So interesting that Susan signed her note “Love, Susan”.  I listened in on a Sierra Club conference call about The Encyclical Letter a few days ago, hosted by a Catholic Priest and (Catholic) Sierrans who are very actively connecting with the faith-based organizations.  It was an exciting discussion — poetic even — The Encyclical Letter is about love.

About looking at this throwaway society in front of us and finding the love to change, to remember that Less is More.

There are over one billion followers of the Catholic Church around the world.  And Pope Francis just gave “all people of good will” the narrative we’ve been struggling to hard to find.  If you read anything this summer, give Pope Francis a chance?

Thanks,

Donna
