Insanity at the Vatican: Will It Ever End?

Big papal smile for Greta; nothing but frowns
and scolds for "proselytizing" faithful.

....Not during this pontificate it seems.

One can only sigh and think of Job. "What did we do to deserve this, Lord?" And then remember our sins and recall that suffering can sanctify.  "Offer it up for the poor souls in Purgatory!" as my mom regularly advised us to do while my nine siblings and I were growing up. It remains good advice.

Suffering is good for the soul. Remember the spiritual work of mercy, to bear wrongs patiently...and, of course, to unite them to the cross of Christ.

But please, Pope Francis, -- praising Greta for being TIME's "person of the year?" And saying she is a "great witness" to Church teaching on the environment? This all sounds like an article from the Babylon Bee satire site!

Vatican calls Greta Thunberg ‘great witness’ of Church’s environmental teaching

A Letter to Greta from Friends of Science: THERE IS NO CLIMATE EMERGENCY!

It's not about a climate emergency; it's about money and power. CO2 is plant food! Did you know that greenhouses use machines to increase the CO2 level in their grow rooms to increase plant growth?

Fr. Tom Collins' brief comment on Greta Thunberg Gets Me Thinking...

The left crucified Nick Sandmann, but
Greta is untouchable. 

Fr. Collins sent a very short comment yesterday morning about Greta Thunberg and those using her
to advance the climate change meme:

It is interesting how so many, who vehemently assert that Greta Thunberg had no right to be born, are now asserting that her voice must be heard and taken seriously by those who condescended to allow her to be born. Having already been born, she now proclaims that other pre-born children must be denied the right to live before they can accelerate global warming by their presence on our planet.

On target as usual! Thank you, Father.

The Greta Thunberg phenomena is certainly puzzling. Here we have a young girl, who appears even younger than her 16 years, being paraded around as a climate expert.

Really?
