It’s been bandied around before what this might look like in the confessional.
What is the sin here? The sin of doing evil things to the globe?
What is enough contrition for Gaia? I wonder if it isn’t enough for her until you become extinct.
That's what I'd like the men on the other side of the confessional screen to answer. Which bit of scripture supports this, to the point of doling out penance? Surely they must've covered this back when they were seminarians. I'm certain that they can explain and somehow justify all those hydrocarbon-spewing candles, too.
Mockery is a powerful weapon. If enough priests hear things like this, it'll make it to the ears of their bishops and archbishops. Ultimately, Rome will either find a way to double-down, or this will be quietly walked back.
