Colby Cosh: Pope’s encyclical on climate change reads like the Unabomber Manifesto | National Post

I post this column to round out the various opinions to the Pope's encyclical on the environment. Clearly this one comes from someone who is hostile to the Church aside from just this document.

Amen." This beautiful prayer was shared with me by a parishioner who's sanctity and holy character would put even a holy priest to shame. It's a prayer which she repeats to herself every time she is aware that she is 'thinking empty thoughts' so as to continually keep the spiritual needs of others first in her mind and heart.
