Told ye he was a communist.
Up next...”Jesus was merely a metaphor”.
Bank on it.
No... he was just mistranslated again!
The Pope is joining the religion of environmentalism. This believes that the natural world is god. It is an age-old religion. The gods and goddesses of the earth, of nature, were the old rulers of the ancient world. It is Primitivism and Utopianism that are the heart of modern Liberalism, and most certainly are the roots of the Green movement. The Greens want to return the Earth to a mythical pristine paradise, to expunge the “plague” of Capitalism and bring back the forgotten Eden which we have despoiled.
Primitivism is outside the Christian tradition of rationalism, the heritage of Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas, William of Occam, Copernicus, Isaac Newton, Francis Bacon, etc., and of the older Jewish tradition of scholarship and philosophy, as well as many of the Greek philosophers such as Aristotle. That is why see anthropocentric global warming primitivist making up the science to justify their beliefs. It reject the intellect in favor of emotionalism and historical reality in favor of myth.
Utopianism is the myth or memory of a distant past when humankind lived in a primitive and simple state, but at the same time one of perfect happiness and fulfillment. This perfect state is where man reaches his godhead where nature responds to his needs. It is a desire to return to those days when there was an instinctive harmony between humanity and nature. The eco-utopians want to return to that utopian harmony where nature provides in abundance and man lives as the original hunter gatherer he was designed to be.
There is a vain mythology that man as the godhead can control nature. It differs from the delegated authority of stewardship that God intended man to have.
Or worse.
To push this after the known exposure of fraud is bowing to the devil.
Or worse.
