Catholics are being urged to divulge their ‘eco-sins’ during Confession as Bishops launch a new environmental campaign.

As part of an initiative to ensure that the Catholic Church plays a role in tackling the climate crisis, it is encouraging congregants to go to Confession, or “reconciliation services”. 

The lay-run campaign, called Journey to 2030, was launched last weekend in partnership with the Bishops’ Conference and the Ecological Conversion Group, a volunteer group for young Catholics. 

The initiative aims to “create a sense of urgency towards our ecological crisis and those suffering from its ill effects” as well as promote confession of environmental sins.

No. The Church will always survive heresy, and that’s what this is

Until the usccb comes out against abortion and birth control they will sink deeper, ‘they’ meaning the usccb as a definite entity from the Catholic Church.

When will the pope and his entourage start boating to his worldwide events? I didn’t think so.

The state doesn’t pay me for maintaining my 40 acres of forest that sequesters more carbon than I produce, so I don’t feel bad about burning both wood indoors and garbage outdoors.

Catholicism is doing fine and Catholicism is Christian

It is some of the people in the hierarchy who have given into the perpetual temptations -whatever they may be, in this case leading them to heresy

Authentic Catholics pay no attention to this. They know what this is

This is NOT DOCTRINE!!!

This is a "lay group" recommendation "to offer ideas"!
