IN the NEWS - What's Green over COVID and starts with a "V" or has the initials "WCC"?

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that
called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Galatians 1:6

"The Vatican released a joint document with the World Council of Churches (WCC) Thursday calling for greater attention to the environment in “a post-COVID-19 world.”


The human misery associated with the COVID-19 pandemic is taking place amid the broader context of the suffering of this planet,” notes the text, which bears the title “Serving a Wounded World in Interreligious Solidarity: A Christian Call to Reflection and Action During COVID-19.”

According to the Vatican website, the document is meant to offer “a Christian basis for interreligious solidarity that can inspire and confirm the impulse to serve a world wounded not only by COVID-19 but also by many other wounds.”

The text contains an entire section devoted to the virtue of “hope” but curiously omits any reference to hope in eternal life, but points only to “planetary responsibility” and a “better world.”
