The degradation of the environment is a pressing moral problem that threatens peace and human life, Pope Benedict said today.
"We cannot remain indifferent to what is happening around us, for the deterioration of any one part of the planet affects us all," the Pope said in his message for World Peace Day, January 1, 2010.
Pope Benedict's message -- which was delivered to world leaders by Vatican ambassadors -- was released at the Vatican December 15, 2009, reports the Catholic News Service (CNS) today.
The Pope emphasized that the future of the world hangs in the balance because of what people are doing today, and the negative effects of pollution and environmental exploitation already can be seen.
