On Earth Day, Pope Francis repeats belief that natural disasters are the planet’s revenge

 

    Pope Francis has insisted once again that natural disasters, like the Wuhan coronavirus, are the unforgiving earth’s revenge for sins against the environment.

    Pope Francis declared that humanity has “sinned against the earth, against our neighbors and ultimately against the Creator.” 

    “It goes: ‘God always forgives; we humans sometimes forgive, and sometimes not; the earth never forgives’        

    General Audience of 22 April 2020
