Feeling especially rather \u201cLenty\u201d today I needed a good laugh.<\/p>\n
The local Sisters of Charity\u2019s Office of Peace, Justice and Integrity of Creation has produced a Lenten \u201cCare for Creation\u201d calendar that has been circulated by a few like-minded parishes. Each day includes a recommended activity, and some of them are laugh-out-loud funny. Take a look at the recommendation for last Friday, Feb. 22:<\/p>\n
Try a \u201cwater fast\u201d by flushing your toilet half as often. Be mindful that many people around the world have access only to the amount of water each day that U.S. citizens use in one toilet flush.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Office of Peace, Justice and Integrity of Creation (OPJIC, \u2018natch) was founded by would-be priestess Louise Akers, who came to minor fame when Archbishop Pilarczyk barred her from teaching for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati when it was revealed she was a member of the Women\u2019s Ordination Conference. But rest assured OPJIC has retained its founder\u2019s spirit. The website includes a quote from notorious women\u2019s ordination advocate Theresa Kane and an announcement that equally notorious dissident Joan Chittister will be the featured speaker at a symposium hosted by Xavier University.

I guess this is the new version of \u201cEat all the food on your plate, there are starving people in the world.\u201d Like that suggestion is actually does nothing for real problems and access to water is a serious problem in some parts of the world. Just as long as an action makes you feel good about yourself actual connection to doing good isn\u2019t important. As an exercise in solidarity this one is pretty silly,<\/p>\n
Now if you really wanted to flush half as often, get rid of your government mandated comode and buy a classic one where only one flush is actually required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
