IN the NEWS - GREEN GOSPEL Clergy?

Keep thee far from a false matter;
Exodus 23:7
"Catholic Online reports that new priests will be expected to be familiar with and promote efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
Now updated guidelines for the formation of clergy says new
priests ....
Protecting the environment and caring for our common home — the Earth, belong fully to the Christian outlook on man and reality. Priests should be “promoters of an appropriate care for everything connected to the protection of creation.”
The new guidelines suggest that in the future, priests will also have a good grasp of the global climate change problem and will share this with their congregation.
The Earth's temperatures are spiking faster that at any time in history. The speed of the warming is so great, it is fueling extinctions and other crisis. Natural selection, evolution and adaptation cannot keep up with the pace of rapid change.
Therefore we should look to the Church for direction on this issue. ...Hopefully, educating priests on how to talk to their parishioners about this topic will help encourage a balanced, moral solution to the problem we face."
