Catholic Fundamentalists are slow to criticize.

Many sound, decent people have concluded that environmental extremists are disturbed and irrational. Some call them names like “tree huggers”, “dead-brained wackos”, “alarmists”, “nutcases”, and many other insulting things.

That, of course, reinforces their patterns of thought. Those calling the names are often as wrapped up in worldly things as those they insult. Others think that describing destructive beliefs as, well, “destructive” will help.

Catholic Fundamentalists do understand that environmentalists are wrong, overreacting, and, often, combine excessive concern with outright hysteria. Such simple, confused souls are usually on the left half of the bell curve. No matter how misguided and irrational, some of them do have true concerns about the well being of their neighbors. Others among the clamoring crowd have learned to adopt popular beliefs to appear to be more, or less, intelligent than they actually are.

But,

Environmental extremists are a far, far better class of people than those who use them. Most activists lack the wisdom to understand that, two or three levels above them, vastly smarter people provide money to fund the groups in which membership is carefully designed to give meaning to activists’ lives, many of which have been emptied of deeper values by the constant machinations of the paymaster elitists.

Catholic Fundamentalists see the entire environmental movement as another migration of lemmings toward the bright lights of Bunyan’s Vanity Fair. Those who lead the lemmings off the cliffs fall into far deeper depths than those who follow them down.

The pitiful followers of the Lemming Gods are drawn to what they are told are brighter lights and better times.

These simple souls are, in the words of The Son, “little ones”. Of those who lead little ones astray, He was quite plain: “It would be better for them if a millstone were tied around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.”
