The sad truth is that very few people will be concerned over what sins Americans are committing.Only 10% of American Catholics bother to confess their sins at all. Since they can conveniently ignore their personal sins, is it any wonder that they can so easily ignore the sins committed anonymously for them by international corporations?

Thanks for your own thoughtful and articulate comment, Margaret. According to news reports, this issue has not yet reached the point of official papal pronouncement. However, the Vatican’s newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, reportedly carried an interview with a high Vatican official on the subject, according to CNN and Reuters. Stay tuned.

It’s refreshing and uplifting to have the Catholic Pope’s pronouncements edited by an articulate woman committed to preserving our planet from the results of the seven deadly sins, particularly murder and greed. It might possibly humble the Pope that the sins Buckdata articulates are so much worse, so much bigger, and so much more deadly than any a single errant individual could commit. Maybe he could expand his vision too?
