Vatican to build solar panel roof

The Vatican is considering solar panels on other buildings

Pope Benedict XVI is to become the first pontiff to harness solar power to provide energy for the Vatican, engineers say.

The deteriorating cement roof tiles of the Paul VI auditorium will be replaced next year with photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity.

The cells will generate enough power to light, heat or cool the hall, the Vatican engineers say.

Last year the Pope urged Christians not to squander the world's resources.

The BBC's David Willey in Rome says the Vatican is now setting an example to the rest of Italy, which has been slow in harnessing solar.

Surplus power

Pope Benedict has criticised "the unbalanced use of energy" in the world.

Last year he said environmental damage was making "the lives of poor people on earth especially unbearable".

The Paul VI auditorium was designed by architect Pier Luigi Nervi and built in 1969.

The cement panels on its roof have deteriorated and were due to be replaced anyway, said Vatican engineer Pier Carlo Cuscianna.

When the 6,000-seat hall is not in use, the surplus energy will be fed into the Vatican power network.

The Vatican is considering placing solar panels on other buildings although St Peter's Basilica and other historical landmarks will not be touched.

Adoption

"I don't want to bring another kid into this world but how do you argue against loving one who’s already here?" - from the movie, Martian Child

To all those who aren't able to have children of their own and are concerned about the menace of population growth that's threatening our planet.

Infertile couples, gay couples, couples who have plenty of love to give; you can exercise this beautiful, awesome choice of taking in the children of poverty, the abandoned, the orphaned.

Take the honour of being stewards of their lives, share with them the blessings you've been given and turn them into individuals with a sense of meaning and purpose. Let them know that the challenges and the darkest moments of their lives are not to last.

Humanity's saving grace might just be our compassion towards our fellow brothers and sisters.

Slow down population growth! Spread the love!

Bushy bUsh BuSH

I was reading the BBC online news website and came across an article on President George W. Bush proposing a framework for tackling climate change bringing together 15 leading nations of carbon emitters including China and India.

Excuse me? The man who refused to rectify the Kyoto Protocols, opposing reducing carbon emmissions altogether wants the nations of the world to actually believe him? Absolute rubbish! It is most likely the man wants us to follow his idea/version of a global battle on climate change just as he wants us to follow his lead in his fantastic battle on the war on terror. Oh really, I think he did a wonderful job in Iraq so I'm sure he'd make a composed and intelligent assesment on the state of the planet. He's so full of it its unbelievable! I do not believe he's an environmentalist at all and to think that he is capable of leading the world's nations in battling climate change is inconceivable!

This messy state of world affairs of course cannot be attributed to one man of course but never before have I witnessed a warmongerer and deceitful man as with the likes of Hitler!

I would say that he has failed to demonstrate in being capable to lead a great nation as the United States.

I bear witness to your sins Mr Bush along with the rest of the world

Dear D,

Seriously, I shouldn't be bothered but unfortunately it does. I believe there is a reason for this. I will take stock of the nature of people and how I shall conduct my future relations with them and I should also do plenty of self reflecting on how much of this is the result of my doing.

Before thinking about how ugly the outside world is, I should first turn inward and contemplate my inner world and how the connections and interactions between the two condition my state of mind.

I used to be brash, angry and unruly but I know full well the price I have to pay for it and in some ways, perhaps I still am. Life is indeed the greatest teacher and for that I am greatful for the providence that has been bestowed upon me.

How do I be a gentleman in the midst of betrayal and deceit? How do I face my darkest fears without rebelling with hate and anger behind the veil of denial? I cannot and will not walk away from this. This is my Jihad.
