The environazis are driving me to distraction with their Malthusian, anti-life sentiments. Yet, I am very amenable in general to hearing about environmental concerns.<BR/><BR/>Also, being the wife of a geologist makes me naturally skeptical of the whole "climate change" theory. So, that doesn't help!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608702.post-31660939238539383372007-12-28T14:02:00.000-06:002007-12-28T14:02:00.000-06:00Tanya, Thanks for your comment.

On the other hand, the tendency of <I>some</I> environmentalists to blame "population" rather then specific, high-consumption populations, causes some Catholics to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

My personal experience as a devout Catholic, aka "an environmenal wacko" is that the "liberal" Catholics, seem to worship creation (so much that they condone abortion etc.) and the "conservative" Catholics, seem to worship the creature. By that I mean they promote unfettered economic growth, approve of the Iraq War, and generally are not in favor of any creature comfort denial to save the planet. Just my experience of course. BTW, I am good friends with your sister Katie (and definitely not in agreement re: environmental issues!)

However, this suspicion of the environmental movement certainly <I>does</I> exist, as evidenced by <I>Chronicles Magazine</I> which called Al Gore an <I>Enemy of the Planet</I> in its most recent edition. Such comments are common enough, even if not common enough to characterize a whole group.John Médaillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16463267750952578888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608702.post-23234071771950147332007-12-17T08:03:00.000-06:002007-12-17T08:03:00.000-06:00the first paragraph got to me... then I calmed dow...the first paragraph got to me... then I calmed down the more I read. The sweeping generalizations about Catholics and the Church are widespread. <BR/><BR/>There is not a singular type of Catholic. There are liberal Catholics and conservative Catholics. While the church's stance on abortion is quite clear, there is not dogma that says even the most conservative Catholics aren't economy car driving conservationists. Growing up in that community, seeing both liberal and conservatives in the Church, I don't buy into these broad stokes often pushed upon the church's followers... it is far too simplistic.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598303049180558695noreply@blogger.com
