HEARTLAND'S PAPAL BULL


THOUGH ROME  WAS NOT SACKED IN A DAY, SEEING CFACT & HEARTLAND  RUN AMOK IN  THE VATICAN IS  MORE  FUN  THAN  THE  DIET  OF  WORMS : 

'You demean the office that you hold and you demean the church' 

                                                                        --   Viscount  Monckton  of  Brenchley



“The Holy Father is being misled by ‘experts’ at the United Nations who have proven unworthy of his trust,” Heartland Institute presbyter president John seph Knox  Bast said. 
“Humans are not causing a climate crisis on God’s Green Earth – in fact, they are fulfilling their Biblical duty to protect and use it for the benefit of humanity. 
Though Pope Francis’s heart is surely in the right place, he would do his flock and the world a disservice by putting his moral authority behind the United Nations’ unscientific agenda on the climate."
“People of all faiths have a moral calling to continually seek the truth," Bast said. 'That is why Heartland is sending a contingent of real scientists to Rome next week. We are bringing the Vatican a message of truth for all with open ears."

This seems to have struck a chord with the unfortunately named Maureen Mullarkey, who writes in  First Things  that:
"Francis sullies his office by using demagogic formulations  to bully the populace ... theologised propaganda,”

Could she have confused Heartland's fatwa with this encyclical produced by The Inquisition For A Constructive Tomorrow  for

             his Unholiness  Antipope  Marc XXIII:

“The Pope’s claim that: 'It is man who has slapped nature in the faceneeds to be weighed against  the fact that fossil fuels have allowed mankind  to  stop nature from slapping man in the face...
Instead of entering into an invalid Marriage with climate fear promoters — a marriage that is destined for an annulment – Pope Francis should administer last rites to the promotion of  man-made climate fears and their so-called solutions. This unholy alliance must be prevented... climate activists have even called for genetically altering humans to fight global warming."

Sound theology can draw but one lesson from this historic Roman conclave: those too preterite to slap Nature back should turn the other fish when slapped by their fellow man:
