Vatican announces plans

to become first "carbon neutral state" in the world

"However, not everyone is satisfied with the Vatican’s plans to become “more green.” Mr. Iain Murray, senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told Cybercast News Service he doubted the new program would go far enough to satisfy what he called 'the environmental ultras,' who had recently decided 'that trees don't cut it when you're offsetting.'

'To the Church of Green, the Vatican will remain heretical,' Murray added."

Was about to send this story to my old friend, Iain Murray and then I realised he knew all about it, as he was quoted!

Across Europe in politics, the Greens are always the first to oppose churches being used for the Latin Mass. Liberals are the second worst enemies, followed by the Christian Democrats and finally, I suspect to the surprise of all, including themselves, the socialists have been known on occasion to be quite supportive. The left-wing council in Rome itself saved the interior of many of the Churches from the ravages of the post-conciliar times.

Suppose this could have been a story on my other blog, see link below right, And the World. Hopefully, the Vatican moves quickly back to saving souls rather than a guesture, useless given the Chinese attitude, towards saving the planet.
