Religion and the Environment in the Rhetoric of Thomas Berry and Pope Francis

Title: Religion and the Environment in the Rhetoric of Thomas Berry and Pope Francis
Description: This academic journal entry is based on reflections by geologian Thomas Berry and religious figure Pope Francis as they draw a connection between the environment and religion.
The article covers various perspectives to cumulatively demonstrate the need for environmental change, whether it is rooted in the Judeo-Christian belief in the biblical responsibility of man to protect the earth, or other non-religious roots of responsibility. Both figures agree that there will be consequences for not implementing better environmental practices.
