While there has been a flurry of interest in the Vatican’s designation of Pollution and Environmental Degradation as a sin – it seems that this is an overstatement by the media.
However, it does make for an interesting discussion, and protecting the environment is getting attention as a modern value.
“The Church continues to hold that sin is an act by an individual contrary to the will of God, that can be absolved after the sinner makes a valid confession. Critics have said that the idea of “social sin” such as “environmental degradation” is one for which no one individual can be held to account and that therefore becomes largely meaningless for the greater majority.

The Cancun choir and orchestra’s presentation of Mozart’s Requiem on Saturday (Dia de los Muertos) was a very moving experience. The 300+ crowd was incredibly enthusiastic, giving standing ovations, and insisting on two encores. If you missed attending the program we are soon going to release a CD that will include highlights of the Requiem.
Saturday night we performed with full orchestra, however we are also singing two more concerts of just choir with piano accompaniment. They will be held in the church in the hotel zone, this Friday Nov 7th, and Friday Nov 21st, both at 8:30pm. Hope to see you there.
