In other news, Pope Benedict announced on Friday that we all ought to pitch in together and make serious changes to save the earth. According to his holiness, God has called upon us all to make a lifestyle change. Somewhat ironic, given it was only a year ago when he urged for another lifestyle change which he likened to saving the rainforest.
Is it just me, or is the Pope trying to capitalize on the current currency of the environmental movement to revamp his decidedly stale and unpalatable image? I’d cast stones, but he’s hardly the first. Green washing your public image and declaring yourself an “environmentalist” is certainly in vogue these days. Perhaps it’s time to make it official.
Pope goes eco-chic
