"Being Catholic Doesn't Mean Being Stupid"
Father Federico said something like that when asked about braving an incoming snow storm to get to Mass. Now this.
From Catholic World News
The Diocese of Stockton has begun a project that encourages local Catholics to install solar panels.
The diocese is encouraging Catholics to purchase panels from Sungevity, an Oakland-based company. In return, Sungevity will donate a total of $750 from every purchase to a local parish, the diocesan Catholic Charities, and the Catholic Climate Covenant, according the National Catholic Reporter.
“But this is so much more than about raising money,” said Bishop Stephen Blaire. “With each solar installation, we are saying to our Creator: we are personally committing to being better stewards of creation by harnessing the power of Brother Sun, as St. Francis would say.”
“I am enormously proud of this new venture because it says that the Catholic community understands that we are in a new age: an age where care for creation and care for the poor are top priorities in a world threatened by environmental harm,” he added.
Reading the Bishop's quotes makes me wonder if marijuana has been legalized in California. Perhaps "the poor" of the world may be threatened just a bit more by ISIS and Islam.
