Hellfire or global warming?   30/8/2007

Forgive me, Father, I had baked beans on toast and two pints of Guinness and you know how much greenhouse gas that produces.
And Father, although I beseech, cajole and threaten like a Sister of No Mercy, I can’t get the family to recycle the toilet paper.
Further, Father, I was cruel to animals by hunting the bats and rats from the cave you expect us to live in.
And Father, I had impure thoughts when Mary and I were hugging trees.
Father, doesn’t global warming increase every time the gates of hell open to admit a sinner? You could do your bit to help there, Father.

Dom Anthony Sutch, the Benedictine monk who resigned as head of Downside School to become a parish priest in Suffolk, will be at the county’s Waveney Greenpeace festival this weekend to hear eco-confessions in what is thought to be the first dedicated confessional booth of its kind.
