The participation of Pope Francis in the upcoming World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia has garnered much attention. At first blush, the diverse issues to be addressed at a meeting of families would not seem to focus on environmental stewardship. Marriage, parenting, religious education and the role of women are among the family issues that quickly come to mind.
Francis, however, considers all societal issues as intertwined with family issues. In particular, he views families as central players in the fight to protect “our common home” from environmental degradation and social dysfunction. As a result, one of the scheduled presenters at the September meeting is set to speak on the topic, “Caring for Creation: Pope Francis and Environmental Stewardship.”
