"CAMPOBASSO, Italy, July 5 (Reuters) - Pope Francis called for more respect for nature on Saturday, branding the destruction of South America's rain forests and other forms of environmental exploitation a sin of modern times.
In an address at the university of Molise, an agricultural and industrial region in southern Italy, Francis said the Earth should be allowed to give her fruits without being exploited.
"This is one of the greatest challenges of our time: to convert ourselves to a type of development that knows how to respect creation," he told students, struggling farmers, and laid-off workers in a university hall.
This is our sin, exploiting the Earth and not allowing her to her give us what she has within her," the Argentine pope said in unprepared remarks.
Francis, who took his name from Francis of Assisi, the 13th century saint seen as the patron of animals and the environment, is writing an encyclical on man's relationship with nature.
Since his election in March, 2013, the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics has made many appeals in defense of the environment."
Comments:
In Molise, the Pope did more than lament work being done on Sunday. (see link: http://master1844-dc.blogspot.com/2014/07/papal-notes-breaking-news-uhoh.html) He also appealed to those of the GREEN Religion.
Here we see, a pope, in a single day talking of the sacredness of Sunday & later that day talking of "mother earth".
How many times have we claimed on this blog site that, as spiritual Babylon sets up the mark of the beast ( a false Sabbath day to appease Father God) that a way to reach out for co-operation from spiritual Egypt could be the GREEN Religion?
Here, in one day, we hear Francis doing both.

1) Francis appeals to the neo-paganism of mother earth.....calling it "SIN" to engage in development of natural resources that apparently doesn't reach the standard of approval of environmentalists.
....for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie,
and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator,
Romans 1:25 AV
2) Francis appeals to the sacredness of Sunday (hence his lament for working on that day).....But isn't shifting sacredness from the 7th day (of the 4th commandment of God) to the 1st day of the week "SIN"? Because isn't sin a violation of God's Law? Not a violation of environmental activists opinions?
...for sin is the transgression of the law.
