Chapters 122 and 123 of the Pope's latest encyclical are profound. Everything has to be convenient for me. I will volunteer but only when it is convenient, I will donate to a cause, only when I have money that I don't want for something else I don't need. I don't want to be inconvenienced saving our planet so instead I will wait and hope someone else does it or they invent someway of doing it that won't mean driving less often. In the meantime I will just not believe in it.
It is convenient for me to buy a $5 tee shirt so I won't care about the working conditions of the people halfway across the world. I like cheap food so I won't care about how farmers are effected by GMO crops or how that chicken was treated. We treat people and living creatures like objects everyday. How can we be Pro-life if we do this?
