    I thought it was a spoof at first.

    "Image of Christ seen in Irvine living room. Do you see it?" Yes, it's on the wall behind them. Game over.

    Dear Fr P,

    I like the animated scripts (see enough trouble). However bearing in mind the trouble some folks have seeing things maybe I would think twice before using them!They might be seeing angels in my emails or blog comments next....
    regards maryclare :-)

  7. OK, I'm confused. Why do you believe global warming to be a religion?

    The best science is that humans are contributing to increased greenhouse gases in the air and that this increase is contributing to increased global temperatures. I don't think this contradicts any Church teaching? Hence, I'm confused!

  8. Pat,

    I don't think it's actually a religion. However, the global warming alarmist often sound like TV preachers...and anyone who disagrees with them are labeled heretics...and they refuse to look at any evidence that contradicts their claims...and the eco-friendly propaganda in the schools sounds like Sunday School lessons...and they talk about Earth as if it were a god (note the consistent lack of article in front of the word "earth)...and they want to impose their eco-asceticism on the world via national and international gov't's...so, yea a lot like religion.

    For a lot of religious women the whole eco-theology thing is literally a religion.

    I freely admit that I am no scientist, but there is no consensus on among scientists that carbon emissions by humans is damaging the environment. And the global warming propaganda is simply false.

  9. Thanks, yes, I can see that. People do have a tendency to be pretty single-minded about all this.

    I am a scientist and have followed the global warming problem for years (it's been on the scientist's radar for decades). There is a broad consensus among scientists that warming is happening, but the consequences of the changes are not as clear, and how those changes will impact the lives of people is also not clear.

    When change of any sort occurs, people do suffer, and the poor generally suffer more.

    We are, of course, littering on a grand scale. I imagine many of us who would never dream of tossing a paper wrapper out of the car window, do drive more than necessary without thinking it is essentially doing the same thing. It's just invisible. (And overall, the potential impact of the paper wrapper is minimal.)
