COP20 statement of Catholic bishops

An international coalition of Catholic bishops have released an important communiqué as part of ongoing climate discussions in Lima.

The entire document can be found here in its original form.

Stay tuned for more. But for now, you may wish to note the Catholic tone and wording of the document. What the bishops stress may not quite be what is reported in the mainstream media.

About the Blog

Catholic Ecology posts my regular column in the Rhode Island Catholic, as well as scientific and theological commentary about the latest eco-news, both within and outside of the Catholic Church. What is contained herein is but one person's attempt to teach and defend the Church's teachings - ecological and otherwise. As such, I offer all contents of this blog for approval of the bishops of the Church. It is my hope that nothing herein will lead anyone astray from truth.
