Rome Reports: Pope Benedict XVI on Man’s Relationship with the Environment

With the significant amount of attention being given to the Rio +20 process here at the UN, I think it is worth taking a bit of time to listen to the Pope’s take on man’s relationship with the environment:

There exists a certain reciprocity: as we care for creation, we realize that God, through creation, cares for us. A correct understanding of the relationship between man and the environment will not end by absolutizing nature or by considering it more important than the human person.

– Pope Benedict XVI
