I had every intention of this post being a continuance of my thoughts on Laudato Si and what Pope Francis means to the environmental community. But then Friday happened and I had to write something else. I had to write this.
I arrived with my wife at 9:20am. We had talked about it, and being 40 minutes early made the most sense considering what the crowd might look like. It turns out that decision was wise. By the time it began, people were standing anywhere they could. Only the first ten rows or so on the right side were empty. They would be filled in a moment, but I noticed that the absence of people in that one part of the Church was fitting, almost poetic.
