Pope Francis warned Thursday that planet earth would not forgive the abuse of its resources for profit, urging the world's leaders to rein in their greed and help the hungry -- or risk a doomsday scenario in which nature would exact revenge.
"God always forgives, but the earth does not," the Argentine pope told the Second International Conference on Nutrition (CIN2) in Rome, a three-day meeting aimed at tackling malnutrition, a global scourge which afflicts poor and rich alike.
"Take care of the earth so it does not respond with destruction," he warned representatives from 190 countries gathered for the conference organised by the UN food agency (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) in the Italian capital.

What in the Sam Hill does THAT mean?
"The Earth" must give us forgiveness? This man is a follower of Jesus Christ as much as Obama is a "Constitutional Law Professor."
"Feed the hungry, save life on the planet," Francis said at the end of his speech which was met with a standing ovation
I am sorry to you Catholic Freepers out there who are still enthralled with this guy, but he is a false teacher, and in fact, may be a candidate for THE False Prophet mentioned in the Book of Revelation.
This, from a liberal Pope, liberalism that is nothing but stealing by government force from one to buy the votes of another.
Is the pope communist?
The love of Gaia is strong in this man.
BTW, where did the Catholic Church get all their dough?
Saint Greenpeace. What a dope.
“Here-He-Goes-Again” ping.
I agree (as a Catholic).
IF anyone knows this Pope’s history, they know he is a proponent of Liberation Theology and part of the left wing.
Same a Rev. Wright and “Father” Flager
Well, we have our RINOs in the Republican Party. I do believe that the Church now has a CINO (Catholic in Name Only) as its head who is doing things such as demoting/removing cardinals who may disagree with the direction he is taking the Church.
That’s IMHO, but feel free to flame away.
The good old saying , The Pope is a Dope ,comes true
Probably mistranslated, yet again.
I can actually imagine a guy like this working with ol Barry. Socialist to socialist.
LOL!!!!
WTF???
This is the weirdest pope in my lifetime.
Not knocking Catholics at all. Just this odd little man.
He sounds more like an ignorant collectivist.
Tomorrow the Vatican will release a statement that there was a translation error and instead of “the earth doesn’t forgive” he actually said “I am really catholic, honest.”
Lighten up, Francis.
“God always forgives, but the Global Warmists do not forgive those who tell the truth or those who value Science over politics”
“God blessed the humans by saying to them, ‘Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it! Be masters over the fish in the ocean, the birds that fly, and every living thing that crawls on the earth!’”
Didn’t he just sponsor a corporate event or something?
Man’s greed? Guess it takes one to know one. Wonder what JESUS would say about the wealth of the Catholic Church?
