Wouldn’t that be pagan? They’re worshipping Gaia! Ahhhh! Not at all. This article about the environmental interests of Pope Benedict XVI and Ecumenical Patriach Bartholomew is a thought provoking read. Either these guys are becoming more liberal, I’m becoming more conservative, or people from stripes of life are putting aside their differences to realize our role as stewards of the ecosphere.

I found this link via Andrew Sullivan, who recently wrote Green Conservatism at the Times Online. And since we’re on the topic of Mr. Sullivan and religion, this quote he’s got from Oscar Romero rocks.

I was at this fantastic party my cousin and his gal pal threw on Saturday, fresh after teaching two 3 hour lectures back to back at the Art Institute. My brain was fairly fuzzy, got home, changed, paid the sitter, kissed the kid, grabbed the wife, got to the party.

We began talking with a gal who had lost her grandfather the previous week. I tried to recall the prayer from Romero in that post. I called him Cesar Romero instead of Oscar. The gal correct me, which made me say, “Wait, Cesar… didn’t he paint his moustache white along with his face to play the Joker? Sorry..” I think that inadvertent joke consoled her better than the prayer.
