Pope Francis: 'We Have Sinned Against the Earth ... the Earth Never Forgives'
|
[PJ] On Wednesday, Pope Francis gave an impassioned speech on the 50th anniversary of the first Earth Day, calling on Christians across the world to undergo an "ecological conversion" from below, spurred on by popular movements. He claimed that humans have "sinned against the earth" by disobeying God's command to be good stewards of it.
"Because of our selfishness we have failed in our responsibility to be guardians and stewards of the earth," the pope said. "We have polluted and we have despoiled it, endangering our very lives. For this reason, various international and local movements have sprung up in order to appeal to our consciences. I deeply appreciate these initiatives; still it will be necessary for our children to take to the streets to teach us the obvious: we have no future if we destroy the very environment that sustains us."
Francis went on to confess that humans had "sinned against the earth," and the planet will have its reckoning.
