Pollution Is Now A Mortal Sin

I don't know how I missed this little tidbit. Evidently, earlier in the year Pope Benedict XVI added pollution to the list of things that will send you straight to a reception with the devil himself.Now you can get your one way ticket to Hell for Violation of Human Rights, Drug Trafficking and Consumption, Excessive Wealth, Inflicting Poverty, Morally Debatable Experiments, Genetic Manipulation and Environmental Pollution. According to Ground Report these sins were added to boost confessions.

I'm hoping they issued some guidelines with them. I mean, how are you supposed to know if you're excessively wealthy as opposed to plain old wealthy? Do you have to confess every time you pop a Midol or have pain medication your root canal or is there a restricted list of drugs you must confess for? Do you have to go in for an emergency confession if you still purchase incandescent bulbs or is some bigger offense required like dumping toxic waste?

Just asking.

Either way Al Gore needs all the help he can get and it looks like the Pope has his back.
