Pope’s words motivate

Re the June 24 article Miami archbishop: Pope Francis’ words nudge Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush on climate change: The pope certainly moved me.

He moved me to finally make the home improvements I had been postponing forever: insulated windows, new roofing, new toilets. How will I pay for it? The money I used to give to my Catholic Church on Sundays. What a better way to save my soul. It’s all for the “common good.”
