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.

Papal warming.
The Communist Pope speaks! Worthless!
Mr Pope, what is the reason for Pedo’s????
Uh, glaciers require a land mass underneath. The Artic ice sheat is all sea ice. There are by definition no glaciers up there.
IOW, he's a moron as well as a liar.
I’ve read that the air in Wuhan and other similar cities has become breathable again. So yeah, that’s cool.
But instead of human induced climate change, whatever that is, I wish he would have focused on the other pandemic induced changes that more directly correspond to our relationship with God.
We have many idols we prefer instead of God, such as work, sports, etc. Not good at all.
So now, this viral panic-demic we’re dealing with is our timeout to refocus our priorities just in time for Lent.
It is as though He took many of our idols away from us and now we can’t have them for a while.
But, hey, human induced global climate change is one idol the Pope says we’re gonna keep!
Yay for us.
Italian bachelors?
What you’d expect from our commie Pope.
Later on he was talking about the area that would become the British Isles. He talked about how it was a lovely climate because "it was three degrees warmer then".
O-kay.
The ‘Looney Tune’ Pope.. It’s all about climate change, yaknow.
bucking for a Nobel for science.
I feel so sorry for Catholics having to carry the shame of a fool for a Pope...
I doubt he believes in the Bible... more like he believes in communism.
Worst Pope Ever!!!!
The press is every bit as bad as this Pope. Of course, the press does have some love for this socialist Pope.

I think they make him say what they want him to say, by bad translations or outright lying in their ‘stories’ ...

this clown needs to stfu and die.*
Wow. You sound like a real fun person to know. Very Christian of you. </s>
Whatever
I am not Catholic, but it sure seems that this Pope could be considered an apostate. He seems to promote all kinds of un-Christian beliefs and practices. In this case, he seems to be buying into the belief in nature as a sentient entity.
