You feel there is no particular moral issue with dumping a few tons of battery acid and sewage into the nearest river?
Nothing that mia said seems to indicate that belief or "feeling".
What do battery acid and sewage have to do with climate change and carbon dioxide “pollution”?
When’s the last time anyone did that?
That rings a bit hollow from someone whose tagline advocates nuking Saudi Arabia.
“You feel there is no particular moral issue with dumping a few tons of battery acid and sewage into the nearest river?”
Do you really think that’s what he’s talking about? Does the average Catholic go around doing such things? If not, why would he be exhorting them to confess?

I don't like arguing with people here, but I have to say, I really don't think mia meant that at all. I think our fellow FReeper was just indicating that if everything is a sin, including using carbon-based fuel, then nothing is a sin. So the Pope is cheapening the term.
Also, with all due respect, I think whatever point you meant to make is at odds with your tagline.
Nuclear radioactive contamination lasts for a very long time and spreads wherever the wind blows. On the other hand, I think the U.S. has done a good job of cleaning up polluted rivers. But there's nothing you can do, as far as I know, to clean up radioactivity. I may be wrong on that, and if so, I apologize.
Not by comparison with the slaughter by dismemberment of 60 million + innocent unborn babies in the US alone, no!
Lying through deliberate misrepresentation is a sin, too.
Nice non-sequitur. Carbon is life. Reduce carbon dioxide, and plants die. Reduce plant life, and animals die.
