Pope Francis Says No to Fracking

Pope Francis Says No to Fracking

Stefanie Spear | January 12, 2015 9:07 am

We’ve been busy lately providing news on all the great ways Pope Francis is working to create a healthy, sustainable planet. In July 2014, Pope Francis called destruction of nature a modern sin. In November 2014, Pope Francis said “unbridled consumerism” is destroying our planet and we are “stewards, not masters” of the Earth. In December 2014, he said he will increase his call this year to address climate change. And, last week we announced that Pope Francis is opening his Vatican farm to the public.

Now, we learn from Nicolás Fedor Sulcic that Pope Francis is supportive of the anti-fracking movement. Watch this interview by Fernando Solanas where he met with Pope Francis soon after finishing a film about fracking in Argentina.

... and gov. cuomo?

Maybe there's a waiting list for this sort of thing.

BTW: If he's got any opinions about a Const. Amend. re. Citizens United .... that could help too.

( Going to Albany in 2 weeks to lobby for same. "Oh Lord, Hear our prayers.".)
