save the earth

The Kerala Catholic Bishops’ Council Thursday announced that Catholics should include sins against the environment when they visit the confessional.more

One of the reasons for the natural calamities like Tsunami and earthquake is all kinds of pollutions. If we eat something that is not good to the stomach we feel pain and we are not at ease. Our stomach become only when it ejects that which is creating problem. In the same way the earth ejects that which is not good to it. The result of this is earth quake or Tsunami.

We must reduce the use of plastics. We must find out the alternative for plastics and promote it among the plastic users. There are many paper products available in the market instead of plastics. But the danger of plastic is not felt as well as the good of paper product is also not felt among the people. All have the responsibility to save the earth and give a better world to the younger and future generation. The church has also the responsibility to instruct people to save the nature. 

Not only are the human beings creatures by God but also the nature. They are also living being. God created them for the well being of the human society. And he gave us the right to look after and use them for the sustenance of the human society. If we live against the commandment of God then it is sin. If we misuse the nature then we become sinners. The church must create sinful feeling for destroying the nature. People must be made to understand the gravity of destroying the earth by our small doings like putting the wastes in common place and use of plastics…

It is right thing that the Kerala Catholic Church has undertaken to include sins against environment.
