Visit Pope Francis' eco-encyclical
In 1979, as a environmental movement became a global eco-ethics and call to action, Pope John Paul II proclaimed St. Francis of Assisi the patron of ecology. The pope spoke of the teachings of Francis being "an example of genuine and deep respect for the integrity of creation."
"St. Francis invited all creation — animals, plants, natural forces, even Brother Sun and Sister Moon — to give honor and praise to the Lord."
An ecology of environmental protection and care can be seen in St. Francis of Assisi addressing creatures as "sisters" and "brothers," a living earth to be protected and sustained, not as subjects to be cast aside, dominated and extinguished.
