They should just stick to the moral issues... They can only declare mining as moral or immoral... And I agree with you that they didn't do a good job of proving that mining is immoral.taoharuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07542183486382288494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19345719.post-1139881740398121332006-02-13T17:49:00.000-08:002006-02-13T17:49:00.000-08:00i understand your position. if you have seen lafay...i understand your position. if you have seen lafayette's and marcopper's mess you can't help but think about closing all the mines. but you don't burn a house to kill just one rat. i guess, my attitude on the issue is influenced by my perception about the inappropriate role the catholic church is playing in society and politics. they are engaged in policy making; they might as well engaged properly by learning both the social and the technical side. with the church's huge money, i propose they should create a think tank to study properly the issues by employing experts and base their judgement on those expert judgment. or at least, their statements on important policy issues should be informed by expert judgement.Dave Lloritohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13592787212335457164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19345719.post-1139878126076142072006-02-13T16:48:00.000-08:002006-02-13T16:48:00.000-08:00Not everybody is happy about mining. Some are for ...Not everybody is happy about mining. Some are for it, some are against it, but most (like me) don't know where to stand on the issue. I am for employment and economic benefits. I am against environmental degradation. Living far from a mining area, I cannot really feel the seriousness of the problem.<BR/><BR/>The priests are closer to the masses than me. They're usually the poor, the powerless, the less articulate, the less technical members of our society. Perhaps, the bishops are just echoing what these people are saying. I am not supporting the bishops' call to close all mines. I think the bishops were overacting in making that call. I am just trying to understand them and why they took a stand against mining.taoharuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07542183486382288494noreply@blogger.com
