Patron Saint of 'Mother Earth'? TIME Mag Praises Lefty Pontiff As ‘The Climate Pope’
NewsBusters ^ | 4/21/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 04/21/2025 10:34:16 AM PDT by JV3MRC

Apparently the recently deceased Pope Francis is the patron saint of "Mother Earth." At least that’s what the climate Armageddon-obsessed TIME magazine is trying to argue.

TIME senior correspondent and eco-doom prophet Justin Worland’s papal obit read like a cheap comic strip: “The Climate Pope: Francis and His Environmental Legacy,” Worland’s headline read, celebrating the leftist pope for his radical eco crusaderism. According to Worland’s twisted worldview, the first big “environmental move” the pope did upon ascending to the papacy was simply “choosing the papal name Francis after Saint Francis of Assi, known among other things for his appreciation of the natural world which he called a ‘mirror of God.’”

Um, you’d be hard-pressed to convince the Catholic faithful writ large that St. Francis of Assisi was somehow a raving climate activist nut like their "Person of the Year" Greta Thunberg. But in Worland’s perspective, as he bleated in 2021, “climate is everything."

This is also the same Worland who screeched like a cat with its tail stepped on nearly five years ago that 2020 was “our one last chance” to save the planet. So it’s not a surprise he’s exploiting the death of a pope to embellish his ridiculous climate change bona fides. “In his 12 year papacy, Pope Francis would go on to become a key figure in the global climate movement,” Worland plastered onto his latest climate babble.

I like nature/outdoor shows. I can’t watch a single one lately without some climate change BS thrown in my face. I’m sick of their lies.

IMHO, the most likely scenario was that Bendedict XVI was pushed out in coup, likely conducted by the Obama regime.

He was replaced by the marxist frontman Bergoglio

I have to agree. This climate change business seems to center a lot around CO2 being a problem. We knew better than that by high school days.

Me too.
My girls grown and fast forward past the guilt trip every time we watch a nature show.
We just want to see nature that we will never seen in person.
Drop the leftist garbage.

Finally he can return to Gaia. You know Gaia? It's that swanky neighborhood in Hell.
