In Catholic circles, "Secular Saint" could mean a saint who wasn't a priest or in religious order (e.g. nun, monk).

After seeing the cover for Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” award, who can still pretend the Left is irreligious? It is clear Time has officially sainted Thunberg. After all, the magazine proclaims, “By clarifying an abstract danger with piercing outrage, Thunberg became the most compelling voice on the most important issue facing the planet.”
Thunberg -- for now at least -- has become the secular equivalent of Joan of Arc, whose portraits and statues are depicted with a similar expression denoting transcendent holiness.
One suspects that in a very short time, St. Greta will invite St. Joan's fate. No, she won't suffer a literal execution, but she will be "executed" nonetheless; and by the same crowd that currently is elevating her to sainthood. For now, she is proving to be very useful in promoting the religion of climate change. She would not be the first nor would she be the last of saints who have been exploited and then deserted in favor of another.

She should go to China and India and preach her religion.
That’s a long walk.
And not just exploitation and psychological abuse.
Her parents and enablers let her starve in some anorexic mental illness to the point she permanently damaged her heart and looks 12 when she is 16.
Greta is defective. As a defective human, nothing she says can be taken at face value
Her incurable defect is the Asperger syndrome developmental disorder. Time has selected a defective girl as Person Of The Year
From the above (and Time article):
Thunberg is 16 but looks 12. She usually wears her light brown hair pulled into two braids, parted in the middle. She has Asperger’s syndrome, which means she doesn’t operate on the same emotional register as many of the people she meets. She dislikes crowds; ignores small talk; and speaks in direct, uncomplicated sentences. She cannot be flattered or distracted. She is not impressed by other people’s celebrity, nor does she seem to have interest in her own growing fame. But these very qualities have helped make her a global sensation. Where others smile to cut the tension, Thunberg is withering. Where others speak the language of hope, Thunberg repeats the unassailable science: Oceans will rise. Cities will flood. Millions of people will suffer.
“I want you to panic,” she told the annual convention of CEOs and world leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in January. “I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. And then I want you to act.”
She’s been lied to so much, she probably really does feel that fear.
“OKAY DOOMER”. I’m stealing that!
Well, not from me. Someone else had it swiped by me and others. But use as you need.
And Saint Barack Obama buys a $11.5 million mansion on Martha's Vineyard. But we don't talk about inconvenient facts....
Bet’cha within 3 years, she’ll be on the cover again but this time it will be for some terrible crime she’s done.
Exactly right about not seeing TIME anywhere the past several years. It isn’t the low number of subscriptions keeping it afloat but someone, along the lines of Soros, who’s privately funding it.
Most likely she will be raped or murdered by a mooslem.
There is a question of whether or not Asperger’s is caused by harm to the prenatal brain due to drugs taken by the mother.
Sharing that one :)
I pity Greta. She has mental disorders (her sister’s are worse) and her lefty parents have nurtured her into what she is. It’s parental child abuse, imo.
That girl can become rich, and probably will. TV appearances, book deals, speeches. She doesn’t ever have to spend a cent of her own money, ever.
And when she’s no longer useful to the left, they will drop her and I’ll be laughing.
I scrolled past that pic so fast I thought it read
“Greta Thunberg Gives Passionate Speech to the Sun”
Far fetched? Nnnnnot so much.
The cause is not relevant
Greta is still defective
Love it! I’m old enough to remember global cooling and how a new Ice Age was upon us. I think that was the obsession in the 70s. And then there was the population bomb “we’re all gonna starve” leftie hysteria...these people just love to be hysterical.
Not likely.
I know several Moms with Asperger kids who didn’t take drugs when pregnant. I’d like to see you tell them it’s because they took drugs that caused it.
