The popes have spoken of human ecology, closely linked to environmental ecology. We are living in a time of crisis: we see this in the environment, but above all we see this in mankind Man is not in charge today, money is in charge, money rules. God our Father did not give the task of caring for the earth to money, but to us, to men and women: we have this task! Instead, men and women are sacrificed to the idols of profit and consumption: it is the 'culture of waste.'
Pope FrancisLet us leave a spare place at our table: a place for those who lack the basics, who are alone.
Pope FrancisIf we live the faith in our daily life, then our work too becomes a chance to spread the joy of being a Christian.
Pope FrancisHuman beings are themselves considered consumer goods to be used and then discarded. We have created a 'disposable' culture which is now spreading. It is no longer simply about exploitation and oppression, but something new.
Pope Francis
