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.

>>>This Pope has been wrong on just about everything<<<
The Pope has become the Joementia Biden of Religion.
To All -
I just find it odd (or maybe not) that the Pope is more concerned about Global Warming/Mother Nature than
Christians around the world could not congregate in their own churches praying for the Good Friday and celebrating Easter.
re: “Pope Says Pandemic Is ‘Certainly Nature’s Response’ to Global Warming”
I think, once again, the ‘press’ builds a bridge too far given what the Pope REALLY said ...
Given language translations back and forth, and the ‘given’ (known) agenda of and by the press.
Hey, Pope. We also have expressions in English.
Sorry, given his past elocutions and inclinations,
the days of giving him the benefit of the doubt (for me) is
OVER.
re: “Sorry, given his past elocutions and inclinations,”
So, you’re falling for it again. This happened once before, ya know.
The PRESS is not to be trusted ...
So the virus got too warm in their comfy bio lab and a well intending employee let it out to cool off a bit, but it failed to return. Ok pontiff, sounds reasonable.
“Who is Nature?”
A false idol.
Can we get a pinch hitter up to the plate? Now batting for Pope Francis, Pope Benedict.
The pope is mentally retarded.
Somebody please, somebody check his meds!
So the 1918 flu was nature’s response to global warming?
We need to return to real science & ignore the ignorant.
Dear Pope,
STOP drinking all the communal wine.
Either this Pope is a complete idiot or is so thoroughly corrupt that he is willing to destroy the Church from within to appease whatever ideology he actually adheres to.
“Does he ever point to specific scripture to back up anything he says?”
I guess he doesn’t see the need, considering he’s “infallible.”
born and raised catholic.
12 years catholic school - in the 50’s and 60’s.
this clown needs to stfu and die.
Ditto here; 60s and 70s for me.
And spot on... he needs to STFU and die.
I’m curious.. if this “pope” goes room temp, does Benedict XVI re-take the position?
