Why should we care for the environment? by Sr. Damien Marie Savino, FSE and Deacon Pedro Guevara-Mann We began with a simple question and the quest for the answer led us to fascinating discoveries. We never thought, when we started working on this project, that we would one day have an encyclical on the environment, on the care […]

Sunday, November 29, 2015

Deacon Pedro

Many people have asked me either how we came to work on a project about the environment, or how we ended up with the format that we ended up with. My response is always that we began with one question, “why should we care for the environment?” and we tried to be honest and thorough […]

Deacon Pedro

Very few of us would argue that we have to care for the environment, in fact Pope Francis has said that it is our moral duty to care for Creation (Morning Homily from Feb 9, 2015). How does this notion square with the idea that Scripture tells us to dominate and subdue the earth? I […]

Deacon-structing Creation

Sunday, June 7, 2015

Deacon Pedro

A few events the last couple weeks have led me to today’s reflection. Primarily, the fact that the Vatican has announced that Pope Francis will be releasing his second Encyclical later this month and that the topic of this papal document is the ecology.
