A Skeptical Look at Laudate Deum
Opinion -The moral questions that are addressed by Pope Francis do merit consideration. Pollution and litter are real issues, along with unnecessary deforestation, overfishing, and poaching.

People are more concerned with conservation when they are not so worried about putting food on the table.
