Pope Francis thinks that the answers to life's questions lie in Mother Earth (ecology).
We will show they lie in the Creator----not the Creation.
Q: What is the purpose of our life in this world?
A: Well Francis, Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13
Q: Why are we here?
A: Well Francis, I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands,...God Himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited:
Isaiah 45:12,18
Q: What is the goal of our work and all our efforts?
A: Well Francis, For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Corinthians 6:20
Q: What need does the earth have of us?
A: Well Francis, And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. Luke 19:40
It is no longer enough, then, simply to state that we should be concerned for future generations." Laudato Si'
