Catholic Missionaries Compare Greta Thunberg to Virgin Mary
2019-09-25
[BREITBART] The Maryknoll liberation theologists missionaries have thrown their support behind 16-year-old climate activist Greta "Pippi" Thunberg
...an autistic sixteen year old Swedish expert on climate change...
, comparing her to the Virgin Mary.
I don't think she's gonna spawn a messiah.
"Christians getting their knickers all in a twist over the passionate, articulate & knowledgeable witness of Greta Thunberg because of her age seem to overlook the age of the Virgin Mary at the time of the Annunciation," the group wrote on Twitter.
The Virgin Mary didn't know anything about climate change.
"Young women can & have changed the world," they concluded.
They set fire to Joan of Arc. Valeria Messalina got a really short haircut when Claudius discovered he had a husband-in-law. Cleopatra dropped an asp into her cleavage.
The tweet was sent Tuesday from the official Twitter account of the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers, whose registered name is the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America, founded in 1911.
They've been junior commies since I was in short pants.
"We follow Jesus in serving the poor and others in need in 22 countries, including the U.S." states the group, which emphasizes its work in promoting social justice.
I already said that.
In her address to the United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
Monday, Ms. Thunberg said that that world leaders "have stolen my dreams, my childhood, with your empty words and yet I’m one of the lucky ones."
Greta's never had to practice getting under her desk in case of nuclear attack. Which of us has had it tougher? Neither of us had it as tough as the kids in Germany who were rounded up, put on a train with all their families, and shipped off to Majdenek or some garden spot like that. Just ask Anne Frank how tough she had it. Nor has Saint Greta ever had to pay a Hutu to shoot her instead of hacking her Tutsi ass to death. Ptui.

"This Earth is our home! And who built her?
Old fogeys? Your picture's off-kilter!"
"Wuzzat?" 'Twas a puzzle.
Ears, whiskers, a muzzle?
Duh! Earthrise with Instagram filter!

#15  #6 Couple more years and this girl will have lived out her usefulness. Then, well, I expect a suicide before 2025

I'm expecting evidence of a breakdown within the next few months.

They'll try to hush it up, of course.

#12  As Winston Churchill said: Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

For some reason, socialists today think they can get it right and make it work.

#1  Well, her Nobel is a given, now. As for sainthood, these people can do pretty much anything with children I guess.
