Catholic Earth Sprituality
– Spring is the season when life mysteriously remerges out of the cold winter soil. For Christians around the world, spring also means Easter: the celebration of Jesus’ ressurection. A growing number of Roman Catholics are making conscious connections between these two events–linking their faith and their concern for the earth. But as Richard Schiffman reports it’s not always easy to reconcile age-old religious traditions and a new environmental consciousness.
