“An economic system centred on the god of money needs to plunder nature to sustain the frenetic rhythm of consumption that is inherent to it.- Pope Francis, October 2014
there is a clear, definitive and ineluctable ethical imperative to act …- Pope’s Message to UN Convention on Climate Change December 11, 2014

And we are all brothers and sisters!- WORLD YOUTH DAY July 25, 2013
Take good care of creation. St. Francis wanted that. People occasionally forgive, but nature never does. If we don’t take care of the environment, there’s no way of getting around it.- POPE FRANCIS MEETS WITH PRESIDENT OF ECUADOR April 22, 2013
