The Pope Released a Document on Environment Called "To the Glory of God"?!
The new document by Pope Francis on environment is called " To the Glory of God." This quotation is common in several Psalms, including Psalm 148, which tells to the heaven and the angels, to the sun and the moon to praise the Lord.
The Pope described the document as a follow-up to his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si', On Care for Our Common Home.

Those who think they have the right to remove anything they find in the land are slaves.
The culture of throwing away the culture of abandoning are linked, he said. Thrown away are men and women, entire nations, who we leave on the street like trash, right? We must be aware that we are using the wealth of nature only for small groups through socio-economic theories that do not integrate nature.
