Woke ‘Via Crucis’ Canonizes Greta Thunberg

Italian bishops label climate alarmist, LGBT activist 'missionary martyrs'

ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) - Italian bishops are canonizing a climate alarmist, a bisexual activist, a lesbian journalist, an open-borders agitator and Muslim campaigners in a woke "Way of the Cross" for Lent and Holy Week.

Via Crucis, published by the Italian Episcopal Conference for use in Italy's dioceses and parishes in 2022, glorifies Swedish climate alarmist Greta Thunberg among the ranks of "missionary women and men who were martyred."

Thunberg is exalted at the 10th Station (Jesus is stripped of His clothes) by the publication as a 19-year-old "protagonist of change" who "became famous for her strike against climate change."

Changing the Meaning of the Stations

The inclusion of individuals like Thunberg is "intended to underline the link between young people and the Church" and help the faithful to "rethink" their idea of Church, the Via Crucis booklet explains.

The CEI's Stations of the Cross also glorifies Marielle Franco, a Brazilian lesbian, feminist, communist and LGBT+ activist, among the "missionary women and men who were martyred."

The First Station calls on the faithful to meditate on the assassination and achievements of the Brazilian agitator. The commentary also claims that the "irresponsibility" of Brazil's leaders led to the deaths of 600,000 people during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This political critique is directed primarily at Brazil's populist president, Jair Bolsonaro, who refused to capitulate to pandemic hysteria and did not mandate masks, vaccines or lockdowns.

In keeping with History shouldn’t she be burned at the stake first?

Don’t you have to be dead first?

A desecration of Holy Week by false shepherds.

Burning her at the stake would definitely enlarge her carbon footprint.

I dunno.

Integrate her CO2 emissions over time under at least two scenarios and see which one is more.

Decomposition gives off CO2. Burning fair quantities of wood also let some CO2 out, but the wood’s natural decomposition could release the same amount over a much longer time.

I’m guessing that a short life produces less personal CO2.

Maybe some greenies can figure this out.

The cover of the booklet says that it is the work of Sara Lioi, Maristella Tommaso and Father Alessio Geraci, members of the Missio Giovani National Council. It was not written by the bishops, but they are blameworthy for not publicly repudiating the booklet published in their name.

Interesting thought. If burning and decomposition emissions are equal (albeit over different time frames), then, her living a longer life would tip the carbon balance through her respiration and her endless insipid remarks.

Yet I keep hearing about how this is the “one, true, church.”

The total amount of carbon never changes, regardless. Even if we burn down the entire Amazon rain forest with diesel powered flame throwers, the total amount of carbon doesn’t change.

I don’t think the word “martyr” means what they think it means.
