After our post about James Cameron’s revenge on rednecks fantasy in his utopian movie Avatar this seems appropriate.

Someone who has respect for the natural environment would respect all biological life for what it is, created by God. Women turn off their menstrual cycles with hormone pills to not have babies, yet insist on eating organic food. They meticulously recycle every item yet allow birth control pill runoff to pollute streams and change the gender of aquatic animals. They avoid using pesticides on their lawn yet take a pill to induce a morning-after abortion. Today’s environmentalists want respect for animals, yet disrespect the natural biological differences between women and men. They believe that nature knows best but advocate gender reassignment surgery for teenagers.

Pope Benedict comments on what true environmentalism is:

“It follows that the protection of creation is not principally a response to an aesthetic need, but much more to a moral need, in as much as nature expresses a plan of love and truth which is prior to us and which comes from God.”
…
“If we wish to build true peace,” he said, “how can we separate, or even set at odds, the protection of the environment and the protection of human life, including the life of the unborn? It is in man’s respect for himself that his sense of responsibility for creation is shown.”

Citing St. Thomas Aquinas, the Holy Father said that “man represents all that is most noble in the universe.”
