    Only applicable if you're a Roman Catholic ;)

    Watev. I personally don't care what the catholic church thinks. Up until only recently it was a sin to listen to rock music. Surely what the bible says goes, and not some guy in a nice hat?

    Benedict has the church going mad. It's nice to think about "green" things, but I'm not sure they should be first priority when deling with an organization with over 1.1 billion followers.

    The pagans, muslims buddists and so on don't affect the enviromnent as much as we do per capita.

    It's mostly "christians" who are contributing to global warming and all that, either directly or by providing markets for stuff form the rest of the world.

    OK, so an organisation that previously promoted chastity and celibacy while indulging in the wholesale rape of children now admonishes against pollution. Presumably the Vatican has found a way to rape the planet up the wrong end.

    Really? The biggest devout Christian populations are in Africa and Latin America. And the four biggest polluters are China, USA, India, and Indonesia. Only one of them is even remotely Christian.

    I think they felt compelled to list it given all the media attention, because otherwise it is just such a truism to declare pollution (the waste of intrinsically sinful human ways upon God's perfect creation) to be sinful that they didn't both.

    re devout "christians" not christians

    china's boom is being funded by the stuff we're buying from them

    india and indonesia have low per capita emissions overall only high because of the populations, and in the case of indonesia the massive habitat clearing to grow things like palm oil for us

    Japan would be big non-christian one contribiuting to global warming per capita
