ysabetwordsmithThe Pope has proposed a category of ecological sin.
I note that amidst all the dithering nobody seems to have recalled that (according to this tradition) God made the Earth and told humans to take care of it, which makes destroying God's work a very credible sin indeed. I mean, how can man name the animals if some of them have died out? They're supposed to be found and named. Surely thwarting that is a sin.

If he could get the Catholics working on tikkun olam, that's a HUGE chunk of the population of Europe, Africa, and South America, and a sizeable chunk here and a significant part of the upper and lower Pacific Rim... add that to what China and India are up to these days, and it might make up for the amount of sacrelige Dipshiticus Oathbreakerus is committing... (Sacrelige for Catholics, Jews, western Pagans, and Buddhists alike... it's not *quite* universal, but add those populations up and you've got a goodly plurality...)
