When there is so much our shepherds need to speak out about and show courage and determination in the face of the excessive immorality of our age, this is really disgusting. Even the Pope is coming out with an encyclical on the environment and now darkening St. Peter's. What a bunch of fools. Where are our real leaders in the Church? Maranatha, Jesus!

Be careful what you wish for. This is another organization bent on world wide wealth redistribution. Follow the money supporters of this organization. It is pathetic and ripe with abortion providers. Wildlife support is not their only game.

What a pity. The Church is becoming just one more "me too" voice of secular wisdom.

And the point of all this 'awareness' is what, exactly?
