"We need, in a word, to acknowledge that the environmental and social crises of our time are not two separate crises but one..." insisted Pope Francis as he addressed Interfaith Leaders from Greater Manchester in the Vatican on Thursday.
"Your united witness," the Pope told them,"is particularly eloquent, since the history of your city is closely linked to the industrial revolution, with its legacy of immense technical and economic progress, together with an admittedly negative impact on the human and natural environment.
Certainly, the Pope acknowledged, this demands the creation of new and far-sighted economic models, but also"a determination to overcome the 'throwaway' culture of waste generated by present-day consumerism and by a globalized indifference that inhibits efforts to address these human and social problems in the light of the common good.
An essential aspect of this contribution, he said, is their commitment, as men and women of faith,"to forming the minds and hearts of the young," and"seconding their demand for a change of course and for farsighted policies that have as their goal a sustainable and integral human development."
