Comments on: Vatican: The Solution to Pollution is Damnation http://climateprogress.org/2008/03/10/vatican-pollution-is-a-deadly-sin/ The Latest on Climate Science, Solutions, and Politics Fri, 21 Nov 2008 19:23:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1 By: Paul K http://climateprogress.org/2008/03/10/vatican-pollution-is-a-deadly-sin/#comment-9328 Paul K Tue, 11 Mar 2008 01:13:04 +0000 http://climateprogress.org/2008/03/10/vatican-pollution-is-a-deadly-sin/#comment-9328 Way back then when I was in Catholic school, a favorite punishment was making us scrape all the gum from all the sidewalks within a three block radius of the school. I'm sure something analogous could be worked out for polluters. By the way, Joe, since you are not an environmentalist, you better watch out. Not being of the Faith provides you no protection. As Tommy Smothers famously said about the Catholics, "They'll get you!"

Even if I were a Christian, I don't see how you can follow a set of statements that - when you analyze them - are basically meaningless...

Remember you have to confess your sins and honestly intend to sin no more while making amends to the injured to avoid everlasting Damnation. I would think any type of sustainability cult would be anaethema to the Catholic Church--less customers is bad for business.
