Папата Франсис отново затъва в екологичните води, приканвайки всички хора да се молят за околната среда, като настояват световните лидери да "чуят вика на земята".В съвместно изявление на Вселенския патриарх Вартоломей за Световния ден на молитва за сътворението папата описва "склонността на човечеството да прекъсне деликатните и балансирани екосистеми в света" заедно с ненаситното ни желание да манипулираме и контролираме ограничените ресурси на планетата и нашата алчност за неограничена печалба на пазарите. "
Историята на света "разкрива морално разпадащ се сценарий, в който нашето отношение и поведение към творението затъмнява нашето призвание като Божии съоператори", заявяват двамата прелати и в резултат на това хората са "отчуждени" от първоначалната цел на сътворението.
"Ние вече не уважаваме природата като споделен дар; вместо това го считаме за частно притежание. Вече не се свързваме с природата, за да я поддържаме; вместо това ние господар над него, за да подкрепим нашите собствени конструкции ", заявяват те.
In their dour assessment of the state of the world, the two men paint a picture of degradation and moral turpitude.
The modern worldview that views creation as a mere resource for the benefit of human beings has “tragic and lasting” consequences, the declaration states. “The human environment and the natural environment are deteriorating together, and this deterioration of the planet weighs upon the most vulnerable of its people.”
The faith leaders also point to “climate change” as the source of many of the ecological woes afflicting the planet.
“The impact of climate change affects, first and foremost, those who live in poverty in every corner of the globe,” they assert. “Our obligation to use the earth’s goods responsibly implies the recognition of and respect for all people and all living creatures. The urgent call and challenge to care for creation are an invitation for all of humanity to work towards sustainable and integral development.”
The two prelates “fervently invite all people of goodwill to dedicate a time of prayer for the environment on 1 September,” a day dedicated to prayer for creation. “On this occasion, we wish to offer thanks to the loving Creator for the noble gift of creation and to pledge commitment to its care and preservation for the sake of future generations,” they announce.
“We urgently appeal to those in positions of social and economic, as well as political and cultural, responsibility to hear the cry of the earth and to attend to the needs of the marginalized, but above all to respond to the plea of millions and support the consensus of the world for the healing of our wounded creation,” they add.
In 2015, Pope Francis became the first pontiff in history to devote an entire encyclical letter to the question of the environment.
In that letter, bearing the Italian title “Laudato Sм,” Francis similarly denounced mankind’s treatment of the planet.
“The earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth,” he said.
“If present trends continue, this century may well witness extraordinary climate change and an unprecedented destruction of ecosystems, with serious consequences for all of us,” the Pope added.
“Climate change is a global problem with grave implications: environmental, social, economic, political and for the distribution of goods. It represents one of the principal challenges facing humanity in our day,” he said.
