Pope Francis has warned moral theologians of an "ecological emergency" which he called “the cry of the earth, violated and wounded”.
The reason for this is "selfish exploitation", he told an audience at Rome’s Alphonsian Academy (February 9).
Francis noticed that he has rarely heard penitents accusing themselves in confession of having violated nature, the earth, or creation, because “we are not yet aware of this sin.”
Father Bergoglio spent two years as a confessor in Córdoba, Argentina. This was the only period of his life when he was engaged in pastoral care.
Twitter User Catholic Sat put Francis' suggestion into practice and wrote, “I have sinned, I used the air conditioning in my automobile on the way to the airport, where I ate a steak, and accidentally didn’t put my plastic bottle in recycling.”

The ecological dimension is a necessary component of the responsibility of every person and every nation. I reflect on the fact that when I administer Reconciliation – even before when I did so – only rarely does someone admit to having carried out an act of …More
Francis in this speech: "The same must be said for the cry of the earth, violated and wounded in a thousand ways by selfish exploitation. The ecological dimension is a necessary component of the responsibility of every person and every nation. I reflect on the fact that when I administer Reconciliation – even before when I did so – only rarely does someone admit to having carried out an act of violence to nature, to the earth, to creation. We do not yet have awareness of this sin. It is your task to do this. Moral theology must take on board the urgency of participating in a convincing manner to the common effort towards the care of our common home through practical ways of integral development."
