"Earth Sabbath is a climate advocacy group that is seeking to implement a day of rest for the environment. They just produced another video calling upon people to heed Pope Francis’ call to protect the environment by having a day of rest. In the video,
Earth Sabbath praises Pope Francis for his leadership in the climate movement and attributes the idea of a weekly day of rest for the environment to Laudato Si’.
The video highlights the following:
• “Pope Francis has been a powerful voice calling for immediate action. Perhaps the action needed is a weekly Earth Sabbath.”
• “The concept of a weekly Earth Sabbath was introduced in his encyclical Laudato Si’.”
• “The pope has met with world leaders, urging binding climate targets.”
• “Pope Francis has called for a phase-out of coal, oil, and gas.”
• “At the UN climate change conference, the pope urged decisive action.”
• “Pope Francis urged world leaders to end divisions and unite."
• “The time for action is now. We must heed the Pope’s call.”
• “It’s time for everyone to put into action the keeping of a weekly earth Sabbath.”
What we are seeing here is a dangerous mixing of politics and religion with the goal of bringing people together to work collectively on environmental issues. The foundation of this movement will be Sunday. This is a call to implement the policies of Laudato Si’, including a day of rest for the earth."
