Thank you, Pope Benedict XVI, for
finally speaking out on an issue of critical important to us all, as opposed to creating a controversy through some kind of mangled or badly (un?)-vetted speech (as stated
here)…
Pope Benedict on Wednesday made another strong appeal for the protection of the environment, saying issues such as climate change had become gravely important for the entire human race.
The Pope made his appeal, his second on environmental issues in four days, at the end of his general audience before some 16,000 people in St Peter's Square.
'Care of water resources and attention to climate change are matters of grave importance for the entire human family,' he said.
'Encouraged by the growing recognition of the need to preserve the environment, I invite all of you to join me in praying and working for greater respect for the wonders of God's creation,' he told his listeners, speaking in English.
And regarding matters of faith (allegedly), I have to work extra hard to control my snark impulse on
this story, as well as
this one (h/t Atrios).
