 Below: Andrew Conradi, ofs (middle right with sign) talking to man before the event started | 350.org Rise for Climate (Victoria Rise and Resist) 8 Sept 2018 outside BC Legislature; one of 877 events in 93 countries. OFS Little Portion Fraternity, Victoria, BC members: Mary Anne Gervais, Josée Contorines and Andrew Conradi.  We're rising because we know what needs to happen: we need every local leader to commit to a fast and fair transition to 100% renewable energy and to stop new fossil fuel projects. And no more delays. Pope Francis in his 2015 Laudato Si’ (n 165) wrote: “We know that technology based on the use of highly polluting fossil fuels – especially coal, but also oil and, to a lesser degree, gas – needs to be progressively replaced without delay.” |
Pope Francis in his message for the 2018 World Day of Prayer for The Care of Creation mentions “a growing sense of the need for a renewed and sound relationship between humanity and creation” and wants to “draw attention to the question of water.” He says “access to safe drinkable water is a basic and universal human right ... every privatization … , at the expense of the human right to have access …, is unacceptable.” Church bulletin article prepared by Andrew Conradi.
