The Existential Atheist, Ctd - The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan

The Existential Atheist, Ctd - The Daily Dish By Andrew Sullivan AS [yesterday] linked to wonderful Sagan bit on our beautiful island home, earth. Born to this one world, our species, or more accurately the power brokers of our species seem hellbent on destroying us and all living things, Look at the wickedness in the Gulf. No, not Arabia, the Americas. BP's irresponsibility [and the other assorted corporate malefactors] has and continues to cause wanton damage to our ocean, the planet, flora and fauna. Government oversight of offshore drilling was a bad joke, and the joke's on all of us. Collectively we crave oil because it fuels our industrial existence. But, really, the fuel of our salvation is love and only love. For each other, ourselves, the planet and all of creation. Peace.

To Sinead O'Connor, the pope's apology for sex abuse in Ireland seems hollow - washingtonpost.com
Years ago, I hung a poster from the newspaper, "The Catholic Worker," that read: The greatest kindness I have to offer you is the truth. Openness, sincere acknowledgement of past wrongs, care for and compensation of victims, and cooperation with civil authorities these are the steps that need to be taken by institution for crimes against children. The cover ups, the excuses, and rationalizations must end! If the men of the cloth are men of faith they know that God sees all. What else matters beyond our attempts to make ourselves right with the Lord? A contrite heart requires deeds.
