Global Warming...again

Maybe I missed something. Or maybe I’m not taking this serious enough. Not only is the Vatican adding “ruining the environment” to the list of mortal sins, but the Southern Baptists are now actively taking a stance to stop global warming. 46 key members of the SBC criticized their denomination for being too timid when it comes to global warming. They say their passivity comes across as uncaring, reckless and ill-informed to the world. They should add that their stance against homosexuality comes across as uncaring; their stance against abortion comes across as reckless; and their stance against female clergy is ill-informed (all according to the world). Since when do we worry about how the world views the Church. The Church doesn’t belong to the world, it belongs to Jesus Christ. We should be worried what HE thinks about it. Once again, maybe He is worried how we’re viewed by the alarmists that are the global warming crowd. Maybe I have it all wrong. And as for the Catholic Church adding “mortal sins” willy-nilly, what more can you say. It’s the Catholic Church. If you follow the link and read the article, it sounds like they’re more concerned about their confessional rates plummeting. Maybe this is a way to draw more people in?
