Diocese’s Creation Care Team Network joins fight against Mitsubishi cement warehouse
As the new year begins, the fate of a proposed cement warehouse that would significantly increase diesel truck traffic through Barrio Logan is uncertain.
What is certain is that a coalition of neighborhood residents, people of faith and health activists will have their voices heard by the corporation that wants to build the facility and the public agency that has to approve it, the San Diego Port Commission.
“No decisions about us without us!” declared Jesuit Father Scott Santarosa, pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish.
He was the last speaker at a prayer vigil the parish organized on the night of Dec. 12, the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, outside the port’s headquarters on Pacific Highway. About 75 people attended the candlelit event, held on a damp night with temperatures in the high 40s, including parishioners and Jesuit Fathers Brad Mills and Neal José Wilkinson, and members of the diocese’s Creation Care Team Network.
“Our Lady of Guadalupe is not just a beautiful woman whose picture we hang on our wall,” Father Santarosa said. “She sends us forth, like she did with Juan Diego, to put our faith in action. That is why we’re here tonight. We’re not finished.”
A group of parishioners attended the Port Commission’s meeting the following day, when a public hearing on the warehouse had been scheduled. The company that wants to build it, however, asked for the hearing to be postponed to “take additional time to engage with the community more directly and in a more substantive way.”
The company, Mitsubishi Corp., is proposing to build the warehouse at the 10th Avenue Marine Terminal. The warehouse would create about 24,000 new diesel truck trips per year rumbling through Barrio Logan.

Jesuits......evil since the day they were formed to war against the Protestant Reformation. Still evil, dark, and calling many shots behind the scenes. Dark Powers in high places, and Rome’s wound is healed too. She’s back just as scripture prophecy says she would be......stay tuned.
Once “Logan Heights,” now “Barrio Logan.”
The Jesuit’s have been commies as far back as l can remember.

A resounding NO to that question!

Damn idiot Jesuits again? Anyone know where the Baptists stand on the issue.
This would be like having General Motors truck designers weigh in on Vatican II or something.
Problem #1 - There is no such thing as a zero emission truck.
Problem #2 - Evidently logic and argument are no longer parts of a priests education.
Problem #3 = Problem #1 + Problem #2.
Do they have they have a giant vacumn to stop the fumes of the coal fired power plants in China
They should be prevented from eating anything that didn’t get to the local grocery store on a zero emission truck.
