Tree Hugin Catholics

The Catholic Church has many teachings on the environment. They are firm believers in the fact that God gave us the world, and that we are supposed to be good stewards of all his creations, being the superior beings on the earth. The fact that we must take care of the earth corresponds to a lot of God's teachings. Thou shall not steal; thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s goods, and treat others the way you want to be treated. Because God gave us the control over the world and everything that cohabits it. By disrespecting his earth we are stealing. Likewise, by ruining the earth you are not only making it worse for yourself, you are also affecting others.
