Pope Francis’ Old 2019 Message Unfulfilled – “Help Protect Creation From Greed, Exploitation” And So Is “Laudato Si,” On Care For Our Common Home

Almost 6 years ago, from Carol Glatz (EarthBeat, 05 March 2025, ncronline.org): “Above photo: Pope Francis is pictured with Cardinal Pedro Barreto Jimeno of Huancayo, Peru, during a procession at the start of the first session of the Synod of Bishops for the Amazon at the Vatican 7 Oct 2019.”

Ms Carol then reports: “Pope Francis asked Christians to help protect nature from human greed and exploitation during the Holy Year.” And, I say, beyond the Holy Year! It must be the whole year every single year!

“At the start of the Lenten season, the pope greeted Catholics in Brazil and praised the country's bishops for their continued support of the annual Fraternity Campaign, which is dedicated this year to "Fraternity and Integral Ecology." I Filipino Roman Catholic say:

Ecology is for Everyone. And, Ecology is for Everyday.

“He also expressed his hope that the church in Brazil will contribute to COP 30, the UN climate conference to be held Nov 10-21 in Belém, Brazil, "in the heart of the beloved Amazon."

I don’t know. Did that conference bring out and warn the whole world about the direct and unhealthful contributions of Chemical Agriculture (CA) to Climate Change?

“The church's efforts could help nations and international organizations effectively adopt and ‘commit themselves to practices that help overcome the climate crisis and preserve the marvelous work of creation, which God has entrusted to us and which we have a responsibility to pass on to future generations,’ the pope wrote.”

 “With their Fraternity Campaign, now in its 61st year, the bishops of Brazil are inviting all the faithful to follow a path of personal conversion during Lent that is based on the pope's 2015 encyclical, "Laudato Si', on Care for Our Common Home."

“That document and its follow-up, “Laudate Deum” ("Praise God") in 2023, Francis said, were meant to draw the whole world's attention to the urgency of changing its attitude toward and relationship with the environment.

“The ecological crisis is a call to a profound interior conversion," he wrote.

“The pope's message praised the bishops' conference for proposing a theme dedicated to integral ecology. "May we all, with the special help of God's grace during this Jubilee season, change our convictions and practices to give nature a rest from our greedy exploitations."

I say, if you want to overcome the climate crisis, stop Chemical Agriculture right now – and proceed to Regenerative Agriculture (RA)!

Pope Francis, please preach for Regenerative Agriculture now!

“Lent is a Christian observation starting on Ash Wednesday (March 05 in the Philippines).

“The pope said he hoped the campaign would once again "be a powerful aid to the people and communities of this beloved country" in their "concrete commitment to integral ecology."

In junking Chemical Agriculture and practicing Regenerative Agriculture instead, I say that that is a concrete commitment to integral ecology!

How about the women actively helping lead this movement? Then I can truly doubly wish you people, “Happy Women’s Day!”@517
