VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis made an impassioned plea for protection of the environment on Wednesday's 50th anniversary of the first Earth Day, saying the coronavirus pandemic had shown that some challenges had to be met with a global response.
Francis praised the environmental movement, saying it was necessary for young people to "take to the streets to teach us what is obvious, that is, that there will be no future for us if we destroy the environment that sustains us".
The pope, who wrote a major encyclical in 2015 on the defence of nature and the dangers of climate change, dedicated his general audience - broadcast from his library because of the coronavirus lockdown - to the theme.
Recounting a Spanish proverb that God always forgives, man sometimes forgives but nature never forgives, Francis said: "If we have deteriorated the Earth, the response will be very ugly."

As long as God does I’m not worried about nature.

Perhaps the Pope will install a high priestess as a tribute to Gaia.

He should throw down his mitre and sacrifice himself to Gaia, his one true god.

Will God forgive the pope for setting up the goddess Pachamama above him?

My church removed the phrase regarding trespass from The Lord’s Prayer. I guess they want money from the illegals. (Stopped attending services there.)
Remember when gluttony was a sin?
This commie pope needs to go. Sorry Catholics, y’all have a really screwed up leader.

Cleaned up pretty good in a mere six weeks or so. So, pope a dope, how “ruined” did we make it? Back to the alter for you.

The guy is an atheistic, leftist jerk. My wife is RC, and she also thinks that the guy is a Marxist fraud.
