The popes (Benedict XVI and Francis)Pope Francis said in his Laudato Si that "a purely materialistic has not only resulted in disregard for the environment, but also undermined the worth of a human life".
Before Pope Francis, Pope Benedict XVI said very similar things backing up the idea that we as a whole community need to clean up our act and get rid of our "throwaway culture". He said that "Experience shows disregard for the environment always harms human coexistence and vice versa". |
