As has become the custom from before Pope Bergoglio, no pope can travel anywhere without getting back on the aeroplane and having a presser, though this one has made a real "art" of it. Gosh, it makes one long for simpler days, you know, before popes decided that the world couldn't stand it if they weren't glad-handing and creating a whole damn economy around their star power or when news of the pope's death took a decade to reach the local parish.
It's amazing how suddenly, when the southern United States has been hit with a hurricane or two, some have gone batty thinking this has never ever happened before. Oh, but of course, it's global warming, I mean, climate change.
"If we don't turn back, we will go down, you can see the effects of climate change and scientists have clearly said what path we have to follow. If someone is doubtful that this is true, they should ask scientists. They are very clear. These are not opinions made on the fly. They are very clear. Then each person can decide and history will judge the decisions,"
So says Bergoglio. What a bunch of lying bunk. What stupid drivel, and I am expected to believe that this Peronist, this politician, this NGO hack is the Vicar of Christ? Believe scientists? Junk science! So, is it now a sin in the Church of Bergoglio to refuse to bow to this fallacy? There are fossils of palms in Greenland and northern Alberta, what the heck does that tell us?
Climate changes, and then changes back and then to something else again.
Irma is the first Hurricane to hit Florida since Wilma, and that was in 2005. The worst in the last few decades were Andrew in 1992 and Charlie in 1994 and not even they compared to the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 and were generally equal to the pre-named storm of 1919, Great Miami in 1925 and Okeechobee in 1928. In Texas, the most hurricanes and cyclones took place in the decade of the 1940's followed by the 1880's. In the seventeen years since 2000, the total is still less by one, compared to those of the 1880's. In 1900, 8000 souls perished in Galveston, Harvey has claimed 70, and may they rest in peace.
Yet, we are to believe that these hurricanes in Texas and Florida are a result of climate change. Well, it must be true because the Bergoglio of Rome said so.
Listen, Pope Bergoglio is entitled to his own opinions just like anyone else, but the one thing that this man is not entitled to, are his own facts; and his opinions mean nothing, nothing, nothing!
It's amazing how the world will listen to every word this bleating from this Pope Bergoglio's mouths off with when it comes to "climate change" but won't hear it when he speaks on those rare occasions of abortion and gender dysphoria. Well, one can understand that since he appoints abortionists to Vatican commissions and goes out of his way to be photographed with "transvestites." The media are as confused about Bergoglio as he is himself.
And speaking of "pro-life," he also says that Trump cannot be, if he gets in the way of DACA. Don't even get me started on that one.
Such poppycock, coming from a man whose carbon footprint in the last four years has exceeded this writer's entire carbon lifetime.
Just once, I would like a presser with Bergoglio to go like this:
Media: Holy Father, there is so much strife in the world, so much suffering, what do you have to say about this?
Pope Francis: I would say that the world has lost its bearing because it not focused on the reality of the God-man, Jesus Christ. When the first Pope, St. Peter, walked on water to meet the Lord he started to sink. He took his eyes off of Jesus and he sank. It is only when we have our eyes and our hearts and our minds focused on this Jesus, this Christ, this true Saviour of the World, that we do not sink, do not "go down." The world is groaning for a lack of Christ, but it is because the world has rejected Him. Jesus Christ is God come to earth in the flesh, born at Bethlehem of a woman named Mary, a virgin. This is real, this is true. He came for his own who rejected Him, and he came for all, you and me. He came for Jew and Gentile. He came for those who call themselves Moslem, and Hindu and Buddhist. He came for those who believe in Him but follow their own way apart from his One, True Church and those who do not believe in Him or the One who sent Him. He came for all, but many reject Him. Come to Him. Come to Jesus, let him free you from your sins and the world from its suffering, because, there is no other Way, no other Truth and no other Light. There is no salvation apart from Jesus Christ and the Church which he founded for the salvation of the world.
That is what this Pope should say. That is what any Catholic should say.
