From Melanie Phillips:
The observations by Pope Francis on the coronavirus pandemic published in The Tablet are startling. They reveal with unusual sharpness just what kind of person currently heads the Catholic church.
Asked whether the economic devastation wrought by the virus was a chance for an ecological conversion by reassessing priorities and lifestyles, the Pope replied:
“There is an expression in Spanish: ‘God always forgives, we forgive sometimes, but nature never forgives.’ We did not respond to the partial catastrophes. Who now speaks of the fires in Australia, or remembers that 18 months ago a boat could cross the North Pole because the glaciers had all melted? Who speaks now of the floods? I don’t know if these are the revenge of nature, but they are certainly nature’s responses.”
Last month, the Pope was even more specific about this in remarks published by a Spanish newspaper. Asked whether the pandemic was nature’s way of taking “revenge” on humanity, he replied: “There is a saying, that you know it. God always forgives. We forgive from time to time. Nature never forgives. Fires, earthquakes … nature is kicking us to take care of nature”.
Bad enough that, as we know, the Pope subscribes to the anti-human, anti-science anthropogenic global warming scam which is based on dodgy computer modelling, ideological bullying and financially manipulated intellectual corruption.
Worse, his remarks on the virus don’t just fly in the face of robust scientific evidence but are simply bonkers.

I don’t know about pagan. But the Pope’s idea that the coronavirus is nature’s revenge is not far from the medieval type of superstition, that plague and pestilence were always God’s punishment for man’s sins.
