The Human Family: A Community of Peace

Each year, the Pope releases a World Day of Peace Message. The Vatican has released Pope Benedict's message for 2008, entitled The Human Family: A Community of Peace. The message teaches about the importance of family, the environment, the moral law, and the need for disarmament as they relate to the establishment of peace.

Climate Change

“Care of water resources and attention to climate change are matters of grave importance for the entire human family… Encouraged by the growing recognition of the need to preserve the environment, I invite all of you to join me in praying and working for greater respect for the wonders of God’s creation!”
