[Sundaycommunity] Fwd: Eriel Deranger’s reflection on our 215: It could have been us — Indigenous Climate Action

[Dwyer Sullivan]

Very well said, Greg - unfortunately. A simple help would be for the
Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops to invite Pope Francis to come and
he would - but needs to be invited. The present majority of Catholic
Bishops seem fearful of this simple solution - again, unfortunately.
Peace, Dwyer
