A Green Antichrist?
Small Dead Animals points out that:
POPE IS WARNED OF A GREEN ANTICHRIST
An arch-conservative cardinal chosen by the Pope to deliver this year’s Lenten meditations to the Vatican hierarchy has caused consternation by giving warning of an Antichrist who is “a pacifist, ecologist and ecumenist”.
Cardinal Giacomo Biffi, 78, who retired as Archbishop of Bologna three years ago, quoted Vladimir Solovyov (1853-1900), the Russian philosopher and mystic, as predicting that the Antichrist “will convoke an ecumenical council and seek the consensus of all the Christian confessions”.
The “masses” would follow the Antichrist, “with the exception of small groups of Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants” who would fight to prevent the watering down and ultimate destruction of the faith, he said.
Cardinal Biffi said that Christianity stood for “absolute values, such as goodness, truth, beauty”. If “relative values” such as “solidarity, love of peace and respect for nature” became absolute, they would encourage “idolatry” and “put obstacles in the way of salvation”.
And to support the argument:
Hmmm. Do the ASCII values of the letters "al gore" add to 666?
Todays food for thought

Green is the new red.
I believe the correct term is Watermelon: Green on the outside, Red on the inside.
Same fellow travellers, just using a different means to the same old end.
Ha!
