Simon Peter Okurut,
Below excerpts on a debate I am engaged in on the Environment and on Green Peace in particular. Sounds brutal and uncompromising, and I have not yet responded. Fortunately the debates there are very civilised. I hope Dr Paul Mugerwa and his regular sparring partner on religious doctrine Ben Ziraba Nyende do not jump in, in anger or acclaim, about the unflattering references to the Catholic Church.

"Although Greenpeace's intentions are good, people need to think very carefully about supporting them, as they are only a shadow of what they used to be, back in the 1970's and eighties. It's a bit like the Catholic church. There are thousands of dedicated and sincere Catholic priests and nuns working to help the poor all over the world but they are not the Pope. The institution of the Catholic church is rich, corrupt and powerful but this does not make their followers culpable. Greenpeace today sells ecological dispensation in the same way that Pope Rodrigo Borgia once sold dispensation into heaven. Greenpeace has become the world's largest feel-good organization. Join Greenpeace and become part of the solution without having to change your life-style. It's a growing business. There is the illusion that Greenpeace gets results and in some cases they do, but in reality but there is little bang for the buck. Greenpeace has become a compromising organization. Greenpeace has sunk dramatically with their support of sealing, whaling, and polar bear hunting, and their refusal to oppose the killing of pilot whales and dolphins in the Danish Faroe Islands, or the slaughter of dolphins in Taiji, Japan."
