Pope Francis began his tour of Africa Wednesday with a speech in Kenya highlighting an urgent need for humanity to focus on renewing our environment and reducing our footprint on the earth.
The Pope said that a divisiveness in humanity would directly translate to a divisiveness between humanity and nature and that in order to heal the earth, we first needed to heal the division between races, economic classes, and religious groups.
Said the Pope, “In effect, there is a clear link between the protection of nature and the building of a just and equitable social order. There can be no renewal of our relationship with nature, without a renewal of humanity itself.”
