5/18/09–A joint letter to members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and Catholic Relief Services urges that the “fundamental moral measure of climate change legislation is how it affects the poor in our own country and around the world” and says, “we are deeply disappointed that the funding resources committed to international adaptation fall fundamentally short of what is needed and the increase in available resources is pushed too far off into the future.” See entire joint letter here. Acting on this legislation is a way to fulfill the Advocacy part of the St. Francis Pledge.
