Laudato Si' Action Platform
-
Caring for our brothers and sisters means caring for the home we share. Rooted in the strengths and realities of communities around the world, the Laudato Si' Action Platform equips and empowers individuals, families, and organizations in various sectors to take "decisive action, here and now" (LS 161) through comprehensive guidance, resources, and community connections. Laudato Si' calls us toward sustainability in the spirit of integral ecology. With profound care for each other, our Creator, and all creation, we can — we will — build a better future together.

Catholic Social Teaching: Care for Creation

Care for Creation
“The Church has a responsibility towards creation and she must assert this responsibility in the public sphere. In so doing, she must defend not only earth, water and air as gifts of creation that belong to everyone. She must. . . protect mankind from self-destruction."
—Pope Benedict XVI, Caritas in Veritate (Charity in Truth), no. 51

"We show our respect for the Creator by our stewardship of creation. Care for the earth is not just an Earth Day slogan, it is a requirement of our faith. We are called to protect people and the planet, living our faith in relationship with all of God’s creation. This environmental challenge has fundamental moral and ethical dimensions that cannot be ignored."
—USCCB, "Care for Creation"
