IN AN extravagant ceremony at the splendid 125-acre Palazzo Apostolico di Castel Gandolfo, near Rome, Pope Leo XIV signalled his allegiance to the globalist parasites by blessing a block of ice. Yes, he blessed a block of ice.
He did so in the presence of over 500 activists who had flown to Italy from across the world. The ice had been transported more than 3,000 miles to the palace from a glacier in Greenland.
The spectacle was arranged to mark the tenth anniversary of the publication of Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato Si’.
Shortly before this document was released, in an article headed The Tree Ring of the Fisherman lamenting the priorities of the Vatican in the face of the decline of Christianity and invasion of Europe, the great Mark Steyn wrote the following:
‘When I first started seeing headlines about the Pope pushing for action on climate change, I assumed the College of Climate Cardinals had had a whip round and decided to buy Michael E Mann a funny hat and a big balcony to make up for the implosion of his self-conferred Nobel Prize. But no, this isn’t His Hockiness but His Holiness – the real, actual Pope.’
And:
‘So the pontiff wants to get a piece of the climate-change action. Do carbon offsets qualify for papal indulgences?’
It is not known what has happened to the block of Greenland ice. Maybe it was used to cool the gin and tonics in the after-party. Will it be returned to the glacier? Perhaps it will be placed in an illuminated freezer and displayed on a plinth in St Peter’s Basilica. Perhaps it will be allowed to melt and become miraculous Holy Water. Perhaps it has begun the path to canonisation and we can soon look forward to St Glacier, St Ice and/or St Water.
Now the precedent has been set for blessing inanimate symbols of the climate scam, where will it end?
I look forward to the blessing of a poorly olive tree ravaged by insects or a weather anomaly to become the Sacred Tree of Crete and a place of pilgrimage. Or maybe there will be a Holy Puddle of Ethiopia that will cure the incurable. Will we get indulgences and less time in purgatory for recycling plastic bottle tops and junk mail about solar panels?
At the glittering ice-blessing ceremony, Pope Leo remarked: ‘There is no room for indifference or resignation.’ Indifference and resignation is exactly what I perceive to be the Church’s attitude towards the persecution and murder of Christians and the destruction of the foundations of the civilised world.
I await my excommunication.
