “climate
change”. It suits the one-worlders to connect the two and treat them as
one – a double whammy of supposed irrefutable evidence that poor old
“Mother Earth” is in Big Trouble if we don’t all get behind the doomsday
prophets and surrender our freedoms and our money to – well, to them.
Of course.
When asked by a journalist whether the COVID-19 “crisis” was an
opportunity for an “ecological conversion”, Francis re-asserted his
belief that mankind has provoked nature by not responding adequately to
the “climate crisis”. “We did not respond to the partial catastrophes,”
he said. “Who now speaks of the fires in Australia, or remembers that a
year and a half ago a boat could cross the North Pole because the
glaciers had all melted? Who speaks now of the floods? I don’t know if
[the coronavirus is] nature’s revenge, but it is certainly nature’s
response.”
[1]
The only correct thing Francis said in the paragraph above was, “I
don’t know.” He has no clue. The virus is neither nature’s revenge nor
even just a response to the “climate change” myth. A few little points
need to be made. Number One, the fires in Australia were not caused by
“climate change”. Number Two, the North Pole glaciers have not all
melted. Number Three, floods happen all the time, all over the world,
every single year. And Number Four: the coronavirus isn’t “nature’s
response” to human inaction over so-called “climate change”, unless you
believe the WHO – and WHO in his right would? It originated in a
Chinese bioweapons facility. The virus that was
created there
had no idea what was going on in the world outside its warm little test
tube. It doesn’t have a brain. It doesn’t think or plan. It didn’t
just burst out in a frustrated rage as if it was aware of what people
were supposedly doing to “Mother Earth”. Again, it doesn’t have a
brain. It didn’t say to itself, “Those stupid human beings are not
listening to poor Mother Earth’s cry of distress so I’m going to bust
out of my nice, warm lab where people fuss over me and give me a lot of
attention, and teach those earth-destroyers a lesson!” Did I mention
that
it doesn’t have a brain?
More to the point, although we know Francis has a brain, it seems
the only time he uses it is to conjure up new ways to strengthen his
power over the world. He went on: “Today I believe we have to slow down
our rate of production and consumption and to learn to understand and
contemplate the natural world.” Amazing – he learned all this from a
fugitive virus? A virus escapes from (or is let out of) a Chinese lab
and somehow manages to get a message to the pope of Rome: “Tell the
world to slow down its rate of production and consumption! Learn to
understand and contemplate the natural world! Or else!” I guess this
virus is a whole lot smarter than we gave it credit for. It knows
things. It has real
power. It’s on a mission to turn silly
earthlings from their destructive course. It has turned the Roman pope
into its prophet – its voice through whom it addresses the masses. And
even though there’s absolutely no connection between this fugitive virus
and the lie of “climate change”, Francis decides to pass on the message
anyway. Never let a good crisis (real or fake) go to waste – that’s
the maxim he lives by.
Just in case the reader thinks I’m reading too much into Francis’
folly, this was not the first time he had spoken along these lines. Not
by a long shot.
In December 2019 he said that natural disasters are nature’s way of
sounding an alarm to us. “They are alarm signals that creation sends
us, which summon us to immediately take effective decisions to safeguard
our common home.” Note the deity-like attributes ascribed to “Nature”.
And in his now-famous encyclical on the environment, he wrote that
the earth “now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on
her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has
endowed her. We have come to see ourselves as her lords and masters,
entitled to plunder her at will.”
Her? Francis speaks of the
earth as a living goddess. He sounds just like every nature-worshipping
pantheist worldwide. Indeed, he wrote in his encyclical, “Let us also
learn to listen to indigenous peoples, whose age-old wisdom can teach us
how to live in a better relationship with the environment.” He went on
to state that loss of biodiversity and economic inequality “have caused
Sister Earth… to cry out, pleading that we take another course.”
Another pearl of (literally) worldly wisdom from the Papal
Antichrist: “Let us make an effort to change and to adopt more simple
and respectful lifestyles!”
This from the man who sits at the head of the wealthiest
religio-political institution on the face of the earth. A man whose
every need is immediately catered for by any number of other servile
human beings, and who, despite his reputation for being a simple man is
anything but that, for he still makes use of the many delicious perks of
his position, jets around the world in luxury, with his cardinals being
called “the princes of the Church”, ultra-wealthy, luxury-loving,
effeminate creatures who have never known a day’s want in their lives.
In late March, speaking to another journalist, he insisted the
coronavirus was “nature’s cry” for humans to take better care of
creation. Again, note how he constantly personalises nature. He is
really something of a pantheist pope – he sees a deity (at least in some
fuzzy way) in what he has called “Sister Mother Earth”, echoing not
only the earth-worshipping Papist “saint”, Francis, of yore, but also
earth-worshipping pagans around the world, for whom he cherishes a very
special place in his Green and Red heart. For him the earth is a living
being, and thus essentially a goddess of some sort, to be reverenced
and served lest she rise up in anger against us. Professing himself to
be wise, he has become a fool, changed the truth of God into a lie, and
worships and serves the creature [creation] rather than the Creator
(Rom. 1:22-25).
When the journalist asked him whether the virus was nature’s way of
taking “revenge” on humanity, Francis replied: “Fires, earthquakes…
nature is throwing a tantrum so that we will take care of her.”
[2] Say what? “Sister Mother Earth”
throws tantrums? What
kind of petulant goddess is she? And while we’re at it, if the earth
really is our mother and a deity in her own right, why can’t she take
care of herself? Why does she have to throw tantrums like a naughty
child until we coddle her?
But then again, this earth-worship comes from a man who heads up a
religion which teaches that a priest has the power to turn a piece of
bread into God. So anything goes.
And then came Earth Day 2020.
Never mind that Earth Day is an absolute farce. Never mind that it
is nothing but the Reds, fobbing themselves off as Greens, seeking even
greater world control. Never mind that Ira Einhorn, the self-described
co-founder of Earth Day, not only beat and murdered his ex-girlfriend
but also composted her body, stuffed it into a trunk that had been
packed with Styrofoam, air fresheners and newspapers, and kept the
partially mummified body in a closet in his home.
[3]
Never mind all these things. The pantheist pope, along with so many
other deluded leaders across the earth, promotes Earth Day and spouts
pagan environmentalist nonsense as if it was part of the Gospel.
This year he outdid himself, calling for the protection of the
world’s environment and – again – tying the perceived lack thereof to
the coronavirus outbreak. Let’s break down some of the key points in
his speech for Earth Day:
“In today’s celebration of Earth Day we are called to renew our
sense of sacred respect for the earth, for it is not just our home but
also God’s home,” he said.
[4]
God’s home? Really? Where did he read
that in
the Bible? He didn’t, because he doesn’t believe the Bible. But this
is what it really says: “Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples
made with hands; as saith the prophet, Heaven is my throne, and earth is
my footstool” (Acts 7:48,49; see also Isa. 66:1). Ever hear of anyone
living in a footstool? Francis’ god is very evidently not the sovereign
and true God of the Bible.
But we knew that already.
And by using the word “sacred”, Francis attached a religious
dimension to the respect he claimed we should all give to the earth.
This is because he
deifies the earth. This was further
confirmed by his next words – that renewing our “sacred respect” for the
earth “should make us all the more aware that we stand on holy
ground!” When Moses went to look at the burning bush, God said to him,
“Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the
place whereon thou standest is holy ground” (Exod. 3:5). It was not the
whole earth, but only that place, and only for that time, that was
declared holy ground. If the whole earth is holy ground as Francis
claims, then we should all be walking barefooted, everywhere, all the
time. Francis himself should take off his own shoes and set the example
for the rest of us. But will he?
No, we didn’t think so.
He said the virus had shown that some challenges need to be met with a
global response. “We see these natural tragedies, which are the
earth’s response to our maltreatment,” he said. “I think that if I ask
the Lord now what he thinks about this, I don’t think he would say it is
a very good thing. It is we who have ruined the work of God.” “We
have sinned against the earth, against our neighbour and, in the end,
against the Creator.”
[5]
Wait a minute: we’ve
sinned against the earth? David,
even when he committed adultery with Bathsheba, said in prayer to God,
“Against thee, thee only, have I sinned” (Psa. 51:4); firstly because
his sin against God was far greater, comparatively, than against another
human being; and secondly because, even when sin is committed against
another human being, it is first and foremost committed against God, for
it is defined as “the transgression of [God’s] law” (1 Jn. 3:4), and is
thus a transgression against the Lawgiver Himself. When we sin, we sin
against God first and foremost, and against our fellow-men very often
as well; but nowhere do we read in the Bible of sinning against the
earth. This is Francis’ fantasy, for the Papal Antichrist
deifies “Mother Earth”. But we cannot sin against the earth, because it isn’t alive. It’s not a moral being.
But again: if the earth really is a goddess, she sure is weak and
powerless, isn’t she? By his own admission mankind has failed to care
for the earth – but isn’t it supposed to be the other way round? If the
earth is a goddess,
she should be caring for
mankind, not
mankind for her! This is absolutely no different, in essence, from the
idols of the heathen, which cannot speak, see, hear, smell, do anything
– and yet men worship them (Psa. 115:2-8).
And yet this “Mother Earth”, this supposed terrestrial goddess,
which is so powerless to supposedly prevent its own destruction, will,
Francis assured us all, respond in a “very ugly” manner towards all us
wicked little earth-destroyers! He said: “The earth does not forgive:
if we have spoiled the earth, its response will be very ugly”.
[6]
So let’s get this straight: the great earth-goddess can’t protect
herself from puny men treating her badly, but she can somehow wreak
vengeance on them for doing so? One would think it was really very
obvious that if she can’t do the one, she can’t do the other. And
surely being such an unforgiving monster, she doesn’t deserve our
worship anyway?
But of course, the earth is not a goddess, it is not a living
being, and it can do nothing. The Lord alone is God, and He alone is to
be worshipped. As for the earth: “In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth” (Gen. 1:1); “the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof” (1 Cor. 10:26).
Oh, and one last thing: “the earth also and the works that are
therein shall be burned up” (2 Pet. 3:10). A dismal end for a goddess,
one would think.
