(Nov. 9, 2011) In a speech to an ecumenical gathering in Louisville, Kentucky, Bishop Stephen Blaire of Stockton, CA and chairman of the U.S. bishops’ Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, addressed the Christian vocation to cultivate and care for God’s good gift of Creation, by reducing our consumption and our carbon footprint in order to ease the effects of climate change on the world’s poorest people. In doing so, Bishop Blaire identified how this commitment connects to Catholic concerns for human life and human dignity: People of faith bring a unique and important message: about the care of God’s creation, about those most vulnerable to environmental injustice.
