[what's up]

Interesting that Francis of Assissi is often embraced by enviros for his “Brother Sun, Sister Moon” approach.

Yes. Fr. Veik displayed a basket of packages of Pot Pourri made of recycled materials that handicapped people sponsored by his Capuchin Order (a Franciscan Order) had put together. The various scents were called Brother Sun, Sister Water, etc. At one point he asked, rhetorically, if he sounded like a salesman as he explained how good it was that these handicapped people could embark on this project where they could turn over their earnings to people less advantaged than they?

My head was exploding, but I was nodding 'yes' vigorously, much to the chagrin of those seated behind me, I'm sure.

I don't know if he wanted us to purchase this pot pourri after Mass, or not. I didn't stick around to find out. I had to get out of there before I embarrassed myself. I think a letter is in order.
