California Governor Jerry Brown says that when he was 18 years old and studying to become a Jesuit priest, he couldn’t have fathomed that one day he would share a stage with the pontiff to discuss an issue of global importance.
Now he’s going to do just that. Brown, a 77-year-old Democrat, has accepted an invitation to attend a symposium July 21 at the Vatican hosted by Pope Francis highlighting the threat of climate change and the havoc its unchecked spread would wreak.
