Vatican declares environmental destruction an 'ecological sin'
Original: Down to Earth - A Green pope? Vatican describes environmental destruction as an 'ecological sin'
The Vatican has formally described environmental destruction as an 'ecological sin', a move championed by Pope Francis and his ecological agenda. The declaration builds on the Pope's encyclicals on caring for the planet and puts climate and environmental responsibility at the centre of Catholic moral teaching, prompting debate about the Church's growing role in the environmental movement.
Why now: The Vatican's framing of ecological harm as sin marks a notable expansion of Church teaching on the environment, drawing global attention.
