Pope Says to ‘Trust Science,’ Calls Vaccines a Sign of Hope
Crux ^ | 9/8/21 | Elise Ann Allen

ROME – As blowback mounts to increasingly strict international vaccine requirements, Pope Francis in the preface for a new book by an Italian journalist called the vaccines a sign of hope amid a global nightmare and urged people to trust what science has to say.

“We must find hope and trust in science today too: thanks to the vaccine, we are slowly returning to see the light again, we are emerging from this ugly nightmare,” the pope writes.

The preface is part of a new book titled, “Beyond the Storm” by Italian journalist Fabio Marchese Ragona of Mediaset, and which is based on an interview that the pontiff gave to the outlet in January. The book itself will not hit the shelves until next spring, but the preface was released to Italian media in advance.

Throughout the year, as infection rates have fluctuated, vaccine requirements have steadily increased throughout Europe and much of the world, with many countries requiring a “Green Pass” proving vaccination for basic indoor activities.

As of Aug. 6, Italy passed a law mandating the Green Pass or a negative COVID-19 test for a range of activities including indoor dining, going to the gym, or to a movie or a museum, including the Vatican Museums, or to attend indoor concerts, among other things.

Shortly after, the Italian government mandated COVID-19 vaccinations for all students, teachers, and professors, from grammar schools to universities, as a safety measure and to avoid school shutdowns if a COVID test came back positive.

So where’s the science he’s trusting on his “promo the homo” stuff?

The Impopester isn’t into deep thoughts. He, like Biden, just babbles.

He is the anti-Pope.

He _owns_ all the side effects from the Vaxxes now.

Which science? Media expert science or the regular old science based on evidence?

“Trust the science?”

I’m old enough to remember when Popes used to say “trust in God.”

“We must find hope and trust in science today too: thanks to the vaccine, we are slowly returning to see the light again, we are emerging from this ugly nightmare,” the pope writes.

This poseur should not be masquerading as the head of any Christian denomination.
There is only one true LIGHT of the world - and that is our Lord Jesus Christ. We need to look at HIM, and put our hopes in HIM.

And what does that crap line even mean - "Trust in Science"?
We trust in the data, and we trust in the Scientific Method - where an hypothesis is proposed, an experiment designed and executed, and data collected. Refine the Hypothesis, and rinse and repeat as necessary.

"Trust in Science" just works out to 'don't worry your silly head about these things' - just go along with what your betters tell you to do...

Go pound sand.

It’s very sad that the papacy, under Bergoglio, has been reduced to the role of chaplaincy and mouthpiece of the international globalist left. He is the pope that they’ve been dreaming of for more than a century. St Maximilian Kolbe recalled Freemasonry’s 200th anniversary rally in Rome in 1917 at which he spotted banners reading, “Satan Must Reign in the Vatican. The Pope Will Be His Slave.”

We’re here.

He means trust people who call themselves scientists. I’d rather trust my own instincts

The Pope knows as much about science as he does church doctrine.

Trust science.... “just like we did with Galileo” NOT!

What they are saying is “trust OUR made up crap.. just because we say so”.

He is SUPPOSED to be saying to trust Jesus.
But he isn’t.

He is engaging in scientism, science as the new religion.

The root word of science is knowledge. The root word of Mystery is Knowledge Covered. The root word of Babylon is from the Tower of Babel which was the Tower of Knowledge. The bible predicts a worldwide religion in the end times, Mystery Babylon. The pope is helping to usher it in.
