Our team of copy editors reads and posts most of what you see on the websites for National Catholic Reporter and Global Sisters Report (the NCR project focusing on women religious). The Copy Desk Daily highlights recommended news and opinion articles that have crossed our desks on their way to you.

"But as the medical community examines its response to climate change," Brian Roewe writes, "a discomfiting realization has become apparent: They're part of the problem."
Cue the first song from David Bowie's album "Ziggy Stardust" (it's "Five Years"), because Global Sisters Report turns 5 tomorrow. Editor Gail DeGeorge provides an informative retrospective. Congratulations GSR!
Also on Global Sisters: Women and Earth are 'on the receiving end of patriarchy' when it comes to profit According to Sr. Elsa Muttathu, who represents the International Presentation Association at the United Nations, "When Earth is affected or overexploited, women and girls are affected first."

'Sometimes a fire is just a fire' by Michael Sean Winters: "While the roof of Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral was still aflame last week, the interpretations of what this fire meant began to flood the internet and Twitter.
