Speaking to a group of lawyers yesterday, Pope Francis said that the Catholic Church is contemplating the introduction of "ecological sin" to the compendium of Church teaching, the Crux website reports today (November 16, 2019).
"We have to introduce, we are thinking about it, in the catechism of the Catholic Church, the sin against ecology, the sin against our common home, because it's a duty," he said.
The pope's words came just weeks after the conclusion of a bishops' summit on the Amazon focused on the environmental threat to the region.
He added that the culture of waste in society is now tending to "degenerate into a culture of hatred."
The pope also stated that upon hearing some speeches from certain governments -- he did not specify which ones -- he's "reminded of Hitler's speeches in 1934, in 1936, [heard] today."
