Pope warns of damage to the Earth
After a ride through Sydney's harbor on the outdoor deck of a white ferry, Pope Benedict addressed a crowd of over 150,000 youths on Thursday, warning them of the damage to the planet they are inheriting, noting scarred and squandered resources in the name of fueling insatiable consumption.
The Pope told crowds, "It is appropriate to reflect upon the kind of world we are handing on to future generations" His message to Australia, which ranks among the largest producers of greenhouse emissions to the atmosphere due to coal-burning power plant, was both appropriate and well received.
