Quick Thought on Laudato si': Set the Example, Help Save the Planet and Don't Travel to the US in September.

If the Pope is as concerned about environmental damage due to coal, oil, etc., used in transportation, buildings, etc., then I would like to make the following plea to Pope Francis:


Please do not travel to the US in September and stay in Rome.


Do you realize how much oil will be used to transport you, your aides, journalists, etc. from Europe to the US?


Do you realize how much energy and resources will be wasted to set up the various events that you will attend?


Do you realize how much energy and resources will be wasted with millions attempting to see and hear you?


How much energy has been spent working on your visit to date?


Pope Francis, please set the example on how one should help save the plant.  Do not travel to the US in September.  Stay in Rome. 


Show the world that you know how to lead the way.

Environmentalism Running Amok in the Archdiocese?

As many of us watch BP unable to stop the oil leak and The Most Merciful in way over his head, I received an item from a reader. Now, I am not certain if she is trying to tell me something or just to let me know of the general wackyness that comes out of St. Rose.

She sent me an audio sermon of Fr. Paul for Pentacost Sunday. At the very start, he says "that every house that does not recycle is its' own BP oil spill."

Wow! Can you believe this? I certainly do not expect to hear this at Mass.

I wonder if he will say that every family which supports the gay lifestyle is like its' own Castro St or Folsom Street Fair? Now that I would like to hear.

(BTW, I would have posted the audio file but Google Blog does not support the posting of them.)
