The article, written by the Jesuit priest Father Benedict Mayaki, was entitled “Coronavirus: Earth’s unlikely ally,” and its secondary headline read, “The changes in human behavior due to the Covid-19 virus pandemic are yielding unintended benefits to the planet.” The author made no references to the tens of thousands of deaths attributed to the virus, except to say that the pandemic is “a global health concern.” However, there’s a bright side, Mayaki wrote: “Earth is healing itself,” as a result of the reduction in human activity. “In Italy, fish have returned to the canals in Venice. Less tourism and water transport have allowed the murky waters to settle,” wrote Mayaki. “Migratory birds, including swans have been sighted gliding through the city’s waterways.” He added that China has reduced its nitrogen emissions as a result of its lockdown measures to counteract COVID-19, and Hong Kong has experienced a decline in pollutants generally. He also added that “The global reduction in air, land and sea travel is yielding benefits for the planet” by reducing carbon emissions. Mayaki’s statements follow Pope Francis’ own assertions on March 22 claiming that the coronavirus pandemic is nature “having a fit” over damage to the environment. Stating that “curiously the planet hasn’t been very clean for a long time,” Pope Francis was asked, “Is it possible that this is nature’s hour of reckoning with us?” He answered: “There’s a saying that you surely know: God always forgives, we forgive sometimes, [but] nature never forgives. Fires, earthquakes . . . that is, nature is having a fit, so that we will take care of nature.” The Vatican News headline of the now-yanked article appears to be slightly modified version of a similar headline of a similar article by CNN published on March 20, and entitled, “There's an unlikely beneficiary of coronavirus: The planet.” Strong condemnation from readers After the article was announced by Vatican News on its Twitter feed, the reaction from readers was universally negative. Canon law professor Edward Peters asked, “Can you even begin to imagine how your words impact the tens of thousands mourning the loss of loved ones, not to mention the tens of millions suffering the destruction of their livelihoods, in the wake of this disaster?” “Your disregard for their plight cannot be more obvious,” he concluded, and added in a second tweet, “Disgusting. Shame on the Vatican News Service for publishing this.” Many responses referred ironically to the recent “Pachamama” scandal, in which what appeared to be an idol representing a pagan earth goddess, “Pachamama,” was venerated in a ritual in the Vatican after the images had been blessed by Pope Francis. The event has a symbol for a synod that seems to have replaced spiritual concerns with radical environmentalism. Thomas Cole, chairman of the theology department at a Catholic prep school, called the article “disappointing,” and pointed out that it was repeating claims that had been debunked in a National Geographic article. The claim that the environment is improving due to a slowdown in human economic activity is one that has been repeated in numerous articles in the past ten days, but at least some of the claims are false, National Geographic reported in a recent article called, “Fake animal news abounds on social media as coronavirus upends life.” Particularly, the oft-repeated claim echoed by Mayaki that swans have returned to the canals of Venice is not true, according to the article, which states that the source is an erroneous tweet using photos of swans that have long inhabited nearby canals. Claims that dolphins have come into the canals of Venice are also debunked by the article. The Guardian newspaper, which ran an article on the new visibility of the fish in the canals of Venice, does not claim that the fish have “returned,” but only that they can now be seen more easily. The publication cites an environmental researcher at Venice’s Institute of Marine Science, Davide Tagliapetra, who says that the apparent cleanliness of the canals is “not due to a lack of pollution” but “the absence of motorised transport, which normally churns up the muddy canal floor,” in the words of The Guardian summarizing his statements.

This article has been updated to reflect that after its publication, Vatican News deleted the article entitled, “Coronavirus: Earth’s unlikely ally.”
Pure Luciferian/ Globalist/ Freemasonic wickedness from the very heart of the Jesuit run Vatican. The virus is helping by cleansing Pachamama, Mother Earth, of people. INSANE
https://populationmatters.org/quotes Jane Fonda, actor and activist (born 1937) “There’s lots to worry about these days but you know what worries me most: the news I read day before yesterday that by something like 2045 there will be 10 billion people on the planet — or more! I’m scared. I’ll be gone but I am scared for my grandchildren and for the wild animals and for the whole human race.” Stephen Hawking, physicist (born 1942) “In the last 200 years the population of our planet has grown exponentially, at a rate of 1.9 per cent per year. If it continued at this rate, with the population doubling every 40 years, by 2600 we would all be standing literally shoulder to shoulder.” “Six years ago, I was warning about pollution and overcrowding; they have gotten worse since then. The population has grown by half a billion since our last interview, with no end in sight. At this rate, it will be eleven billion by 2100. Air pollution has increased by eight per cent over the past five years.” “Our planet and the human race face multiple challenges. These challenges are global and serious — climate change, food production, overpopulation, the decimation of other species, epidemic disease, acidification of the oceans.” Al Gore, former US Vice President (born 1948) "Population growth is straining the Earth's resources to the breaking point, and educating girls is the single most important factor in stabilizing that. That, plus helping women gain political and economic power and safeguarding their reproductive rights." “One of the things we could do about it is to change the technologies, to put out less of this pollution, to stabilize the population, and one of the principal ways of doing that is to empower and educate girls and women. You have to have ubiquitous availability of fertility management so women can choose how many children to have, the spacing of the children… You have to educate girls and empower women. And that’s the most powerful leveraging factor, and when that happens, then the population begins to stabilize and societies begin to make better choices and more balanced choices.” Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary-General (born 1938) “The idea that population growth guarantees a better life — financially or otherwise — is a myth that only those who sell nappies, prams and the like have any right to believe.” “Population stabilisation should become a priority for sustainable development, including a strong focus on the empowerment of women and girls.” “The principle of contraction and convergence with a population base year should provide the basic framework for global greenhouse gas emission reductions.” “…reproductive health (is) one of the key tools in the wider battle against poverty.” U Thant, former UN Secretary-General (1909-1974) “The problem of the growing food shortage cannot be solved without in many cases a simultaneous effort to moderate population growth.”
So true. Everyone else needs culled. Everyone else is a problem. Not me. I'm not the problem , I'm part of the solution.
Exactly! Get rid of the elderly, the handicapped, the poor in Africa, Asia and Latin America. As for me and my family and my friends, well... that´s an entirely different matter.
Can't stand even looking at her face. One of the director's I worked under at ICE was the recipient of torture directly traced back to this "person" and her mouth and politics. I have heard a direct story and it is really heart wrenching. I hope she has repented and I have prayed for her but all I see is her rich, entitled, political virtue signaling.
