Cardinal Czerny, Prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, reflecting on Earth Day, 22 April, explained why the Church and Pope Francis care so greatly about the Earth, lamenting "menacing failures" which make action to protect the environment "urgent." "The Church cares very much about the Earth because the Earth was created by God, the same God who created all of us as siblings who are called to live together in our Common Home and take care of it." Earth Day "is a day for remembering our belonging in this Common Home to one common family," and to remember "our very serious, and I would say, increasing responsibility to take good care of this one Common Home we have." “We celebrate Earth Day this year in the shadow of multiple serious, grave and menacing failures on the part of the human family to take this reality seriously.” Read more  Comments are closed.
