Call to Catholic Social Justice “We … call for a
civil dialogue and prudent and constructive action to
protect God’s precious gift of the earth’s atmosphere
with a sense of genuine solidarity and justice for all
God’s children.”
—U.S. Catholic Bishops
Today the great
gift of God’s Creation is exposed to serious
dangers and lifestyles which can degrade it.
Environmental pollution is making
particularly unsustainable the lives of the
poor of the world … we must pledge ourselves
to take care of creation and to share its
resources in solidarity.
—Pope Benedict XVI
