RADIO INTERVIEW: Catholics and the Environment

With Earth Day coming up in April, “Catholic Review Radio” takes a look at the Catholic movement to address climate change, which didn’t start with Pope Francis’ encyclical, “Laudato Si’ – On Care for Our Common Home.” Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty talks first with José Aguto, executive director of the Catholic Climate Covenant about the principles behind Catholic teaching on care for the Earth. Aguto points out that the first words of the Bible say that God created the heavens and the earth, and we have a responsibility to protect creation for ourselves and others. In the second half of the show, we talk with Nolan McCoy, director of facilities and real estate management for the Archdiocese of Baltimore, about ways that the Catholic Center, parishes and schools are specifically making efforts toward sustainability, including the use of solar and wind power, energy-efficient buildings and better water management.
