VaticanNews portal reports (January 29, 2026) that southern African floods affecting Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Eswatini represent a “climate change” crisis, citing a World Weather Attribution study claiming human activity caused a 40% rainfall increase. The article describes infrastructure damage, 100+ deaths, and 300,000 displaced persons while advocating for “climate models developed in Africa.” This naturalistic framing exemplifies the conciliar sect’s abandonment of regnum Christi (the reign of Christ) over creation.
Naturalistic Fallacy as Theological Rebellion
The study’s claim that “human-induced climate change is the only plausible explanation” commits the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy, ignoring God’s sovereign dominion over weather patterns. As Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors condemns: “All action of God upon man and the world is to be denied” (Error 2). The article reduces meteorological phenomena to purely material causes, rejecting the scriptural truth that “He bringeth the wind out of his treasuries” (Psalm 135:7). By omitting divine providence, the conciliar sect perpetuates the modernist heresy that “Human reason, without any reference whatsoever to God, is the sole arbiter of truth” (Syllabus, Error 3).
Neglect of Divine Sovereignty Over Creation
Nowhere does the article acknowledge that “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made” (Psalm 33:6) or that environmental disasters constitute divine chastisements for national apostasy. The encyclical Quas Primas establishes: “Nations… must be obedient and subject to His dominion as Man: that is, through the hypostatic union, Christ has authority over all creatures” (Pius XI, 1925). The floods’ timing during Christmas octave – when neo-modernist hierarchies promote pagan earth-worship – suggests God’s judgment on ecumenical apostasy. As St. Augustine warns: “When God is abandoned, the visible order disintegrates” (City of God, IV:33).
Omission of Moral Causes in Environmental Disasters
The study’s silence about Africa’s 93% abortion rate (WHO 2025), 45% rise in occult practices (UNESCO 2024), and Mozambique’s recent “LGBTQI+ Pride Month” legislation reveals the climate narrative’s moral bankruptcy. Leo XIII’s Humanum Genus condemns such omissions: “When religion is removed… natural causes are wrongly assigned as responsible for events.” The floods coincide with Bergoglio’s February 2025 visit promoting Amazonian paganism – a connection the article deliberately obscures. True Catholics recall St. Vincent Ferrer’s warning: “Floods follow when rulers permit sodomy” (Sermons, 1412).
False Solutions Versus Catholic Tradition
Advocating “African-developed climate models” constitutes idolatrous technocracy, violating the principle: “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his justice; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33). The article ignores proven Catholic remedies:
Processions with the Blessed Sacrament halted the 1953 North Sea floods (Dutch bishops’ documents). The 1900 Galveston hurricane’s fury ceased after Bishop Nichoas A. Begley led the Litany of Saints.
Instead of calling for penance, the conciliar sect promotes the UN’s Agenda 2030 – condemned by Archbishop Lefebvre as “Marxism baptized with ecological rhetoric” (ECône sermon, 1987).
Climate Alarmism as Antichurch Dogma
The claim that similar floods now occur “every 50 years” relies on manipulated data, given that Mozambique’s 1977 Cyclone Dineo killed 6,000 under communist rule – a fact omitted from climate narratives. This aligns with Bergoglio’s Laudate Deum heresy that “global warming proves market capitalism’s failure” (§53). True Catholic teaching holds: “Changes in the physical world… follow upon the sins of men” (Roman Catechism, IV:33). Until nations consecrate themselves to Christ the King as Pius XI commanded in Quas Primas, such disasters will intensify as divine warnings.
