Not original, did you know this ?

I'm quite aware of it; but nowhere does the saint refer to the earth, fire, moon, whatever, "crying out" as if they had souls.

Face it, Bergoglio is a pagan; St. Francis was not one.

I'm quite aware of it;

That seems odd; most of the objections I read are for referring to the earth as a mother and Francis of Assisi is not alone in that regard.

Do you also condemn the use of the term(s) in question by the Church Fathers ?

Is Sirach / Ecclesiasticus 40:1 in the Bible ?

“Great travail is created for every man, and an heavy yoke is upon the sons of Adam, from the day that they go out of their mother's womb, till the day that they return to the mother of all things.”

[af_vet_1981]

Surely you must know this one by heart:

And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
