“Not only is the material environment becoming a permanent menace
– pollution and refuse, new illness and absolute destructive capacity –
but the human framework is no longer under man’s control,
thus creating an environment for tomorrow which may well be intolerable.
This is a wide-ranging social problem which concerns the entire human family.

The Christian must turn to these new perceptions in order to take on responsibility,
together with the rest of men, for a destiny which from now on is shared by all.”

(Paul VI – Apostolic Letter Octogesima Adveniens, 1971)

Under the direction of Paolo Ondarza
