posted an interesting piece yesterday that questioned whether the religious voices attending the ongoing meeting of the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009 in Copenhagen will provide wisdom or camouflage for this ambitious group. You can read the post by Richards HERE.
Sunday started like any other day for Sister Joan Brown—with a period of prayer and meditation just before dawn at her home in Albuquerque.
Then, instead of going to Mass, the Franciscan sister boarded a plane to Copenhagen.
That’s a priceless juxtaposition. Perhaps Sister Brown attended Mass on Saturday night, but the symbolism here is palpable—going to Copenhagen “instead of going to Mass.” Going to Sunday Mass is obligatory for Catholics. The accompanying photograph shows Sister Brown and others praying, not before a cross or a crucifix or anything vaguely Christian, but before a big model of Mother Earth.
Somehow I can't imagine that St. Francis would be proud of Sister Brown.
