ROME — Pope Francis said he believes the Chinese coronavirus pandemic is “certainly nature’s response” to humanity’s failure to address the “partial catastrophes” wrought by human-induced climate change.
Asked by British journalist Austen Ivereigh whether the COVID-19 crisis is an opportunity for an “ecological conversion,” the pontiff reasserted his belief that humanity has provoked nature by not responding adequately to the climate crisis.
“There is an expression in Spanish: ‘God always forgives, we forgive sometimes, but nature never forgives,’” Francis said in the interview published Wednesday. “We did not respond to the partial catastrophes. 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 it is nature’s revenge, but it is certainly nature’s response,” he added.
“Every crisis contains both danger and opportunity: the opportunity to move out from the danger,” he said. “Today I believe we have to slow down our rate of production and consumption and to learn to understand and contemplate the natural world.”
Late last month the pope expressed this same belief to a Spanish journalist, insisting that the coronavirus pandemic is nature’s cry for humans to take better care of creation.
Asked whether the COVID-19 pandemic is nature’s way of taking “revenge” on humanity, the pontiff suggested that nature is calling for attention.
“Fires, earthquakes … nature is throwing a tantrum so that we will take care of her,” he said.
Last December as well, the pope said that natural disasters such as a massive storm that struck northern Italy in the fall of 2018 are nature’s way of sounding an alarm to make us more environmentally engaged.

False pope is false.
He’s such a tool.
His record is intact...he talks about anything except Jesus...
He was installed by Soros in a very nefarious way.
I’m curious what practicing Catholics think of this guy.
Can a pope be a nitwit? Is it OK to call the pope a nitwit? Enquiring minds want to know.
I dont know who or why the media portrays this guy like they do but I am convinced that he is an idiot as well as the ones that reports on what he “says”.
A heretic and an idiot.
Oh shut up.
Sick of these EnviroMental Religionists.
Nailed it!!
My 4 year old granddaughter makes more sense than the Pope.
He's a nitwit....
Since I did not believe any of the RCC non biblical teachings about this nit wit....I don't care...
Pope Looney Tune.
Pope is a Dope!
Nitwit? How about mentally retarded?
Not acceptance of deviant sex and marriage or giving GOD the Boot? I guess I’d make a better Pope even if I am Jewish:-)
Well, the pope was encouraging worship of Saint Mother Earth...
...I’m curious what practicing Catholics think of this guy.
I have a very close friend (i am Godfather to his son) who is a cradle Catholic, viciously anti-Trump, and loves this Pope
I pray for him, and I pray for the one who is called pope, to turn their eyes upon Jesus, love His Word, and surrender to Christ, open himself to The Holy Spirit.
The ImPopester is a fraud.
