It’s one thing to disagree with certain environmental policies or to question global warming, it’s another to assert that man has a right to wantonly destroy or pollute the environment. Are you asserting the latter?

That is akin to asserting that someone who opposes Affirmative Action automatically supports racism.

well fine, is the pope calling for something analogous to affirmative action in this context.

when the penance is three hail marys and a donation to al gore, then we might have reason to worry.
