Woohoo! Good stewardship of mother earth just got a lttle bit more R-E-S-P-E-C-T from mainstream big Christian denominations known in the past for their ostrich head in the sand approach.
The Baptists have gotten on board the peace train with a formal manifesto - and the Catholics have made it a mortal sin to defile the earth. No kidding. Amazing stuff.
Mortal sins are the big ones, the ones which must be repented of & ceased, like, now. (For those non-Catholics among us.)
