The drastic reduction in pollution during coronavirus lockdowns around the world should lead to greater concern for the environment as restrictions are lifted, Pope Francis said on Sunday.

“The lockdown has reduced pollution and revealed once more the beauty of so many places free from traffic and noise. Now, with the resumption of activities, we should all be more responsible for looking after our common home,” he said, using his term for the Earth.In Venice, the usually dark waters of the city’s canals were so clean because of reduced boat traffic that fish could be seen for the first time in many years.

In some cities, such as Milan, pollution reduction spurred officials to plan more pedestrian islands and cycling paths.

O_Grigoriev It’s just common sense. If fish start diying you need to check the water. Polution affects Inmune sistems.

I see that he dresses in rags.

Never let a crisis go to waste

👎🏽

Pope is so powerful.. Pope should take action. Pope should have balls and do something real what change all lifes and enviroment for better.. All people in power just talking, talking, talking. This will go just worst..

Who the foooook is that guy?

The various churches around this globe are wealthier than most banks. If the Catholic church did not abuse children & hence would no longer need to pay billions out to the victims; there would be more monies for good causes. Time for religion to be gone.

The Pope should do something about the pedophiles running around the catholic church abusing children.

Or the awareness that god is out to kill us

Coronavirus pandemic has already established new SOPs for humans life styles and social cultural activities all over the world

And what is your suggestion as a shepherd of the lord

The Pope is showing some out of touch with reality talk. Get off the environmental issues. You still have more pedophile priest disrupting the church environment than you have addressed. The global environmental issues start in China. The Covid outbreak was in your backdoor.

This pope isn’t half bad but the bureaucracy and pedophilic corruption within the church .... I’d wish they just acknowledged their sins like the rest of us are suppose to do...

We can HOPE so! Sadly, the Personal Conduct of some 'so called' Evangelical Christ STAINS, gives Me Doubts about thier Intelligence..As does the Blasphemy of a ' Gospel of Prosperity ' (faceplant)

This pope is very keen on talking potical sensitive topics. Enviromental issue is being used as a political tool. Aren't you see? Let god's be God's and Caesar's be Caesar's

Can I get the gold on his chair? The chair would still look fabulous

He shall where a crown. Of nails. Promise. 👹😈👹

When Q+ has him by the balls....

Why? Are choirboys going extinct?

This has become so political. An activist, this is terrible

The pope is Toast, the FakeNewsMedia is toast, the Dem's and some republicans are toast. SaveTheChildren WWG1WGA TheGreatAwakening Gen FLyn on digital soldiers...
