What does the Catholic Church really teach about climate justice?

How will these resources help you?

In RE, we often teach that Christians care for the environment because God created the world, as taught in Genesis 1. However, as you would expect, there is much more to Catholic teaching on the matter beyond these words of scripture. It can be really useful to teach beyond the short quotes of ‘till and keep the land’ to allow students the opportunity to gain a fuller understanding of the faith and how it is lived by Catholics today. Catholics have three sources of authority that guide their conscience: Scripture, Tradition and Magisterium. Referring to more than just scripture will allow teachers to present Catholicism more accurately.
