"If the life of natural things, millions of years old, does not seem sacred to us, then what can be sacred? Human vanity alone? Contempt for the natural world implies contempt for life. The domination of nature leads to the domination of human nature. Anything becomes permissible." Edward Abbey

Fed up with U.S. health care costs, these Americans moved abroad

The church should back climate candidates to fully endorse a culture of life
Elected officials who deny climate change must be called out by the church, and political candidates who support climate action should be endorsed in line with Catholic teaching.
