Papal Quote of the Day

"I don't know if it (human activity) is the only cause, but mostly, in great part, it is man who has slapped nature in the face.  We have in a sense taken over nature. I think we have exploited nature too much." -- (emphasis added)  Pope Francis responding to questions about climate change while traveling to the Philippines.

The pontiff has called on Catholics to take action against climate change, and will issue a papal encyclical later this year to focus the Church's effort on that issue.
