The Maryknoll missionaries have thrown their support behind 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg, comparing her to the Virgin Mary. “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. “Young women can & have changed the world,” they concluded.

And she is NOT 'knowledgable', just mouthy and glib. HUGE difference. NO 16 year old is 'knowledgeable'.

How insulting to the mother of Our Lord Jesus. Mary submitted herself to the will of God in humility and quiet rejoicing. She never set herself up on a pedestal or sought to usurp the place of her God as all knowing prophetess or preacher.
This little mentally ill female is being used and abused by powers greater and more malevolent than any ill she tries to attribute to the nonsense of Anthropogenic Climate Change.

It's absolutely sweet that the left finds wisdom in the words of a mentally disturbed 16 year old Swede.

I don't think they're saying anything other than don't mock the child. BTW how old was Joan of Arc?

Cripes, when I was 16 I thought I knew everything too. Parents were awfully dumb as well. Took me a couple years to learn that I was pretty stupid and the folks were smarter than I gave them credit for. In Greta's case, her folks are probably an exception to the rule. But she isn't.

This whole thing reminds me of reading about the “Children’s Crusades” back during the 1100s or 1200’s. Can’t remember when or the exact book, it’s been so long. But you can find it in any good crusades history book. Children would be so stirred up by sermons to go rescue the Holy Land that they would start out for there and gather more children to them as they went through towns. Had no idea where the Holy Land was or how to get there, they were just twisted with religious fervor. Needless to say, most of them died by the wayside.
Doesn’t this sound eerily similar to that disaster?
Young impressionable children corrupted by scheming adults with no regard for those children.
Some things never change.

Exactly #11 . . . they're into liberation theology. Maryknollers actively promote the idea that social justice trumps personal morality, that sin lies in “oppressive structures,” and that emancipation comes not so much through repentance as through the awakening of the proletariat.
Aside from that, the Virgin Mary was not used by her wealthy opera singer mother and actor father to advance their socialist agenda. (Oh, they co-wrote a book on climate change, by the way.)

Yes, Joan of Arc and the Children's Crusades are the best historical analogies. I sincerely hope that things end up better for Greta than for them.

It was the Jesuits, you know, Pope Francis's seminary ideology, that taught him the current "liberation theology" that has polluted the current Catholic Church thinking and spiritual direction. They had Galileo tried and convicted during the Inquisition for heresy. My parents would receive monthly the Maryknoll Magazine. If they were alive today, after this blatant blasphemy and total disrespect of Mary, My Queen and My mother, it would be off the reading AND donating list.
The hierarchy of the Church knows all to well that their "Sheep" have a hard time exercising their "free will" with the force of reconciliation with God hanging over their actions. That's real power.

Big difference between the two situations, but figures these fools would totally mock God. Slowly the Vatican is exposing its real mission, and it is gonna be ugly. They have elected a marxist as their faux pope, while the real pope Benedict languishes in isolation south of Rome. Mary fulfilled her traditional role in life as designed by God. Greta is not. Children lecturing adults met with serious punishment in the Bible. You would think the theologians would know this. But then they rewrote the Commandments in their catechsim book to hide their sins.

In the Holy Family's time the average life expectancy wasn't all that great. Infant mortality was high, so that society largely married and had children at a young age for practical reasons. The big difference between Greta and Mary is that Mary and her cohorts had to grow up and be an adult a lot sooner than today's teenage whiners.

I am beyond offended by this ridiculous, outrageous comparison!! Just to be perfectly clear, one is a mentally disabled puppet whose strings are shamelessly being pulled by the child-abusing leftists who raised her and their socialist cohorts.
The other is the mother of our Lord and Savior, chosen by God and revered by people through the centuries.
Five years from now, no one will even remember Saint Greta and her moronic words!!

Can't remember the name of that kid who preached to us after the Parkland shooting, but this is in the same vein. These young people are being used by the same people for the same ends. The ruination of America.

I was watching a clip of St. Greta at the UN. Because I work in a cube, the sound was off. She looked just like Adolf Hitler or Screamin' Bernie, or even Fauxahontas - with the sound off. Wierd faces, gesticulations, foam spewing. Hilarious, but, in a way, sad.

Mark Twain had it nailed down over a century ago:
"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years."
She is a typical know-it-all teen, a lot of them are particularly obnoxious at that age, as a general rule. Adults aiding and abetting this sort of underage, foolish arrogance just makes it that much worse. She really is a dangerous little girl, if she gets people believing the counterfactual garbage that she spews.
"Mass extinctions" ??? Where? NOT HAPPENING.
"Entire ecosystems are collapsing"???? Where?? This is NOT happening. This is a blatant LIE.
She is spewing nothing but clear, provably false propaganda, falsehoods and this unpleasant, strange, nasty little child is somehow looked upon as particularly important? She is no more important than any other 16 year old, which means she is ONLY particularly important to her parents, to her family and not really to anyone else.
Go away, strange, obnoxious, overbearing child. We don't want to hear the lies that you are telling.

I asked one of my Catholic friends about this.
She said that Catholic churches used to all support Maryknoll missionaries. You couldn't walk into a Catholic church without seeing their literature on the racks in the foyer. They would regularly take up special collections to support Maryknoll missionaries.
But then they went full-blown nutcase lie-beral (sort of like the current pope), and most parishes won't have anything to do with them any more. That speaks volumes!!!!!
