The Vatican defines ‘new sins’ and going green

I’m happy to hear that the Vatican has started to look a little more in touch with our moral obligations to the environment.

I was even more surprised to hear that the Vatican itself has gone green, installing photovoltaic cells on its building and raising awareness of global environmental issues. It’s a shame to know that the Vatican, which has consistently lagged far behind world trends, is far out in front of our own White House and Congress on this issue.

Other ‘new sins’ included the world of  bioethics, in which scientists are becoming increasingly more adept at the creation of human tissues, organs, and entire beings.
