At the global level, it is a complex system linked to many of the essential conditions for human life. A very solid scientific consensus indicates that we are presently witnessing a disturbing warming of the climatic system. In recent decades this warming has been accompanied by a constant rise in the sea level and, it would appear, by an increase of extreme weather events, even if a scientifically determinable cause cannot be assigned to each particular phenomenon. Humanity is called to recognize the need for changes of lifestyle, production and consumption, in order to combat this warming or at least the human causes which produce or aggravate it. It is true that there are other factors (such as volcanic activity, variations in the earth’s orbit and axis, the solar cycle), yet a number of scientific studies indicate that most global warming in recent decades is due to the great concentration of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxides and others) released mainly as a result of human activity. As these gases build up in the atmosphere, they hamper the escape of heat produced by sunlight at the earth’s surface. The problem is aggravated by a model of development based on the intensive use of fossil fuels, which is at the heart of the worldwide energy system. Another determining factor has been an increase in changed uses of the soil, principally deforestation for agricultural purposes. Pope Francis here confronts the politically charged issue of climate change. It must be noted that any disagreements about the reality of climate change are almost always politically motivated not scientific. As Pope Francis states there is a solid scientific consensus that there is a significant warming of the climatic system. There ae some who try to challenge the Pope’s authority in the field of science. Actually the pope had some experience in the field of science before he became a priest, being a chemical technician. Besides by virtue of his position he has access to the highest level of scientific knowledge. His primary concern is not about scientific questions but about the morality of human actions and the effect this has on God’s creation. He acknowledges that it may be difficult to point out a one to one relationship to human activity and global warming. There are other environmental activities that exacerbate human activity. The scientific consensus is that the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases which are released by human activity prevent the escape of heat produced by sunlight. The moral issues that he raises is that humanity is called “to recognize the need for changes of lifestyle, production and consumption…” The production and consumption issues are the intensive use of fossil fuels and deforestation for agricultural purposes. In this paragraph Francis is acting in the role of the prophets in the scriptures calling us to repentance. He confronts us with our failures as a human society and calling us to turn back to God.

MESSAGE FROM MONSIGNOR LAUDATO SI (PARA 23)
23. The climate is a common good, belonging to all and meant for all. At the global level, it is a complex system linked to many of the essential conditions for human life. A very solid scientific consensus indicates that we are presently witnessing a disturbing warming of the climatic system. In recent decades this warming has been accompanied by a constant rise in the sea level and, it would appear, by an increase of extreme weather events, even if a scientifically determinable cause cannot be assigned to each particular phenomenon. Humanity is called to recognize the need for changes of lifestyle, production and consumption, in order to combat this warming or at least the human causes which produce or aggravate it. It is true that there are other factors (such as volcanic activity, variations in the earth’s orbit and axis, the solar cycle), yet a number of scientific studies indicate that most global warming in recent decades is due to the great concentration of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxides and others) released mainly as a result of human activity. As these gases build up in the atmosphere, they hamper the escape of heat produced by sunlight at the earth’s surface. The problem is aggravated by a model of development based on the intensive use of fossil fuels, which is at the heart of the worldwide energy system. Another determining factor has been an increase in changed uses of the soil, principally deforestation for agricultural purposes.
Pope Francis here confronts the politically charged issue of climate change. It must be noted that any disagreements about the reality of climate change are almost always politically motivated not scientific. As Pope Francis states there is a solid scientific consensus that there is a significant warming of the climatic system. There ae some who try to challenge the Pope’s authority in the field of science. Actually the pope had some experience in the field of science before he became a priest, being a chemical technician. Besides by virtue of his position he has access to the highest level of scientific knowledge. His primary concern is not about scientific questions but about the morality of human actions and the effect this has on God’s creation. He acknowledges that it may be difficult to point out a one to one relationship to human activity and global warming. There are other environmental activities that exacerbate human activity. The scientific consensus is that the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases which are released by human activity prevent the escape of heat produced by sunlight. The moral issues that he raises is that humanity is called “to recognize the need for changes of lifestyle, production and consumption…” The production and consumption issues are the intensive use of fossil fuels and deforestation for agricultural purposes.

STAINED GLASS WINDOWS. The Parish Council has decided to move forward with a project of putting in Stained Glass in
the tops of the windows in the Church. We have committed ourselves by paying a design fee of $50 per window for the fourteen
windows. We have accepted the proposal of Jason Lindell of Sundog Glass Design in Park River. The next step is coming up
with a design. Jason describes the process: “This design will include a final design for the “tops” of the windows and a “basic
template” for the bottoms of the windows. This way we will know where we are going in the future with respect to the
sanctuary. The design will be a collaborative effort between myself and the standing committee, and will end only when both
parties are satisfied with the resulting design. This fee is non-refundable should your committee decide not to follow through
with the project.” After a design is decided, we will pay half the cost prior to installation. The estimated cost is $600 to $650
which will depend on the final design.
SAVE THE DATE! February 11, 2016 is Giving Hearts Day and Catholic Charities North Dakota is blessed again to be participating in this 24 hour on-line fundraising event. The Dakota Medical Foundation (DMF) wants to inspire you to share with others in need and help local non-profits. To make a secure online contribution to Catholic Charities North Dakota and have your donations matched up to $4,000, simply go to impactgiveback.org on Thursday, February 11th.

Movie night will again be held at Our Lady of Peace on Sunday, January 31. We will have a pulled pork meal at 5
PM and then watch the movie at around 6 PM. A description of the movie: From the award-winning creators of Fireproof and Courageous comes War Room, a compelling drama with humor and heart that explores the power that prayer can have on marriages, parenting, careers, friendships, and every other area of our lives. Tony and Elizabeth Jordan have it all – great jobs, a beautiful daughter, and their dream house. But appearances can be deceiving. Tony and Elizabeth Jordan’s world is actually crumbling under the strain of a failing marriage. While Tony basks in his professional success and flirts with temptation, Elizabeth resigns herself to increasing bitterness. But their lives take an unexpected turn when Elizabeth meets her newest client, Miss Clara, and is challenged to establish a “war room” and a battle plan of prayer for her family. As Elizabeth tries to fight for her family, Tony’s hidden struggles come to light. Tony must decide if he will make amends to his family and prove Miss Clara’s wisdom that victories don’t come by accident.
