In a previous 2016 message celebrating the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, the Pope called on Catholics to go to confession for sins of not being respectful of creation. He gave as examples of an examination of conscience points such as “avoiding the use of plastic and paper,” “separating refuse” and “turning off unnecessary lights.” He called on Catholics to have an “ecological conversion.”

It seems not a day goes by where someone I don’t give a $hit about gets their name on paper or machine where they say something that means nothing to me.

It may mean nothing to you, but a billion Catholics across the globe hang on this guy’s every word.

The only environmental crisis is ‘some people’ are trashing the oceans.
But we are not allowed to criticize them because they are not white westerners.
Do a search on which countries dump the most plastic into the ocean.
I would do such a search but I would be ‘racisiss’ for doing so.
Hey ‘pope boy’ go lecture the people who are actually trashing the world, you hypocrite.
