New Sins

-
Over the weekend Catholic Archbishop Gianfranco Girotti, the Vatican's number two man in the sometimes murky area of sins and penance, spoke of modern evils. He said that causing envionmental blight is now a sin. In recent months, Pope Benedict has made several strong appeals for the protection of the environment, saying issues such as climate change had become gravely important for the entire human race.
-
The people who drive around with only one person in these 12 miles per gallon pickup trucks and SUVs have already been directly linked to supporting terrorism and the bankrupting of the American economy by sending so much of the country's money to Saudia Arabia. Now the Catholic church says they are sinners because of their air pollution and their contribution to global warming.
-
Not to mention that they are just plain stupid and wasteful. When there are millions of poor people in American who cannot afford health insurance, for these dumb jerks to be driving around in their tanks, many of which are financed on 72 month loans, goes far beyond dumb.
-
These same people probably don't read books either. Just like their President George W.
