How are we to restore creation to the purposes God intended for it?

What are the errors and sins that pervert the earth from the intentions of God our Creator?

To understand how we are to treat the earth, we must understand God's intention in regard to creation-and how the Catholic Church's views on the environment are rooted in her theology of creation.

Drawing heavily upon the Catechism of the Catholic Church,the Catechism of the Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church, papal writings, and contemporary thought, Dr. George's writing reflects a new maturity in Christian thinking about the environment.

It connects core beliefs and their moral implications on how we are to live on this fragile planet.
