The clerical footprint

The environment and our carbon footprint are on the lips of many people as Europe sizzles.

But why are so many people flying?

A wise Dominican was heard saying in recent days that it seems the clerical establishment is saying nothing on the environment.

It would be interesting to calculate the worldwide clerical footprint.

Next month the Dominican Order is holding a worldwide meeting in Vietnam. People from all over the world will be flying to South East Asia for the occasion.

One might ask for what but certainly it will be interesting to know the damage it will do to the environment.
