In a church activities flyer I found in my church's bulletin, I read that St. Monica's Church in Rochester NY is going to show two environmental alarmist propaganda films in (presumably) their church hall. As a Knight of Columbus I was distressed by this and wrote this email to the pastor, Father Raymond Fleming:
Dear Father,
I was distressed to learn that your church is beginning to show movies on environmental issues which are largely exercises in propaganda and dubious science. Before you show the movie on "climate change", you ought to read

Likewise, before you show the movie on the "deadly dangers" of plastics such as BPA, I suggest going to

Our church has credibility problems today, Father. Lending church facilities for the propagation of designing lies cannot help us. As Catholics, we are called upon to witness both to The Truth and the truth. If we pass on misleading information about the latter, who will believe us on the former?
Sincerely,
David Williams

St. Leo Council #9461
The movies scheduled to be shown are "Bag It" and "Do the Math". I've been unable to find an accurate review of either of these films, which reminds us of the insidious dangers of films like this, which elude the attention of our heavyweights (like Marc Morano and Steve Milloy), so they creep unchallenged into our church groups and other small gatherings, sewing seeds of falsehood that soon grow into vines that may strangle our economy before we know it.
Read your church bulletinm, including the inserts. You may be appalled at what you find.
