Catholic Climate Covenant

From dust we were created, and to dust we shall return. #AshWednesday reminds us that our lives are bound to the earth and that repentance includes how we treat our common home. Let us pray and work for right relationship, amen. #EcoCatholic #Lent

"The histories of racism, enslavement, segregation, redlining, mass incarceration, and environmental injustice are not separate chapters from the climate crisis. They are part of the same story."

Trump administration announces repeal of landmark EPA regulation on greenhouse gasses "There is no doubt that eliminating this finding has the potential to increase emissions and create an even more uncertain future."

“The role of government is to work for the common good of all, not just the wealthy and well-connected. The reversal of this landmark ruling is the opposite of that.”

Not all are called to be martyrs like Alex Pretti. But we can be witnesses. (RNS) — People of faith are being called to view politics through the lens of faith, not the other way around.

"Though we are not all called to be martyrs, we are all called to be witnesses. If you are a person of faith, it is more important than ever to view politics through the lens of that faith, and not the other way around."

Matthew 25 reminds us that care for creation and care for people are inseparable - they're one and the same. When immigrants, and those standing up for them, are treated with fear and cruelty, human dignity is violated. And our faith calls us to stand up to injustice.
