No, it’s not. God did appoint Man as the stewards of the planet. I think the Christian nations have done a good job of improving our stewardship over the past decades. Of course, we have no control over the communist (atheistic) nations like China where most of the pollution is coming from.
The Pope’s greater blindness in this matter is in thinking that Man can destroy God’s creation. We cannot. Even if we unleashed every destructive force and element we have in an attempt to destroy the earth—no doubt we could inflict some serious damage—but that damage would be temporary and the earth would endure.
Apparently, the Pope is not familiar with the amount of pollutants each moderate volcanic eruption puts out (the equivalent of all of Mans’ industrial output for the past 100 years) and that the earth has at least 17 such eruptions every year.
So, the little leftist with the funny hat gets it wrong again.
No one slaps nature in the face quite as hard as nature herself.
The Pope is committing the sin of excessive “pride” if he views man as being that omnipotent.
In the year 9595
I'm kinda wondering if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing, woah woah
Right on, from a former Catholic. (quit when I was 9 after watching the "Church" continue to change positions on all sorts of things.)
