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.
Its actually worse than that. My money says he was told to comply or the world would begin taxing Catholic churches and the Vatican would be seized and redistributed after many priests were tried for pedophillia.
So he sold out on threats. And considering his Liberation theology, it was a firesale. And stays in a luxurious lifestyle.
This is planned.
The pope is becoming an agent of the Gaia worshipers. He is preaching a return to the “old gods” and will cause millions of humans to die as civilization is rolled back and poverty and disease spread.
“Expunge the plague of Capitalism”
Actually, those are the moderates.
It’s human beings that the real environmentalists are after.
Interesting post!
There are plenty of undeveloped areas in the world where greens could go off and build their doomed utopias, but their hidden motive is actually to destroy rather than build. The greens are green alright: with envy. Envy is an unfortunate side effect of vanity, and vanity often develops as a protective response to the pain of being surrounded for long periods by competitors with more.
Leftism is strongly correlated with population density throughout the world and history. As population density increases, so does the demand for tyrannical big government, which points to causation and not just correlation. Humans living in unnaturally close quarters develop unnaturally high levels of vanity and envy.
In America the tipping point between an area being majority leftist Democrat vs rightist Republican is a population density of 700 people per square mile. Papa Francisco grew up in Buenos Aires which has a shockingly high population density of 37,000. Most people from Buenos Aires are big gov loving socialists, if not full blown communists.
The Devil is the god of this world. Worshipping anything but the One True God is evil.
Good to know.
