 "We
show our respect for the Creator by our stewardship of creation. Care
for the Earth is not just an Earth Day slogan; it is a requirement of
our faith," write our bishops. "We are called to protect people
and the planet, living our faith in relationship with all of God's
creation. This environmental challenge has fundamental moral and
ethical dimensions that cannot be ignored."
(Seventh principle of the
Core Principles of Catholic Social Teaching from the United States
Conference of Catholic Bishops).
